Everyday is a struggle in this new journey for me called motherhood. I have two kids under the age of three (not twins) and I struggle to make sure I give them both equal time.
My sixteen month old son was breastfed so a lot of my time was dedicated to feeding him. I occasionally wondered if my two and a half year old feels slighted and like he's not as equally important. I want them both to know they’re equally loved and one isn’t any better than the other.
I thought having kids very close in age would be great for social development. I never thought about the repercussions of not making sure my time is close to being evenly divided.
Eventually I wound up making sure that when my youngest son was asleep I had "cuddle time" with my oldest son.
