Hating your husbands job

@Morgan thanks 😊 he ate cheese tonight that’s all he wanted and orange juice had his bath and played with his toys and watched Danny go. But the girls won’t stop crying 😭. I have done everything possible. I’m ready to lose my mind.
In that case, remember what everyone says when you first bring your kid home? Crying means they’re alive, and it will not hurt them to cry for a few minutes if they’re fed, safe, and clean. Have you ever tried ear plugs? They make some really nice reusable ones that muffle noise without completely canceling it out; it makes crying a lot easier to tolerate when you’re overwhelmed. I think mine are Loop brand.
My husband travels for work so I have my 2.5 year old and 8 week old alone a lot (even if he doesn’t travel he comes home later) so on days I’m struggling, we do quick/easy meals or I go pick something up and we just survive. Putting my baby in the carrier and going outside with the toddler has been a life changer. My baby calms right down outside and usually falls asleep and with her being in the carrier I get some time with my toddler which she loves. Are your twins gassy? My baby can be gassy and colicky so we do little exercises and give her mylicon and it tends to help
Hey mama. Message me. I may not have twins but my hubby is OTR gone Sunday through Friday. I understand your feelings exactly. I have a 14 month old and a 4 month old. Give me a message and we can chat. I don’t have anyone around me that knows how I feel. I’ll be there for you hun.
My dad was in the navy and was gone a lot. What I remember my mom doing when I was around 3 or 4 was having what we called pity parties. We had junk food and watched movies, everything else could go on the backburner. Sit your two year old down with a bowl of something he doesn’t usually get to eat, put on a movie and stress how it’s a BIG DEAL he gets to watch this, and plop on the couch or floor with the twins. Cover the floor with blankets and pillows, turn off half the lights. If bath doesn’t happen, it doesn’t happen. If the only thing that gets eaten is chocolate cereal and cheese sticks, it’s one night. Just remember this is a BIG DEAL and really oversell it.
