Raising a toddler and a baby at the same time is like trying to pat your head, rub your belly, do squats, and cook dinner — while someone’s crying and someone else is climbing the couch. It’s chaos. It’s beautiful. And it’s exhausting.

From the outside, it might look like we’re winging it—and honestly,
sometimes we are. But here’s the truth: what feels like a “parenting
fail” in the moment is often something far more valuable underneath.
It’s real. It’s human. And it’s teaching your kids things you didn’t
even plan to.

Before becoming a parent myself, I didn’t truly know what postpartum meant or how deeply it affects families—especially moms. It’s often a silent struggle, one that many dads don’t hear about until after the baby arrives.
