Our acquaintances have two sons with the age gap 1,5 years. The mother relied a message to me:" I survived. You'll survive." I liked it. It's a lot better than the don't worry pep-talk i got while pregnant. And it's spot on as well. One day at a time.

She told how now, when the boys are older (4 and 5), they are the best friends, doing everything together.

They also had this system, that once week mom got her own day. Which meant, that dad looked after the kids for a whole day and mom could do what ever she wanted. The flip-side of the story was, that mostly mom would spend her time in the next room, sleeping :)))
