Dad's Having TWINS OR MULTIPLES ?? RUN....SEND A CHECK!?

Hello, I am a proud mummy of 2 year old twin daughters. Yes they are very hard work, yes some days I think I'm having a nervous break down, yes some days I think I only wanted one. But I had two and I do count them as blessings. My b/f is not home for most of the day and they are usually in bed by the time he gets home. I'm very lucky I have my family right around the corner to help me. I actually came of maternity leave early because it was easier for me to work than stay at home with them. I work part time and I go to work for a rest! But however proud I am of them when people stop me in the street and say "ahhhh, Twins how lovely, I always wanted twins" I want to shout "are you crazy you want to try it, sure they look cute but trust me if you had them for a day I bet you would give them back!" But I don't I smile sweetly and say "double the trouble, double the love!" The worst time I ever had with them was when I had a really bad cold and they both did too and I found one of them had head lice... that was the end of my world. They say things get easier... yeah right I have 8 sets of twins in my family of various ages and not one of their parents has told me yet it gets easier. I know this is not really an answer... but boy its good to get things off your chest once in a while!!!!! And you are only human and I totally understand the way you feel!

Twins do grow up and it gets much easier... I raised my twins practically on my own (ex-husband would only come home once they went to sleep at night & never once woke up for them), along with my 2-1/2 year old...

By the time the kids don't eat things off the floor anymore and are walking well, it already starts to get easier. When they're 3 or 4, it's a piece of cake :-)

Oh goodness...I always thought twins sounded like SO much fun - until I had ONE baby. Now I can't imagine two at once! (Which means my next will be twins, right?) What a great dad for doing so much of the childcare, though. I know it's exhausting now, but you'll be so glad later on that you were such an involved father. It all passes SO quickly, I promise. Pretty soon you'll have two-year-old twins (yikes!), then ten-year-old twins... It stinks that they grow up so quickly, but it does mean that things will get easier soon. Hang in there!

sounds like you have your hands full,lol. well, just remember when you mom said " i hope you have kids that are exactly like you" now you know what she dealt with,lol.

You have been blessed, enjoy them while they are little.
