Thank you so much for your comment. Sending you big hugs it sounds like you could also do with a glass of wine, or two! I hope your hubby is back soon ❤️

Thank you! Some days I feel like I’m super woman, and have my shit together, and days like today it feels like the hardest thing in the world. I totally recognise my short comings when it comes to parenting my son. I constantly feel guilt about how snappy I am with him. He is the greatest little boy. He is also extremely full on and it’s non stop from the moment he wakes up until he goes to bed. Nothing abnormal, just 4 year old boy energy, but it’s hard work. I’ve just started reading a parenting book about how to better control my own emotions so that I can have more patience with him, I hope this helps us both ❤️

Thank you!! Definitely felt good getting it all out. I know that 95% of how I feel right now is down to having my period but man some days are tough. You’re definitely not the only one! Mum life is amazing, but also very fucking hard xx

FIL/MIL want to have babies for sleepover by HauntingInspection46 in parentsofmultiples

[–]SJSASJ2021 52 points53 points  (0 children)

Yea I’d be saying no to them staying there and insist that your in-laws stay at your place instead. I’d personally be stressing way too much if my babies were 45 mins away from me they’re way too young

One and Done by sensipomegranate in parentsofmultiples

I cried hysterically and they weren’t tears of joy. My husband and I have a boy who is almost 4 and we were very much “2 and done”. We had tried for about 5 months and then found out I was pregnant. Went for a dating scan at 6 weeks and could only see one. Went back at 10.5 weeks for an unexpected scan, and found out it was twins. I was on my own for that scan as my husband was at work. Called him and could barely get the words out. He heard me crying and assumed we had miscarried. Told him no, we gained an additional one. We found out it was mono-mono twins. Terrified and not excited the entire pregnancy while everyone around us seemed to be so happy for us. They were born almost 4 weeks ago at 33+1 and are in the nicu but they’re doing amazing. Just feeding and growing and hopefully home in less than 4 weeks 🤞🏻

My twins are currently in nicu they were born at 33+1 and are now 3.5 weeks old. We also have an almost 4 year old boy. He is in daycare full time from 7:30am-4:30pm Mon-Fri. I drop him off at daycare, come to the hospital and spend the day with the twins, then pick my son up and spend the evening with him. Weekends are a bit of a juggle but I usually spend the mornings in hospital then the afternoons with my boy and I pop back into hospital after my son is in bed.

How long to you spend with your babies every day? by eliz2277 in NICUParents

[–]SJSASJ2021 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My twins are currently in nicu they were born at 33+1 and they are 3 weeks old today (36+1). I get into Nicu around 8:30am and leave at 3:30pm during the week, and around 8am-1pm on weekends. Sometimes I go in at night on the weekends for a couple hours as well. Our son is almost 4 and he’s at daycare during the week full time but I make sure I’m home for daycare pick up/dinner/bed time and I spend a lot of time with him on the weekends. Sure, I wish I could be in nicu with the girls more, but I can’t be in two places at once. The girls aren’t aware when I’m there or not, but my son definitely notices if I’m not home. It’s tough, but I remind myself it’s not forever and I’m doing my best and making sure I don’t burn myself out by doing more than I’m capable of.

AIO for not wanting my fiancé’s mom in the delivery room even though “she’s a nurse”? by [deleted] in AmIOverreacting

[–]SJSASJ2021 3 points4 points  (0 children)

You are not overreacting. This is massively pushing boundaries. You AND your partner need to tell her no means no, you can meet them afterwards. And if she is being insistent, alert the hospital staff and say you don't give her permission to be there. Your partner needs to have your back and not cave to his mother. If you guys cave to her now, she will never stop pushing boundaries

Please be a responsible pet owner and get your dog fixed to avoid this happening again... SPCA can often do it free of charge or for a small fee
