Anyone else find it hard to do normal things with the twins

I totally know how you feel it’s so hard I hardly take my twins out because it’s such hard work it really is X

My twins are 7 months and I just started taking them out and to be honest only like once a week (and i dread every time I do). It's so much work. Even taking them for stroller walks is a chore.

Yeah I’m with you! I also have a 3 year old alongside my 15 month old twins and there’s just no way I can take them all out by myself so do feel bad most days! My twins are at that stage where they don’t want to be in the pram either so it’s hard work x

I find it’s more when we are at home and I’m feeding or changing one the other just has to wait. I feel like they will be very independent when they get bigger though and patient

Yeah I take my boys to the park atleast twice a week because I just feel so guilty 😔 My boys are 20 months old now so it's getting easier but alot harder plus I have anxiety anyway so if they kick off in public I feel so anxious and just want the floor to swallow me up lol but I push through it as I know its best for the boys Very hard mummas I do sympathise for everyone with more than one child 😅 Glad I'm not on my own with this one x

@Joanne Could of wrote this myself I feel exactly like this every time we go out my little girl just gets so upset X and everybody looks to

Aw this is me too!! I’ve had a lot of mum guilt recently as I’m feeling a bit house bound atm! I do tend to get house the house and take them for walks and park etc but I get anxious on my own with them in cafe etc as I feel outnumbered lol. I also find it hard packing everything up in the car so I tend to avoid that on my own! I haven’t been to any classes but might try a toddler group soon but we will see! Funnily enough I’m a twin and mum said it was the same with me, I think having twins just isn’t comparable to singletons!! We are all doing great!!

Yes i feel like my maternity leave just wasn’t enjoyable as i felt too nervous taking them out by myself. Have mum friends who were always out and about and was very jealous. My girls are 10mo now and I’d never take them for a coffee etc by myself but they’re great taking shopping etc ☺️

I definitely relate but my attitude now is to just go for it and worst case we come home! When it comes to play groups and baby groups I often message before to understand the setup and how accessible it will be for me and hunt around until I find one more suitable if needed. Also scope out good cafes that fit the big pram and have lots of high chairs. Worst case we just go to a field or a park near by and I just let them crawl/toddle around! They’re honestly much happier outside so I find that easier than being in the house with them!

I hear you all, I do take them to the park as you say its easier when you've got a big space but not too big because one goes one way the other goes the other way lol Especially since one of my boys is on the spectrum so he never listens. I'm the same sometimes I'm like fuck it we are going out don't know where but we are going lol my boys love being out aswell I think that's the kick in the butt for me also as I say my family ain't very helpful as I'm on my own pretty much every day it's hard being a mum but I love it aswell it's such a mix of emotions lol x

Honestly this was me but I promise it gets better. My twins are now 2.5 and yes some days are still a shit show but I can easily now do days out on my own when needed. I find the more you do it the less they’re so wild & get used to having to walk by you/come back/be safe. Finding a local twin group helped when they were smaller as you’re then surrounded by other mums who get it & I also met one of my now best friends there who’s a fellow twin mum. We do lots of play dates and days out together as 2 on 4 kids is SO much easier than 1 on 2 😂

100% these are my first and probably last and I feel like I’ve been robbed of normal motherhood. I can’t take them the park by myself because they’ll run in opposite directions. Eating out with them is a nightmare I feel like I’m spinning plates trying to feed them, pick up stuff they’re throwing and stopping potential meltdowns. I feel so lucky to have them but it’s so bloody hard

@Naomi I know what you mean girl, It is hard especially when your on your own I've got my partner in the evenings so makes life easier with the kids and we get some time to ourselves but everyday is a new challenge I know it will get easier when they are in nursery as I'll have a hour or two to get things done without stopping and starting lol but don't worry mumma we all feel like that at some point xx

@Kate I have tried these things but for some reason where I am they don't have alot of twin things everyone has singletons and don't understand how hard it can be, also hate the play groups because I look young all the other women are so judgemental and it annoys me plus doesn't help I've got anxiety aswell which annoys me as I don't want it to affect my kids but some days are just too hard to even get out xx

Yes sometimes when I see a woman out with just one kid I feel a bit jealous if it’s been a particularly bad day. Then I feel bad later for thinking that 🤣. It’s a weird guilt feeling like you’ve not done enough but at the same time knowing you physically can’t do anymore x

Wish I could say it’s not hard but I have twin boys 3 years old and it’s extremely hard it does get easier once they are able to walk safely and listen but even that we’re still working on, i stayed in a lot and only went out with help or just to supermarkets with the buggy myself I always felt emotional seeing parents with singletons and envied them as they looked like they were smashing it & I was barely surviving.. It does get easier but it’s just a longer road for us hang in there mumma you got this ❤️
