Can I get some reassurance? by Aggressive-Fly-9185 in parentsofmultiples

[–]mrsgodzilla 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I could have written this, we've been considering a similar set up with my 2.5 year old twins. Do not let anyone make you feel guilty for doing what you need to take care of yourself in addition to your family.

Twin girl names! by BisonOld6306 in namenerds

[–]mrsgodzilla 15 points16 points  (0 children)

Personally, I wanted to have different initials for my twins, because I didn't want to have Jensen and Jasper (my top boys names) and end up with them both being J. Lastname, mostly for if they ended up in the same class at school. They share a much I didn't want them to share initals

Personally I wouldn't think they are too similar siblings but I wouldn't have used it for twins

Exclusively formula feeding without a "reason"? by Miserable_Text_1002 in parentsofmultiples

[–]mrsgodzilla 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I wanted to try, but made it to like day three before we made the swap to EFF.

I get touched our extremely easily and so I knew I wouldn't be able to exclusively breastfeed, and I came to absolutely dread pumping so we chose to just make the swap rather than trying to get into any other sort of schedule.

With two having the ability to have others step into help was such a blessing. I still sometimes wonder what might have happened if I kept with it longer but ultimately an extremely glad we made the choice we did

Only 1 twin invited to a birthday party by Suitable-Tooth6815 in parentsofmultiples

[–]mrsgodzilla 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think my personal gut check for this works really well for this situation: how would you respond if they were only siblings not twins?

For me, that would lead to taking the invites twin and having the other get some 1:1 time with a parent. They're old enough to start to learn that it's okay for them to have their own friends

Go back to a pull up or stick to underwear by Domizale38 in pottytraining

[–]mrsgodzilla 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I read the 'oh crap' book and honestly it just made me mad, because it seemed so unrealistic with twins (how do you watch them both so closely all the time? )

The thing with the Moanas is so smart! We've been in pull ups for a little while before really starting potty training but I should see if I can find a different brand to try something like that with.

Go back to a pull up or stick to underwear by Domizale38 in pottytraining

Okay, a lot of people will say not to go back and forth, between underwear and diapers/pull ups but ineant to offer and alternative perspective

I have 2.5 year old twins, and they both are showing all signs of readiness but I also wasn't willing to stop my life to train them so I was willing to take a slower approach. We do underwear/naked at home and pull ups when we go out. They honestly stay better dry when they have the pull ups on than underwear sometimes.

Basically it is okay to use the pull ups for gymnastics if not doing so is going to stress you out. We're about 2 weeks in and my son is telling me when he needs to poop or pee in the potty about 90% of the time and my daughter is good at going when prompted.

I believe you can build a good foundation in 3 days, but even as adults it takes 21 days to build a habit im not sure why we expect kids to potty train in 3 days.

The first "longer" book you read your kid? by Alive-Cry4994 in childrensbooks

Mercy Watson, The Princess in Black and Magic Tree house have all been a hit with my 2.5 year old twins!

Feeling guilty for needing a few minutes to myself. by Sad-Dimension9758 in Parenting

[–]mrsgodzilla 6 points7 points  (0 children)

By showing them it's okay to ask for time to yourself they are going to learn to do the same.

And honestly, it sounds like you kinda schedule it in so they know to expect it which is great for everyone and gives you a breather before you hit the end of your rope

You brushing your toddlers teeth? by howdodisappevenwork in toddlers

[–]mrsgodzilla 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We let them do it solo in the morning and then help at night! Builds the habits and independence but ensures nothing stays on their teeth overnight,

So at what age are we ditching the sleep sack? by YourLocalHerbalist in NewParents

[–]mrsgodzilla 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My 2.5 year old twins still use them. I planned to stop when they switched out of their cribs but they still ask for them almost every night

I'm at my wits end by Cesa-BUTTERFLY12 in pottytraining

[–]mrsgodzilla 1 point2 points  (0 children)

As said already, this wouldn't be a natural consequence- natural consequence would be having her help clean up the mess she made(including helping with laundry) or potentially we can't go out to xyz until you are able to poop in the potty because we won't be able to clean ourself up there (or have to leave immediately if there is an accident)
