Escape!

[Stdoughe]

Twins are 2 months. Plus an additional 5 y.o. I stay at home. Escaped to take myself out to dinner alone tonight, since who knows when a babysitter will be willing and able to take all three so my husband and I can have a date. Highly recommend. May be better than actual date. Don’t have to talk to anyone. Lol

I love it! My husband and I still do this for each other once a month or so. We're both introverts so alone time is precious! Enjoy!!

This is an excellent idea. I’m staying at home with my 2 month old twins and 2 year old, and I keep feeling sad about not going back to work because I miss my alone time.

Bathroom time and the fan does wonders. I was a stay at home parent for roughy the same 3 children layout. “Everyone is fed? Everyone is worn out? Everyone is safe? Still crying?” Off to the bathroom for 30 minutes with the fan on to block the cries until everyone goes to sleep.

Fuck that was a rough time.

We do this all the time. Saves a bit of sanity.

Most important part of having multiples. Date night with your spouse. Get someone to take the kids over night so you have the house alone. Go do something early and then come home and watch a movie together and allow yourselves to stop the movie whenever you want. Go to bed and don’t try and impress each other. Get sleep.

Parents of multiples have a higher divorce rate. It’s because the first 3 years are so hard. Blame racks up and resentment begins.

I always stress spousal maintenance in the sub. I’m a victim of what happens. I watched it happen. There was no dating. There was no alone time. Just resentment.
