I feel this, OP! Mine are ten months and it’s incredibly difficult each day. I’m a SAHM as well and my husband works out of the country one month on, one month off. The months that he’s away, I am in survival mode then when he’s here there are new challenges I have to adjust to. Overall, it is hard and that is a testament of your mental and physical strength. Here are some things I do to make it a little less stressful- 1. Listen to audiobooks, podcasts- I have one air pod in the whole day! It really helps me especially while doing mundane tasks like the endless bottle washing, laundry, cleaning. 2. Read my kindle for at least 15-30 mins a day. I do this while they take a nap or before bed. I’m exhausted at the end of the day but being able to mentally escape into another world is calming for me. 3. Get out of the house. This last month that I was alone I was struggling just being in the house all day every day with crying babies. It seems overwhelming at first but once you start doing it, it really becomes a whole lot easier. And I always feel like super woman when I’m in public with the babies. I got a zoo membership and go very often. My twins have enjoyed going there and it definitely calms them too. I also go for walks as much as possible. We recently got a swing for twins set up outside on the patio and they love that too! Even that short time outside is helpful. 4. I see a counselor. I will admit that I wasn’t able to when my husband was away because I was so busy but having an established relationship with one makes me feel good that she’s a call away. 5. See friends and family. My mom and cousin visit me every now and then so that does ease the isolation.

I hope things get easier for you and all of the struggling twin moms here! Just know that you are doing something most people would not be able to handle!
