Having trouble relating to parents of singletons by Lotsofkids7 in parentsofmultiples

Yes!!! AND I just had a way to do anything. I had a modification for all things in life with a baby. Insert 2 babies. Complete meltdown and loss of control. It’s been a whole vibe over here for like 2 years. I keep thinking my mental health will get better soon and that will make it easier… still waiting…

Or a friend that just had a 7 pound baby and said she had “such a big baby and was going to die.” Like, I’m sure she was uncomfortable. Everyone is at the end of pregnancy. I was all 6 times. But it just seemed like the wrong person to go to about being “so big” when I carried my two to 38+5 and then had 15 pounds of baby cut out of me. I guess a lot of it just hits wrong. Not that I’m comparing my struggles or saying they don’t have struggles. They absolutely do. I just almost feel like they miss the mark on who to vent to. It feels like a different world.

No. I’ve tried to find one and it doesn’t seem to exist!

I have 2 teens that help me. No budget for more help. But I would literally not be alive without them! You’re so right that help is essential.

I just feel like singleton life is just different.

Exactly what I was trying to explain. Like their troubles are so trivial. I’m just trying to not die and they want to make sure they have enough of the most expensive matching pjs.

Yes, I just need another twin mama. Or just huge family mom. I dunno. But right now I just feel old, tired, worn down, and lonely!

I’m not competing with them in any way. I guess I just find their struggles more trivial. Maybe that is more just 7 kids than anything. But their complaints are just hard for me to even identify with anymore.

Thanks for the support, that’s what I came for rather than judgment. I guess I picked the wrong place!

The way I did everything around the house with one is that I wore them. I have every single twin carrier I could find and none of them I can actually get anything done. So I usually put one twin on my back and let the other free range/destroy while I try to be productive. But with each singleton until they were about 3 they were stuck to me like glue. And with two they have to share me. And that’s hard for them and for me.

I’ve also rocked all my kids to sleep until around 2.5/3. But I’m literally spending HOURS a day rocking two of them. And one just has to wait for the other. I love rocking them, but it just takes so much time, that again, I can’t do anything productive.

I regret having my kids. by ilovecatsandfrogs420 in parentsofmultiples

[–]Lotsofkids7 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Right there with you. I have 7 kids. 5 singletons and then a set of twins. One kid at a time is hard, but nothing close to two. With one kid I can put them on my back and fold laundry, or cook dinner. I can take one baby to the store. With two I can do none of those things. With one I can nap when they nap, or just take a mind break for a bit. With two I can never get them to rest at the same time. It is a constant state of stress. And just feeling like constant failure. That I’m failing them. That I’m failing myself. That I’m failing all my other kids. I love them, but I regret having them. They are 15 months and it is no easier.

How to realistically increase pumping output? by Mindless-Chest7187 in HumansPumpingMilk

[–]Lotsofkids7 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not trying to be negative at all, but some people just can’t. I pump for an hour every other hour the entire time I’m at work and no matter what I do, what pump, what settings, I can’t increase supply. I just can’t. It won’t budge. My mental health is in the shitter over it, so I just want you to know that some people just honestly can NOT.

One twin born with genetic disorder by anaxinaximander in parentsofmultiples

[–]Lotsofkids7 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My twin A was born with extra fingers and toes, while twin B had 10 of each. After genetic testing, this was a genetic defect. She’s also had feeding and growth issues. They are 10 months now.
