Quoting Finally #2:" I need some tips to staying sane with a new born (5 days old today) a 3 year old and babysitting a 1 year old. Im feeling a little worn out, tired and frustrated...."

bless you..lol I can barely function with just my 2 week old

Wow! That's a lot to take on so soon after just giving birth. Is there anyway you could stop babysitting the 1 yr old for awhile? My DD was 2 1/2 when I had my 2nd DD and it was tough on me, I was completely exhausted all the time.

Well for one...I probably wouldn't babysit with a newborn, to me that is insane. I have a 3 1/2 year old and just taking care of her with a newborn at home was enough  

Ummm. I have no tips really. Emmy was well behaved at home with her new sister. When baby would sleep we would do stuff together like color, put together puzzles and the such.

I really dont have a choice, Im the only one available to watch her, and my sister cant afford daycare. Its tough, and I wish I didnt have too, but Im not the kind of person to not help some one in need.

Just remember that it will get easier
