    I just wanted to take time out and tell you lovely ladies thank you!

    There are so many days where I feel frustrated, sad, angry, exhausted, etc. and when I *foolishly* tell either a singleton friend or my well-meaning mother, I am met with comments that often times make me feel as though I am a bad mother (or silly for feeling guilty that I can only pick one up at a time anymore, or wondering if I am permanently causing harm on the psyche of the poor little one I have had to leave in the crib while holding the other...You all understand me...)

    When I come on this site, I read mostly, but your candor, wit, tears and sharing make me feel normal...and I THANK YOU!!! :air_kiss:

    We are all amazing people...this journey is not for the weak or weak-minded, is it?

    Awww, I'm glad it has helped you as much as it helped me in the beginning. It's certainly nice to know you're not alone.

    Exactly! Even with my DH home, I need other women to bounce things off of.

    I've always found it most helpful to talk to others who are actually going through the same issues. I'm glad you have found support here, there are definitely lots of amazing & supportive moms (and a few dads) here. :hug:

    Its always great to hear and associate with ones that know EXACTLY how you are feeling or what you are going through. Its really hard to talk to singleton moms because for us multiple moms, its a WHOLE different ballgame.
    I dont post a whole lot but I am on here daily reading others post because 9 times out of 10, its been posted already before me and I just reference it.

    I say a big thank you to everyone as well!!! We are a diverse group of people and in return we all need each other a lot of times to keep the sanity to a minimum!

    ITA with all of it! I can't even imagine how much harder it would have been those first few months without this forum. I also think the Moderators deserve some credit because I think they do a great job keeping topics on track, mitigating any conflicts, and ending topics when appropriate. I don't think the forum would be as great without them.

    I talk about Twinstuff all the time IRL with my family!! They all get the advantage of your advice and experience, too!

    Could not agree more - this forum is truly unique and was a lifesaver in the early weeks and continues to be now.
