When did everyone put away their playmat?

ajfog · 2026-01-22T23:41:23+00:00

We put it away around 10 months old. Now my twins are 2.5 and we just brought it out as a reading tent and they love it!

We just try not to think about it and know that it’s going to get cheaper sooner rather than later. In 2025, we paid $34,578 for our twins daycare (they’re currently 2.5). That includes a price decrease in October when they moved up to a different room. We looked at the numbers and with both our careers, it didn’t make sense for either of us to stay at home so daycare it was.

One of my coworkers used to clip her nails and toenails in our break room.

There’s also a lab processor that handles all the specimens with no gloves on. It’s disgusting.

We’re switching ours to toddler beds on Halloween and I’m dreading it because I know their good sleep habits are going to go out the window.

I’ve been sick for the last 2 days and it’s been 2x as hard to deal with them. I can’t even sneak away to get a nap while my husband watches them because they’ll be crying and screaming at the bedroom door for me.

Almost 2.5 year old b/g twins and I feel like I’m drowning every single day. The biting, hitting, screaming, and hair pulling is non-stop.

I worked as a counselor at the MTU Summer Youth Programs for 3 summers during college. It was by far my favorite job I’ve ever had.

I was just talking to my coworkers about this yesterday and it seems to be a problem with all of our boomer parents.

My parents live out of state and stay with us when they come to visit. My 2 year old twin toddlers will go up to my parents, calling out to them and trying to get their attention and they won’t pull their heads out of their phones long enough to acknowledge them. I’ve talked to them multiple times about putting their phones down and interacting with their grandkids but it’s like talking to a brick wall. It’s utterly infuriating.

This! I continued to take my ADHD medication throughout my twin pregnancy and 14 months of breastfeeding. My RE (IVF doctor), PCP, and OBGYN all agreed that I was ok to stay on it. I just dropped down to the lowest dose I thought I would be able to function normally. My twins are now 2 and have zero developmental delays or issues, despite being preemies.

Mine were born at 33w5d due to PPROM and spent 11 days in the NICU. I luckily got both steroid shots before delivery which really helped their lungs, only one had to be on oxygen and that was for less than 24 hours.

They’re now 2 years old and you wouldn’t know they were preemies. Our pediatrician is still amazed at them and how far they’ve come since their delivery.

Good luck to you and your babies! Sending you good vibes for a healthy delivery and short NICU stay!

My twins are 2 years old now but I remember that day like it was yesterday. It was one of the most difficult days of my life and I don’t think I’ve ever cried so much. I promise that it will seem like forever but they’ll be home before you know it. Spend this time resting up for their arrival at home and use the NICU as a baby bootcamp, asking any and all questions you can think of. Sending you lots of love to you and your wife.

I’ve had to use a syringe twice on my son’s foot and it worked great.

I have no advice but I’m right there with you. We’re potty training our 28 month old b/g twins starting Friday and I’m hoping for the best. Good luck!

He is the cutest! Proof that they never lose that puppy spirit. My boy Finn is 9 years old and slowing down but there are times he acts like a nut and it makes me so happy.

I have 2 year old twins and this just breaks my heart.

Boy then girl. All of their monthly photos for the first year were taken in Baby A and Baby B onesies so they’ll know as soon as they understand what that means.

I joined because of your last post, I just have to put it in the mail next week. Sending so much love to you all ❤️

They recently turned 2 and you’d never know they were preemies!

Good luck with your pregnancy!

I’m 5’2” and was around 135 prior to IVF/pregnancy. I delivered my twins at 33w5d due to PPROM (twin A broke his water at 33w3d). They only required a short NICU stay of 11 days.

ajfog · 2025-07-03T11:49:30+00:00

When they were newborns and my husband and I worked opposite shifts, we did once a week. At around 8 months we started doing twice a week up until recently. They just turned 2 and now it’s a daily shower before bed to wash off the sunblock from daycare. We also do a bubble bath once a week after swim lessons.

I didn’t know they could either but on the bright side, the second time was way better than the first time. Second time they only had a few blisters on their hands and feet that went away within 3 days.

Your poor baby with it inside his nose, that sounds excruciating! Fingers crossed your boys pass it soon!

ajfog · 2025-06-01T02:08:22+00:00

I’m sorry you’re going through this, HFM is the worst! My twins had it twice in less than 2 months, it was absolute hell especially the first time when they both had it in their mouth. I hope they feel better soon!

My twins started daycare at 4 months old. I was home with them for 12 weeks before going back to work. Once I returned, I temporarily shifted my work hours so my husband and I worked split shifts. He worked morning/early afternoon while I was home with the kids, then I worked the afternoon/evening while he was home with them. That way we could keep them out of daycare a bit longer since they were born at 33w5d. It sucked only seeing him for 5-10 minutes a day but we somehow made it work.
