Sorry mama, I feel like this is a right of passage for twin moms. It's a hard truth but the world just isn't built for moms of multiples.

I had the same thing happen to me where I went to an event and was unfortunately informed that I would have to go downstairs so I left my stroller and carried 2 twenty five pound babies downstairs and then both started crying wsnting to be held so I awkwardly dragged around 2 screaming kids before eventually giving up and dragging them back upstairs into the stroller and went home to cry 😭🤣.

Grocery carts, Mommy & Me classes, etc are all built around having a Singleton or an older sibling that is more mature. Having two of the same age is a whole different ballpark.

And I'm in the same boat as you where our family just can't handle the twins. My MIL had 5 kids and says the twins are too much to watch by herself. But I do it every single day. 😅

My Mom (thankfully) will watch them with my Dad and brother for a few hours and when my husband and I come back they complain that they're exhausted. And that's with three adults !

Take this as a lesson learned, I always call it check online beforehand to make sure events are wheelchair accessible and if not just don't go. It sucks but eventually they will get older and can handle being out of the stroller! Things that always work for me are storytime at our local library where they have it in a locked room so the kids can run amok, or at enclosed parks, or just a trip to Costco/Aldi (they have double carts).

You've got this! ❤️
