I’m returning to therapy next week for the first time in ten+ years. We have two kids under two and mostly aren’t sleeping, which has revealed many cracks in my emotional armor.

Any advice for parents of young children surrounding sleep/stress?

Thanks for your reply. Yes, that’s exactly what we’re doing. Mom/Dad alternating nights with the monitors in a different bedroom so the other parent can try and sleep 😵‍💫. I think the hardest part for me is that I haven’t necessarily noticed (at least, in the moment) that I’m especially irritable, defensive, etc. and once I do check in with myself and acknowledge that I tend to handle it better.
