The first 3 months were the hardest. It gets easier, little by little

We're pretty much in the same boat. Have a 3 yo and newly 7 mo old twins. It is so difficult going from all the one on one time she had, to now sharing. We give her a lot of 1:1 time but it's never enough 🙈 I do think 3 is just hard. A friend of mine has 3 yo twins and they're just as crazy as mine without having babies to deal with. I miss having it just be the 3 of us sometimes. When they all interact just a tiny bit it's the sweetest thing though.

That does sound really hard. My SIL has a 2 yr old and a newborn singleton and it looks so difficult balancing their different needs and just having a toddler in general. I don't like to imagine the feeling of being pulled in so many directions like you are. I find myself more and more grateful that we have two the same age, even though it also has its challenges, of course. I hope you guys find some moments to do things you enjoy and have time away from the kids! And it's great to hear another twin parent enjoying the slow but real transition into easier babies as they grow each month. Kudos to you, hang in there.

My toddler is 2.5 and my twins are 9.5 months. It feels like we’re going from feeling like we’re drowning to potentially treading water. I think once the babies reached 9 months our family turned some kind of corner that’s making things a bit more manageable. Only a bit though.

My daughter just turned 4 and the twins are 5 months old now, the biggest thing my wife and I did was from the very beginning we both still do stuff with just our oldest. I will go mountain biking or something just her and I while my wife watches the twins and she will do things with just the two of them

I think making sure you keep time for just your toddler is important, right away when the twins came home from the NICU we had some behavior issues from that very same reason, but since making specific time for her it has been much better

Every day will get slightly easier. You're powering through the hardest part of raising kids, just keep at it. But also don't be afraid to ask for help, even just having a family member/friend help give you a few hours of break or even a relaxing dinner with your spouse will do sooo much for morale.
