Feeling Crazy
HI there,
New to this group. I have twin girls that are 10 months and a 2 year old girl as well. I am new at this stay at home mommy thing. I feel that I am going to loose it. I get to stressed out!! I feel all I do is scream and yell at my 2year old and then say no no no to the twinkes. Today was hard and I really don't get help from the hubby. He works 12 to 15 hours a day and when he gets home he want's to sleep. (ME TO) We live far from family and friends and and well ok I FEEL CRAZY. Any advice to give. Jackie |

Jackie Get a mother's helper to come after the school day ends. You need to be able to take a break and be somewhere else in the house while a teen watches the little ones for you. Cindy Wells (when my sister and I were age 4, we started playing with a neighbor's two year old. This entertained her while her mother graded papers (third grade teacher). When her little brother was born, I suspect this was a real plus for the neighbor. My mom got to know the family well before my sister and I went over - she was one of the few willing to bring their dog home if he got loose during the day (St. Bernard). However, she'd usually deliver Bernie with us in tow shortly after we moved onto that block .) |

Hi Jackie,
I have nine month old b/g twins and a 21/2 year old. I never thought life could get so stressful. My boy twin is a really hard baby and is not a great sleeper. Today he didn't go to sleep for his afternoon nap and I needed a break so bad I thought I might just lose it. Staying home all day just makes everything more stressful and it gets my 21/2 year old in more trouble. I get out at least once a day. We go to the park, for walks, play in the grass outside etc. I have to maintain perspective. This time when they are all babies will not last. I hear when twins turn three it is better than not having twins. Good luck to you. Kimberly Jackie wrote: HI there, New to this group.

Jackie Hi Jackie, Cindy & Kimberly, I HEAR YOU ABOUT THE "CRAZY" SISTERS! I am also new to this group. I have twin girls aged 20 months. I am relieved to hear others saying they find being a stay at mum difficult at times. I am feeling lucky at the moment as you all have twins AND another sibling to care for!!! I feel for you, and appreciate the hard work and stamina that you must need every day. I was a really disorganised person before the twins, but I found getting (and staying) organised really helped. I find keeping a routine of the essentials (baths, meals etc) allows me to spend more time with the girls. Oh... and learn to delegate and to say NO without feeling guilty! Become the CEO of your house. Hang in there and it should get easier the older they get. Hope this helps someone, you ladies reminded me there is always someone doing it tougher than me. Thanks JKN |

Sorry Kimberly, but my twins are three and it's just as hard as when they were one! Now they are learning to manipulate me, together. Their sibling rivalry is at a peak. And the worst of it is trying to potty train two kiddos. Seriously, it's horrible. Now maybe yours will be different, but I'm just warning you not to get your hopes up!
