Wine down the hatch. Guys, my toddler fucking hates me and MH for having another baby. Challenging is not even the word for it right now. He is throwing fits and tantruming over EVERYTHING, wants nothing to do with me and nothing to do with the baby. Please send help...and more wine.
Honestly speaking though...any advice from btdt parents of 2+ on how to cope when your older child is having a tough time with the transition?
I have all the drinkies because payday finally. And it ended up I attended H's counseling sesh and he attended mine, so we actually made some excellent progress with some breakthroughs today.

Going from one to two is so hard! I failed miserably with that transition, so I have no advice. You will make it through. My older 2 are now the best of friends.

2 is a hard age gap for this reason. To young to explain it to them, but old enough to notice they are not the only kid anymore.
If you can, try and get some one on one time with him. He's acting out because he wants attention.

Yep, exactly. I try to say to him "I know you're upset, and thats ok, but its not nice to hit/kick/throw food/etc at mommy/daddy"...but he's not hearing any of it right now.
I made sure to bring him to his PT appt alone today without DH and the baby, purposely to get some one on one time, and it seemed to help a little, but he overall I just seems upset about everything (I'm sure part of this is me projecting/over thinking, but still..makes me feel like shit). Its also really hard for me to feel comfortable being away from the baby right now. Considering hes only a week old.

Water only for me again tonight.
So I waited patiently for DH to get home tonight so I could escape to have a relaxing bubble bath and he could deal with both boys. Ten minutes into my bath I hear the pitter patter of little feet up the stairs and DS1 busts in and is all "Mama, you're having a bath! I'll join you!" And he whips off his clothes and jumps right in. Peace and tranquility gone. Way to keep them contained, DH!
I know Larry happened. Please do not try to convince me otherwise. Please don't talk to me about coffee. I don't drink it. I don't caffeine. When I state my opinion, that is me chiming in on a topic. This is not me saying you suck at life if you do or feel differently. If I want to say that, I will. If I want to speak on you, I will.
