Help!
My twins go to nursery 3 days a week now, starting this week. Previously it was 2 days per week.
I'm finding the evening/post nursery pick up routine so hard and stressful. This is what it looks like:
Me/partner cook dinner pre-5pm so it's ready when they get home
5:30pm - pick up
5:40-5:45 - get home, shoes off, dish up dinner
5:50/5:55 - serve dinner
6:15 - clean up dinner
6:25 - quick bath
6:40 - moisturise, pyjamas on, milk
6:50/6:55 - brush teeth
7pm- take to bed. Settle around 7:20
Everything feels like such a rush and I'm not really used to it. When they went to nursery only 2 days we didn't bath them on those nights and instead bathed them the next day so we never had that rush. I feel like they are so tired and hungry from nursery that our routine isn't helping to create a calming/settling evening for them.
What does everyone else do? I can't imagine how people with multiples do bath after nursery every night of the week (for those who go in FT), but they are often so mucky from nursey that I think a bath is really important.
Twins have just turned 2 YO for reference.
Any tips or advice welcome!
