The little bitty issue that I have and would like some advice on is that I have a 3 month old baby, and my stepdaughters loooooove him so much (luckily they aren't jealous). But, I'm still getting adjusted to motherhood myself, and it's natural for me to want to keep the baby away from all germs and any possibly injuries.
The girls always want to touch and hold and play with the baby, and it makes me upset whenever I put him down to do some housework they start messing with him and wake him up when he's sleeping. From there, they get in trouble with me and I end up getting onto them. Also, when I tell them not to pick him up (bc they are too small to pick him up and carry him around by themselves) they still do it, and I get mad at them but I feel it's too harsh to put them in timeout for that. Unfortunately though, it happens over and over again.
I don't know if it's just me being too sensitive about the whole thing or if I'm in the right for getting upset at them over that.
