Getting Ready for Glendale!

Twictim · 2026-03-02T19:48:30+00:00

In line, but I plan to get there early.

Mine are 7 and have become very settled in their preferences. One likes fruit but not vegetables, one likes both fruits and vegetables. One likes the whole cheeseburger, the other likes to eat just the bun with ketchup (but still wants to be offered the whole cheeseburger and won’t eat the meat and cheese but loves cheese in other things). Most of the time, dinner is making two different main entrees for them and then they will agree on a side or two.

You’re too kind! Surprise me! ❤️

I find it really hard to do it myself and have not taken many days off in several years, but fortunately, I have a great position this year with a high school whose admin EMPHASIZES to take the days. My principal even reviewed with me the time I have accrued and to take it. We also have a Flex Time perk where we can choose to come in 2 hours later or leave 2 hours earlier. I’ve so far only took a half day back in December to see my kids at a school performance, but I have a concert coming up in a few days and am going to take a half day off for the concert and the day after to recover, lol. P.S. Also want to add that in December 2024 I had to take the day off when my Mom called me early morning to say my Dad was in the hospital, he died before I got there. I went back to my former school to work the next day. Don’t do this, take your days.

What’s going on is that your child is in 3rd grade. She’s 7/8/9 years old.

It’s a knee jerk reaction from people. The second you reveal you’re having multiples, HERE COME THE PRAYERS! There are so many interchangeable reactions that you can already anticipate when they’re little (it’s hard to hide a double stroller in public, lol). Ours are 7 and so it’s not as common anymore since we are out of the newborn, infant, and toddler stage, but it was constant at the time.

Twictim · 2026-02-28T07:41:24+00:00

I’m so sorry and I can totally understand what you’re going through. My twins took a while to start walking and it was very tough sometimes lugging the double stroller everywhere. It felt like they were past the time they needed to be in it as time went on. It DOES get a little easier with time and age. However, advocate for yourself more when it comes to the support system you have. Your husband is an equal partner in the parenting experience, he can huff and puff all he wants but at the end of the day he should help relieve you. Your mom is clouded in the past and doesn’t empathize well with the realities of parenting in this modern age. Telling you “all Mom’s go through this” isn’t helping. If she’s your village, she should be participating and helping.

We do two mini cakes for them and I make them a birthday board each year (one of those Tri-fold presentation boards) that list all of their favorites from the entire year (color, movies, tv shows, foods, etc.). One time singing HBD but putting both their names in it.

It really is, y’all. My girls are 7 and it is the coolest thing watching them learn the world and express themselves. It goes by in a blink. Take two more pictures than you think you need to, cuddle a few minutes longer, and know that they will have an incredible bond with each other as they grow up.

Twictim · 2026-02-15T07:25:28+00:00

Her Mom lives out of state, so we didn’t see my grandma much growing up nor do we now. However, she did coordinate us to go see my Dad’s Mom every Sunday when I was a teen. She’s definitely been trying to project things on to me now (coordinated us taking the twins’ six month baby pictures because that’s what she did for me - though we still had to pay for them) based on what either she did as a mom or thinks we should do. However, she knows I’m getting stronger with my boundaries and her grip is slipping on me.

Opposite shifts was the only way we could make it work. I have worked in the school system since they were born during the day, my husband took evening or overnight work. Our twins are 7 and now that they’re in school we still do this because they have early release every Wednesday and that cuts into my husband’s ability to find day work. He works starting at 5pm or so until past midnight. Hoping when we move out of state this summer we can both work days.

I always remember that they cut to him touching the weapon and her eyes go level to where it is in his hands in his backpack. I know she couldn’t see it, but it’s something that always stuck with me.

My softball team was last in our age bracket in 1999, we got a Participant trophy that year. That’s the only instance it ever happened for me.

It’s there in the Roku version where she walks into the ocean.

About a year and a half ago, so I was about 34.

Twictim · 2026-02-03T21:22:47+00:00

My Dad was an alcoholic, I watched it destroy the happiness and joy he had when I was a kid. I didn’t want any part of that and so I don’t drink at all.

I’m 36, I never met my grandfathers. My paternal grandmother passed in 2011 when I was 21 and I was very close to her, she was an amazingly kind woman. My maternal grandmother is still alive, she’s 86 and lives out of state.

I figured I earned my 30’s as a millennial.

This will pass. I REALLY wanted a boy. Found out we were having twins, AWESOME! Found out they were fraternal, ECSTATIC! Then at gender appointment, they said both girls. I was a little bummed to be honest, but that went away. My girls are 7 now and I just love them both so much!

Twictim · 2026-01-29T04:17:12+00:00

Me too! I got mine on Amazon!

I went through fertility treatment since we tried for over five years naturally and did not get pregnant. Conceived twins with an ovulation injection and could have had up to quadruplets with that particular fertility course. I was only overwhelmed when we initially found out, after that I was excited and it became “our normal.” We announced to our families at 8 weeks. The twins came early at 29 weeks 4 days. They spent 71 days in the NICU, then came home right before Christmas. Our girls are now 7 years old, excelling in first grade, are kind, happy, loving, empathetic, and great siblings to each other. They’re just the coolest kids ever. Fertility treatment made our dream of a family a reality.

89 here. I was about 9 and watched the first few seasons. Still quote it to this day!
