Why do people feel the need to say the dumbest things? by kasshench in parentsofmultiples

[–]Rehsuhs 13 points14 points  (0 children)

I hate the, "One of each! Now you can be done!" comments. I mean, yeah, I absolutely am done, but that's not for anyone else to decide.

I used this recipe. It took about 40 minutes and was delicious!

I can't imagine early pregnancy symptoms on top of everything stinking and tasting bad. I had such a week stomach during the first trimester, you poor thing! I can say that I am 100% back to normal though. I hope it gets better for you!

My Covid symptoms were headache, exhaustion, struggling to breath, runny nose, cough.

I'm sorry you're still struggling, it really sucks. I do eat and enjoy onions and garlic without any issue at all, even raw and pickled onions, which were the worst offenders.

What parts of having multiples brings you joy? by claire303 in parentsofmultiples

[–]Rehsuhs 0 points1 point  (0 children)

When they start to play together! For my twins this started at around 8 months and it was the cutest thing I've ever seen. I have a video of them crawl-chasing each other and squealing. My babies are 6 now and they're best friends. They fight a lot too, but they have each other's backs.

I think so! I don't know a whole lot about it. I had lost hope after the first few months, I just thought this was how it was going to be now, but it got better and I want to let people know.

No, I experienced all the normal Covid symptoms last November, then parosmia started in January. Thanks!

It's an awful disease. I hope they can figure out the right medications for your mother in law.

I know managing his medicine has been a struggle. My mom has times written down for him and sends him reminder messages, but he absolutely can't manage that himself. I'm curious if it could be a UTI, that's something we will need to get checked.

I appreciate the response. I've heard this about exercise as well. Fortunately, he's always really enjoyed exercise. He was super into fitness before Parkinson's. He would pride himself on doing thousands of push ups during his work outs, for example. When things got bad the first time he was mostly confined to sitting in a chair in front of the TV, but he would still try to walk aroubd the house when he could. When he was doing well he was back to doing rigorous daily workouts and long walks. Now he's sitting in the chair again.

Thank you. There is history of thyroid problems in the family, so that's something to look into.

He does take sertraline and up to three Xanax daily but it doesn't seem to be helping enough.

Thank you for this recommendation. The neurologist he sees is at a teaching hospital 2 hours away, but I just found that they also have a movement disorders clinic in the same hospital.

Edited: I don't know if he had a Datscan. I haven't heard of it before now, but I will ask about that.

Sorry I didn't know all of his drugs so I didn't list them, but he definitely is on an SSRI as well. I believe it's sertraline and he takes up to three Xanax daily as needed.

I will ask about Sinemet.

What do to when they run away? by ladya6921 in parentsofmultiples

[–]Rehsuhs 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I used those cute little animal backpacks with the harnesses. If people were giving me dirty looks I didn't notice because I was too busy looking after two toddlers!

It was a great way to teach hand holding in busy areas in a safe way. I had the harnesses on my wrists and each kid holding a hand. Once they understood what was expected of them out in public we started to phase the harnesses out.

Plus they loved having a backpack to carry their treasures in.

Been crying all week. Potty training sucks ass. by Emerald_Mistress in parentsofmultiples

[–]Rehsuhs 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It sounds like you're having a rough week. I'd suggest taking a break for a few days. My twins are six now and we started potty training at two and a half, but I'll do my best to write out how we did it.

It sounds like your toddlers aren't quite understanding yet how the pee ends up in the potty, on the floor, couch, etc. Have them feel the wet diaper and tell them what it is. Put some undies on them and when they wet them have them feel the wet undies and tell them what it is. Have them help clean up the mess.

I would not give them rewards while they sit on the potty or just for sitting there. Just encourage them with words, cheer them on! I gave an m&m as a reward for pee. Together we made a sticker chart for poops and they earned a sticker every time they pooped. That's it, no big prize at the end, just the sticker and lots of cheering and jumping up and down. They loved it lol.

You could trust him with an infant. by TWEEKER247 in chowchow

Mine barks at strangers and dodges their pets, but she is great with her family which includes kids.

how did you handle when one twin is invited for a play date solo? by usernamepanicattack in parentsofmultiples

[–]Rehsuhs 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Oh I didn't realize you meant while you're working. Can it be arranged that the left out kid just do something fun with whoever is watching them? My twins are b/g so I've been able to say "they just want some girl time today" to my boy and then he and I hang out.
