SURVIVING TWINS UPTO 4

Firstly I have to say dont listen to anyone saying HOW WILL YOU COPE WITH 2 ???? You just will cope....Well what choice do you have really. You were prepared to take on one so now its just doubled.... My saviour was breast feeding both at the same time, which was a feat in itself as I had been given a C-section and my hubby was working away and I have a 41/2 yr old so the less movement for me the better so I became a minimiser of time wastage and found I was coping better. The terrible twos turned into trisome threes and the frantic fours and thats me being frantic. My girls can do things unimaginable for their size and age...I guess its like they say two heads are better than one. Well Bulk buying was and still is the way for myself to shop as going shopping with my girls can end up costly from the checkout lollies where they have worn me down after finishing the shopping to the drive through bottle shop for the six pack of gin and tonic so when I shop I SHOP hehe.

To sum it up you adjust to two quickly I believe but I'll post again when they are 5 lol.

i love it!
i am the proud mother of twin girls now 16 months. Regarding breatsfeeding, i did it at the same time but found a great pillow called the "milkbar" you strap around your torso and buckle up at the back, it supports the babies so all you need to do is position them and relax. i have learnt however when out to keep your head down and don't make eye contact if you're in a hurry cause you get stopped by everyone! (not that i'm complaining as i am terribly proud of them!) what i hate is when people say that they're a handful, so i've learnt to smile and say, yes but it's a good handful

My wife and I survived
We had two boysand thought itwould be nice to have a girl and you can guess what happened. First out was a boy and we thought "Oh well it's going to be four boys", but next out was a darling little girl. My wife could not breast feed so it was bottles to the fore. I well remember sitting up in bed  half asleep feeding one while the wife fed the other. But I must admit my wife had the tougher job as I was a shift worker and was away from home from 2pm until 10.30pm+.  Then when they were 13 my wife dies (aged 46) from cancer. I then had to survive and I was still a shift worker. The two older boys were out in the world making their own lives. The twins were great. They got themselves up for school each day, helped me with the housework at the weekends and always managed to have a hot meal on the table for me when I came home for my meal break. They are now 30 and making their own way in the world. The son is finding things a bit tough but my daughter is an advertsing guru with a big international firm. But what I'm trying to say is it's possible to surive if you are prepared to work at it.
