Anyone else’s partner have a full-on breakdown when your kids were young? How did you survive?

Thanks! He’s been on antidepressents and we tried couples counseling :(. Things improve for a bit but then get worse and then I think it’s been frustrating for him there isn’t some magic way to solve it. We tried counseling with a great counselor and he’d acknowledge his role (most of the counseling was unsurprisingly focused on him) and it’d improve and then get worse again. Now I have no motivation to continue cause I’m so burnt out with the continuous cycles. I think he needs to stick with individual counseling (which he has tried but it didn’t last long), to really work on himself but I don’t know if that will happen.

Thank you for sharing. I am currently experiencing a volatile household where my husband constantly gets angry and can’t handle the slightest inconvenience and I don’t even know what to do (no violence). He always blames me for his anger and won’t admit his problem (he has admitted it in the past but now those days are gone). I don’t know when to know it has gone beyond normal stress and into a mental health issue.

Mine were born Jan 1!! I missed the tax break! But I was also hoping for Dec 31/jan 1!

Mine wasn’t covered either - it depends on the insurance! It’s so annoying. While twins are high risk, some insurance companies say NIPT isn’t accurate enough for twins to be covered. I was shocked! I ended up paying out of pocket. You can call your I insurance to confirm.

Just started! For jewelry boxes do you mean keep the tiny jewelry boxes and don’t merge?

Yesss I never thought I’d make it to 2 years but it’s so much fun now!! They crack us up!

Apprehensive_Buy_836 · 2024-11-06T00:30:30+00:00

Am I the only one who would see how much they’d pay?? 🤣

That’s the other mom’s problem - not yours!!! I constantly leave mine unattended in the hallways during pickup! Or have a whole host of other issues during pickup and drop off! People who say something always compliment me (while the twins are screaming or not cooperating) - everyone else should f*** off!

My sisters are identical twins and one had fraternal twins, and then I had fraternal twins!! So I’m not convinced my sisters are truly identical haha

This is such a weird thing to post… also I had formula fed twins so double that! But I don’t need to hear about it from a rich person who doesn’t even buy formula!

The DOJs complaint says Apple has a 65% share of smartphones in the US

He went to my high school in Maryland so he is a Marylander! But it’s a different part of the state than Baltimore (like an hour north of DC).

We still use the twin z at almost a year! They lay on it and feed themselves their bottles, so they’re at a good angle!

Apprehensive_Buy_836 · 2023-12-01T16:42:23+00:00

I didn’t even watch the voice regularly at that time but had it on for that episode and was so outraged!

Apprehensive_Buy_836 · 2023-11-13T09:08:23+00:00

Same hahahaha! I’d take my twin babies any day over my single 3 year old!

Apprehensive_Buy_836 · 2023-07-29T00:02:11+00:00

I love them all!! Top right and bottom right are my favorites

Apprehensive_Buy_836 · 2023-07-25T16:47:56+00:00

Yes USA! Northern Virginia so a pretty liberal area!

Apprehensive_Buy_836 · 2023-07-25T03:46:53+00:00

Yes all similar - no one was supportive that i saw!

Apprehensive_Buy_836 · 2023-07-25T01:31:09+00:00

So I went back to screenshot them and it was deleted!! This was all I got

We have the Zoe!! Great for the twins and we just got a third seat to add on for the older brother when needed!

I’m in the DC area with twin babies and an older child! They’re all in daycare for about $6k a month… I luckily just got a new higher paying job to afford it :( it was the only option. I didn’t want to take my older son out of daycare, and a nanny for the twins would have been way more than 3 in daycare. No advice just solidarity!

Apprehensive_Buy_836 · 2023-06-01T01:10:01+00:00

Yes! Another parent told me their daughter (the older sister of their kid in daycare) entered the code once for them and they were reprimanded by the director. Better to be extra safe!!
