I hate being a twin mum

It will get better ☺️ I have a 5 year old and 10 month old girl twins. Now the girls crawl and stand, I sit on the floor and all 3 of them climb on me and play. I have learnt to be able to hold both girls and sit them on my lap if they both need me at the same time. I will find ways to comfort both at the same time when they need it but assure you it will definitely get better and the guilt will ease ☺️ hang in there your doing great I

Don't worry, everything is going to get much easier with time. Just trust your heart and feelings.

You are doing great, and the proof of that is in the feelings you put into this post. Being a mom is challenging, and being a mom of twins is a lot for anybody.

Trust I know how you feel. I have twins myself, and I have been there. It will get better trust. I thought it was never gonna get better, but it did. Mines are 1 now, and a lot of that stuff stopped.

Thank you so much for the lovely comments! I just see my toddler asking me to play and when I can’t it breaks my heart! I am just having a bad day tbh as both twins have needed holding all day and it’s just got a bit much! Even 5 mins after this post I feel a bit better (as I have 1 twin asleep in my lap and the other on my shoulder ha)
We are all super hero’s!

You are doing great! I promise it will get better. I used to feel the same way and now I cannot imagine life any other way. There are still days where I just wsnt to scream but it does get better!

Awe mama! How old are your twins and toddler? The ages make a difference on what stages you’re dealing with. When I’m doing laundry I get my toddler involved. Helping with the ‘dishes’ and laundry is his and my chores together. He loves the sense of accomplishment and time with me. When he wants to play I have him bring toys to me and we have imagination play with his dinosaurs and duplo block people and cars while I hold a baby. When the babies were small they were perfectly happy to be stacked basically on top of each other. Now I lounge with one in my arms and the other sitting or laying in my leg cradle and toddler plays with me on the makeshift end table next to me. My toddler is also gotten involved in helping me care for babies. I ask him to bring me diapers or bottles or pacifiers. We also play peek a boo and practice entertaining them together. Sitting on the floor with toddler playing while babies are on the floor for tummy time. It’s so hard twin moming with a toddler. 🫶🫶🫶

my toddler will be 3 next month, twins are currently 9 weeks! Today the twins just cried all day and wanted to be held so was struggling

9 weeks?! Yikes!! I’m so sorry. It’s soo okay to hate being a twin mama right now! You are still in survival mode. At least the first 3 months is survival mode. My boys were all born in October. So I have 7 month old twins and a 3.5 year old boy now. It’s sooo much better now. I used the twin my breast friend pillow and footballl fed them on it weather they were on the boobs or bottles and when they fell asleep they stayed on the pillow so I could get some rest and baby staring. Feel free to DM me if you want to talk about 3yo and twin parenting. No judgement here. Nothing but love and support!💙💙💙🫂

I am a twin with a brother that is also 14 months older. We are all nearly in our 30s now and all have a great relationship with each other and our parents. I don't remember any specific times I needed my mum and she couldn't comfort me immediately so if it happened it wasn't all that bad for me! and all of us have grown up to be independent and considerate people so try to cut yourself some slack and dont feel guilty for doing your best, my mum is honestly my hero I have so much respect and admiration for her as an adult! 💕

good to hear it gets better :). Today has been a better day! Thank you xx

aww that’s lovely xx
