Unloved

What do you do when your older child doesn't feel "loved" anymore once they have a baby brother/sister? How do you divide the attention between the two or how do you explain to the oldest why mommy has to pay more attention to the new baby? I'm going through this now with my 7 year old, every few weeks or months she comes to me or a member of the family and tells them she does not feel loved and she feels I pay more attention to her brother than her. I tried explaining to her that he is growing and iam teaching him things that I have already taught her and that's why I spend a lot of time with him and I tell her that I need her to help me teach him alson, she acts like she understands but then a week or so will go by and I'm having the same convo with her??? I do things with here whereas its just her and myself but it don't seem to be enough I don't know what to do at this point!!

Life after children

Have you ever looked around and wondered where did your social life go? I'm still trying to figure it out, I use to be a social butterfly but now my socializing has been reduced to posts on Facebook or some other social network. I rarely have face to face contact with my friends anymore, I'm doing my thing and they are doing theirs and I feel bad at times especially when the friends without kids want to hang and sometime I just can't, either i'm to tired from dealing with the kids or I just plain ol' don't have nothing to wear to these outings anymore. Is that bad? I try to go out every now and again but I just can't hang like I use to!! My kids and my relationship with my FiancĂ© consume pretty much all my time how do I find time for myself? How do I get that little part of myself back? Do you feel like this sometimes MOMS?
