It can’t be easy taking care of them. Quite honestly, I don’t think I could’ve done what you did. I have a couple of friends who have triplets and they were just overwhelmed. They had to get extra help just to get by on a daily basis.

I’m a mom of 6 children. 2 of them are twins.

Yes, there are certainly times it’s fun and joy.
But when I wanted to go for a few groceries I got bored by all those people telling me how much fun it was. It took me a complete hour for a 3 minute errand.

In fact I haven’t been able to enjoy them as much as I wanted, just because I was the one taking care of them.

I’m always amazed how people only look at the outside.
Babies are ooh and ah, untill they smell a dirty nappy.

Well, it all arrives with the bundle too.

I understand what you mean. It’s fun playing with them for a while. But I’m sure it’s not easy handling two kids if you’re not used to it

I agree with Carol. It’s all gooey until you have to take care of them for a whole weekend. My sister has twin boys and one weekend taking care of them was no fun … it was fun spending time with them. What am I saying, I am confusing myself

What I mean is, “it was fun taking care of them but tiring.”

Wow, double trouble, huh?

My sister got one of each in one shot – all natural, no fertility drugs added.

Yeah, it’s all ooey-gooey until you have to take care of them for a whole weekend. I’m ready to give ‘em back by Saturday afternoon.
