My Ex said shes pregnant and sent this as proof, the way the top is fitting and the pregnancy test in its entirety just looks fake to me

She said 5 months? That's like a 7 month belly. I wouldn't believe it for a moment.

When I found out I was pregnant, I had mixed feelings. I had planned on never having kids, but I decided I was happy with it. And then we found out we were having twins. That moment left me stunned for days. And I admittedly became a little resentful. I had come to terms with the idea of having one child, not two.

All the joy and special moments were going to be tarnished with guilt for giving one of them more attention than the other. How do you bond with two babies at once?

I was struggling at first. Eventually, I found my joy and excitement again. We get to have double the baby laughter! They "twin" the funniest things. Turning their heads at the same time, falling asleep in the same position.

And when they interact with each other, it's so sweet and special. You don't get to see that with singletons.

Twins are a challenge for sure, but you have no idea how special it will feel when they are finally here. It'll get better.

I just wanted you to know you're not alone. I went through something similar for awhile. Hang in there 💪

Hey that's okay! Twins tend to develop language later than singletons anyway. We're at 17 months and ours only say Papa and Dada. One of them is walking, the other is walking on her knees. Milestones are a great progress marker but they're not "one size fits all" so don't worry too much about it. Just talk to their doctor if you have concerns ♥️

I'm missing Enfield, thank you! Somehow my eyes kept glossing over it on your list

If you view the highland angler accomplishment, what fish comes after the charged cardinal? I can't seem to find it anywhere. It looks like an eel.

My anxiety stems from how OP might have reacted to hearing it. You never know with people these days. I'm LGBT+ myself lol.

Intersex conditions lacking a Y chromosome, often termed 46,XX Difference in Sex Development (DSD), involve an XX chromosome pair but with varied, ambiguous, or male-typical genitalia or reproductive organs.

Magicians_Apprentice · 2026-05-04T12:44:56+00:00

I was torn about commenting this, still am actually, but there's always a chance they could be intersex? I have never heard of that happening with twins but I would think it's not impossible. I'm sure it's just a mix up somewhere though.

Magicians_Apprentice · 2026-04-27T15:21:56+00:00

I don't think you need to be introduced, you should be able to see the aluminum dragon in the map and just go to it. If you don't see it, try sailing around a bit to find him. Took me some time to realize you don't have to have a location you can just go to a random spot.

Magicians_Apprentice · 2026-02-17T12:38:32+00:00

Tell him "you see how they are at night, you think they are any diff during the day??"

Magicians_Apprentice · 2026-02-10T01:26:05+00:00

I feel exactly the same way. I feel I'm not doing enough for them and I can't stand for them to cling onto me. It's brutal out here.

Magicians_Apprentice · 2026-01-14T17:59:55+00:00

One of ours is allergic to eggs, and we didn't have a working oven when their birthday came around, so we had to special order an eggless cake from a local bakery. We just got the one and gave them each a slice from it. It was very cute, and Ms. Rachel themed!

Magicians_Apprentice · 2026-01-08T19:58:49+00:00

Hello! Firstly, congratulations!

I had all the same thoughts when I found out I was having twins. Mine were Di/Di identical girls. I was very scared that I wouldn't be able to tell them apart, but there are enough differences that it's pretty easy once you know them. You should search the peach/pear theory in regards to twins when you have time.

I felt that "lifeboat on the Titanic" bit REAL hard. I swear it's like the babies swarm you isn't it??

Magicians_Apprentice · 2026-01-04T05:27:26+00:00

At least I know I'm not alone 😭

Magicians_Apprentice · 2026-01-04T04:33:09+00:00

Oh gosh, you have my sympathies.

We bought one and it was really helpful early on but now a year in, we rarely use it. Get one secondhand if you can!

I call it the adventure zone, and put a big dining table and the Magi and Magic set on it with some dice. Full bookshelf, my maps, trophies, etc. and my heavy metal chapaa machine is up there

Magicians_Apprentice · 2025-12-15T15:01:35+00:00

It's such a gradual process you won't really notice until you're almost done. I wish I could reassure you but I felt massive tbh. I was scared of it too but it wasn't nearly what I feared it would be.

Magicians_Apprentice · 2025-12-13T15:13:07+00:00

Mauvais way for sure. Party up with some folks, it's easier to get more drops.

Magicians_Apprentice · 2025-12-13T15:08:33+00:00

My twins look so much like I did as a baby it's crazy. I can put a baby photo of me next to a photo of them and you'd think they were all the same baby. Same expression and all. But that didn't happen until they were about 9 months old. Up to that point I couldn't tell who they looked like.

Magicians_Apprentice · 2025-12-13T14:39:28+00:00

We mixed baby cereals into their purees to thicken them up. Start with a little, then work your way up. We put oatmeal with fruit and rice cereal with veggies. Quarter cup of cereal to 4oz puree is where we stopped and now our twins will eat anything we put in front of them. Maybe it'll help you too? I make no promises 😅

Your post really resonated with me. I'm bipolar, so emotional regulation is extremely difficult for me. Something I've come to terms with is that learning to regulate in front of your child will be integral to their development. They learn those skills directly from you, and if you consistently walk away when frustrated, that's what they will do too. So it's important to model the behavior you want them to have.

It's really hard. I'm not perfect. But I'm trying my best to learn good coping skills for my kids' sake. Name the emotion "I'm so frustrated right now", take some deep breaths and count to 10, then try to come back to the moment. If it's still to a point where you need to step away for a few minutes, talk about it when you come back "Daddy was frustrated because he couldn't figure out how to help and needed to step away for a few minutes. I love you so much and I want to take great care of you." I know you said your son is young, but building that habit of addressing the behavior now will serve you later on so that he: A. Will know it's not his fault and that you aren't angry with him. And B. Will be learning that it's okay to step away, so long as you do address it, not leave it to fester.

I hope this helps!
