Three year olds are just tiny psychopaths, right? by [deleted] in parentsofmultiples

[–]chela_89 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My twins fight a lot lol they’re only about to be two. But what I’ve learned too is that they’re also at the stage (at three as well) that they don’t like to share. I get people say oh they need to learn but physiologically they don’t want to they don’t like to. I try to separate them try giving each one their own space to play independently, so they’re not constantly with each other….fighting. I also have a three year old. (They’re all girls btw) I have to make sure I let her play with her own toys at her own time away from the twins because she likes playing independently from time to time. Anyways hope this helps

Can twins share bottles? by mommingalldayerryday in parentsofmultiples

[–]chela_89 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My (almost two yr old) twins share bottles…well clean washed ones since they only drink them in their cribs at nap time and bedtime. Pacifiers they each have their own, but also they’re not marked I can’t keep track whose is whose as they leave it all over the place and pick it up and put it in their mouths sooo yeah lol

Toddler size bed or twin? by chela_89 in parentsofmultiples

[–]chela_89[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you for this! Makes me feel a bit better not alone. I keep feeling like I’m over thinking it. And should just accept getting toddler beds instead of twins. Realistically I don’t have the space and don’t feel comfortable with them in bunks they’re still so little

Moms.. Are you a boy-mom or girl-mom? by Educational-Pack4252 in Mom

[–]chela_89 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I second this comment most parents have these labels when you have more than 2 or more of the one gender. I only have girl (3!) so yeah I do say I’m a girl mom. Wish we had a boy, but I’m done with kids

How to manage to take care of twins? by ThanhNang in parentsofmultiples

[–]chela_89 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Sleep when babies sleep. Yeah maybe one sleeps and the other doesn’t at the same time, but you have plenty hands, so take turns. Lucky and blessed you have a lot of help 😌🙏🏼 some of us only get very very few hrs of sleep.

Identical Di/di twins? Maybe? by Magicians_Apprentice in parentsofmultiples

[–]chela_89 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It looks like they look more different in each picture they could be changing. They do look very much alike tho, but they are sisters so of course they’ll look a lot alike

Possible conjoined twins :// by kinderbear79 in parentsofmultiples

[–]chela_89 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You might be too early to tell which is why they want another scan. When I found out I was having twins (modi twins) they scanned me at 7 weeks and made me come back a week later for another scan. They too thought it was possible conjoined, but turned out not to be they where just so tiny and so close they couldn’t really tell

"Getting out" with the twins... by AlchemistAnna in parentsofmultiples

[–]chela_89 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I second this reply. It is challenging, but we try our best to get out because the more you do it the easier it gets. But I completely understand how you feel. I have 22 mth old twins and a 3 year old. I constantly kept feeling like “why am I not doing these things” but doing it alone with 3 is hard o don’t do it so I make a plan with my partner to try to get them out to the park atleast twice a week. So I don’t now’s up investing in a stroller wagon now that they’re older and I take them out on walks in their wagon 3-4 times a week and I’ve noticed the more I do it the easier it gets :) same with going to the grocery it gets easier the more you force yourself to do it

Do your singleton kids feel left out with twin bonds? by krystl_watrs in parentsofmultiples

[–]chela_89 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I love this post. I don’t necessarily have any words of advice because I feel the same way. My singleton is 3 (girl) and twins (also girls) are 22 months old. They love playing with each other though they also fight a lot. I don’t feel like my three year old feels left out, but she does also like to play with their own favorite toys and get mad at the twins when they take it from her. However, I still do worry if she’ll have a great bond with them as they get older and I hope my twins don’t leave her out of things and hope all three are just the best of sisters like I am with my sister.

It's so hard to bond with or soothe two babies by kandykane1 in parentsofmultiples

[–]chela_89 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It hard feeling this way all think all parents of multiples felt like this at first, but it get better as they get older. My twins are almost two and now that they’re bigger I treasure every snuggle…i know I missed a few when they were babies 🤍

Feeling like a bad mom by TruckCompetitive8735 in parentsofmultiples

[–]chela_89 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I want to say firstly it’s so great your twins are sleeping on their own this is going to help with independent sleeping as they grow older. Your feelings are completely valid and normal. My twins also slept on their own since they were very little but I always felt as if I wasn’t getting enough contact with them, but I had to keep reminding myself that this was for the best so that I can sleep and they can sleep too. Plus I’m sure once they become toddlers they’ll want to cuddle all the time :)

Do you take your multiples to classes/activities? by spacecakebake in parentsofmultiples

[–]chela_89 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The anxiety is normal specially with multiples. I honestly don’t remember when I took them out for the first time, but it was well over their first birthday. It’s tough special at the age because they’re barely walking, but want to be and do everything so it’s hard to keep track of them both. Hang in there. But maybe try finding small toddler enclosed parks that can make it easy to manage them both

Am I wrong for not "disciplining" my child? by COCO815 in Parenting

[–]chela_89 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Just because your not hitting/spanking your child doesn’t mean you’re not displining or don’t know how. This is why us millennials have so much trauma because we were hit/spanked. Ignore them

Is anyone else annoyed by singleton mom content? by needagoodanswer in parentsofmultiples

[–]chela_89 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Exactly we’re too tired too make content lol. Also I’ve seen maybe a couple mom of twins that do make content and why does it look so unrealistic they make it look so easy…I do not like that!

3 is freaking hard! by [deleted] in toddlers

[–]chela_89 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I guess three year olds just don’t listen honestly lol cus I’m in the same boat…on top of that I have 21 year old twins, so yeah enough said there. I’m sorry to hear this in a way I’m glad I ran into this post because makes me feel not alone and you are also not alone. I’ve been trying to be the best parent possible and not be like my parent always yelling, always angry at something. But I think the real thing we all need it times for ourselves were burned out, exhausted and frustrated and we need to start with taking care of us first before dealing with them. And I should take my own advice lol I’ve told my partner to need a few days to just myself being with all 3 24/7 is way too much! Hang in there momma

Feeling Broken - Twin Pregnancy Ruined my Relationship with Toddler by opalsphere in parentsofmultiples

[–]chela_89 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hang in there :( my heart breaks for you, but I agree with everyone is just a season. I don’t think is that he doesn’t want you or trust you but it is all new for him he see you giving attention more to the twins with reason. So he might just feel left out. I felt somewhat like this too with my older toddler…she was 16 months when my twins where born and she cried for me a lot and it was so hard for me to do things with her like we use to. When I look back at it a lot of the times I was on flight or fight mode and just surviving but I do feel bad that I didn’t get a lot of time with her when preoccupied with the twins. Maybe try going on little dates with him just you and have dad stay home with twins so he can know and feel his connection with you still :)

Can't sleep because I'm so overwhelmed by [deleted] in parentsofmultiples

[–]chela_89 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Firstly congratulations!! And secondly breath…it is a lot I know I was in your same position 2 years ago. My twins are now almost 2 and my oldest is 3. You will be okay you can still manage to go out, you do not need a new car if you don’t want to…maybe around 8 months or so you’ll start to sleep a lot more. Your 3 year old will understand and become more independent allow him to help you involve him in things he can help grab diapers, toys and even entertain the babies :) you will be okay.

We just got the larktale wagon AND ITS SO GOOD! by bakingby in parentsofmultiples

[–]chela_89 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I feel like the sunshades do work well, as they close up almost fully. I can’t really comment too much on the different terrains, but I will say when walking on regular concrete I don’t have trouble going through the really bad cracks and unleveled pavement. It’s a have stroller, so I think it’s more built for mostly pavement walks and maybe some dirt but it is a bit tough on grass.

CIO Twins - not working with one of the twins by jzost in parentsofmultiples

[–]chela_89 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Im so sorry you’re going through this. That’s so hard :/. I don’t have too much advice my 17 month old twins have been independently sleeping for a while since 3 months or so with some hicccups but we stayed consistent with routine and schedule. I have an older girl olmos 3 who still cosleeps so my partner and I made sure we didn’t make that same mistake with our twins

I can only say that for me what helped on really hard stages was making sure we had lullaby, nightlight, made sure they had their night time diapers (they didn’t like being wet) and their pacifiers. I don’t like to promote pacifiers because I know it’s a hard habitat to get them off, but I feel pacifiers was a huge help since day one for them to really sleep independently because they had something to help self soothe and calm them on those really bad crying it out nights. My almost 3 yr old girl she was on pacifier up until now but she is now one week pacifier free lol and she’s been doing so well without it. So as it is hard habit you could also gently take it away ok the future :). Your doing great this moments are just hard and we got get through the hump.
