any other moms of 2 under age 2 feel like they're going crazy?

Question

I have a 23 month old son and a 3/ 1/2 month old daughter. My son has been sleeping through the night since he was 2 months old, and my daughter has been for the last few weeks. However, it seems that since I finally got my daughter to sleep through the night, my son has been waking up screaming every night and coming to get in bed with us. I am so tired I can hardly keep my eyes open anymore, and I feel like I'm going crazy. I don't know what has caused this with my son. Any other mom's out there feel like they are going crazy with 2 kids both under 2 years old?

Update:

Baba, I know what you mean. I always tell people that they should wait until the first one is either 2 or potty trained. People on here don't like being told that, but I'm sure they figure it out when they have that second one and they are pulling their hair out. No, neither you nor your kids are abnormal! LOL.

Yes I do all the time.  I have a 17 month old and a 3 month old who is one of the fussiest babies ever!    My 17 month old gets jealous but he is getting a little better.

But apparently I must be the weird one because I read on here all the time when people ask about having babies close together how mothers say it's so easy and wonderful to have 2 children under 2 and I am like 'what am I doing wrong???!!"  Or are my kids different than others or something??

When I try to tell people the reality of it I get thumbs down!  

Yahoo Answers is a twisted world I tell you...

Edit I am so glad to hear someone else understands!  I totally agree with the waiting until 2/potty trained part!!!!

I've been there! My girls are 18 months apart. They are 3 years, 3 months and 21 months. It always seems like it's one or the other, doesn't it! LOL! Trust me on this though...once the youngest is about a year it all gets much, much easier! That first year is a little tough but it's all worth it, my girls are so close and play so well together that I would not change a thing! :)

sorry to hear you are having trouble.  i think its pretty normal.  the 23 month old is still a baby and is adjusting to the changes in his life.

on the off hand- i truly hope that this happens to the mother of my stepson! she is fixing to pop out number 3 with daddy 3 and my stepson is 19 months old.  I hope he drives her freakign crazy! sorry- had to get that out!

ahh thats like meeee
my son is a little over 2 years old&&my daughter is 4months old.
well he used to sleep in his bed and wouldnt wake up till like 10am
well now that i had my daughter he sleeps with us even when he fals asleep on his bed&he now wakes up like at 7or8!!
when she sleeps till like 9or10!!
i think he just thinks hes gonna miss out on something and he might think the newborn is going to sleep with us on the bed and he isnt. 
lately my eyes shut throughout the day and i catch myself falling asleep!!
its hard
