My oldest is gone for 2 days, he is 2.5. I can 't believe how much EASIER it is with just the twins, and how quiet the house it. I love my DS, but I am enjoying this break
:lol: I feel the difference when I have just one twin... I can't imagine twins feeling easy! :laughing: Good for you for getting a bit of 'peace and quiet'... it's all relative, right?
Totally relative! I'm coming at it from the opposite direction. My LO is 22 months and the twins are 8. When the twins aren't here I'm like "please come back!" He will follow them around in silent awe all day long if I let him so when they are gone it's twice as chaotic with just one kid than it is with 3 .
It always feels weird to me when we only have one twin (which doesn't happen often). It's like something's missing! I don't have any other children so I've just gotten used to having two babies. Most days the girls are pretty well behaved so it's actually fun hanging out with them all day. I feel like we're a little gang and that if I just had one it would be kind of lonely. I am probably crazy for saying that but it's honestly how I feel!! Though I can't even imagine what it would be like with the twins and an older sibling.
It's crazy with my older one. The twins are getting more mobile now, especially Nathaniel, and he is forever in Donevan's toys, and Donevan being 2, HATES to share. I am constantly playing referee. When Nathaniel is in D's toys all you hear is 'Play with your own toys baby!' Then a frustrated cry from Nathaniel as he gets the toy taken away from him that he has worked so hard to get. William just sits there and watches the madness.
We've had one twin a few time. I remember when one ended up back in the hospital and my husband and I couldn't believe how easy it was to have one baby! What were all our friends complaining about...this isn't hard We also thought, that how awesome it is that we can each have a cuddly baby, and don't have to share one. Do singletone parents fight over the baby???
Enjoy!! I have the twins who are 2y8m and Annabella is 13 months. To just have one toddler-heaven! It's a rarity around here though! Enjoy your little break! : And to the quote-I often joked with dh it was a good thing there were two babies-I didn't like to share! :laughing:
As much I love my daughter I have to say her being home drives me nuts. Things are so much easier when she is in summer camp. Well, unfortunately, she has one more week left and will be home with us for the rest of the summer. Oh this will be so much fun :headbang: Oh yeah and to top it off she seems to be going through separation anxiety with her brother (Matthew) at the same time, she follows me everywhere, she literally sits next to bathroom door when I am in the bathroom, oh joy of motherhood :headbang:
its nice to know I'm not the only one that feels this way my daughter will be 3 in august and I've come to dread weekends when she is home from daycare because I have the twins who are 2 months (adjusted 2-3 weeks) and then her and its just crazy between her tantrums and jealousy and the babies screaming its like a circus..I look forward to monday when she goes back to daycare just so i can have some quiet here and there and maybe get a few things done. when she's home its impossible.
