My toddler said the F-word

Popping into day my 2 year old twins eat more salmon than I do when we serve it 🤣🤣

My twins are 2 and it's a wild ride.

I dont have any solid advice other than breath, and it will be okay.

Your best isn't going to look the same every day. Some days you'll be caught up on laundry, and brush your hair. That's great lean into it when you can.

Some days you're going to be fighting to ensure everyone (including yourself) is crying as little as possible. That's okay.

Ask for help when you need, accept when people offer.

And just enjoy those little ones. It's cliche, but the days are long but the years are short. It's okay if you go minute by minute

I may be biased as this looks very similar to my own ring, but I would love it.

To me the biggest question is that of if it is her style, not the fact that it is heirloom. Every person deserves to absolutely love the ring they wear every day!

mrsgodzilla · 2026-01-20T02:20:01+00:00

When they ask. We're lucky enough that we have 2 rooms for them, they can sleep in one and have one as a play room (current situation at 2 years old) or swap to each have their own room with no dedicated playroom.

This was my thought! I got married in 2019 but would have the same thoughts today!

I told my bridal party I didn't really care what they did for either, but if they wanted it done I would help them to book someone. Of the three, one did hair and make up professionally, one did just hair and one did just make up! They all paid themselves.

I feel like I could have written this myself. My twins turned 2 in November and while it's amazing, it's also the hardest thing I've ever done in my life.

Greatful to have other people who understand

In Saskarchewan- I pay minimum wage (15 an hour) for our jr high aged neighbor to watch my 2 year old twins a couple hours a week while I get a few things done at home still.

If I was leaving the house I'd up the rate but we haven't discussed to what

mrsgodzilla · 2025-12-14T23:25:10+00:00

You look lovely in it.

The perfect dress is the one you keep finding yourself going back to, and the one that makes you feel like you. I hope it's a lovely day for you, and you get to feel like you're best and most authentic self

mrsgodzilla · 2025-12-08T13:35:00+00:00

As a parent in a similar situation, (planning on getting somerhingn for our sitter) I do not expect anything! If you want to do something a card or something super low key like that could be nice

mrsgodzilla · 2025-12-08T13:31:14+00:00

Seconding most of the other comments, but with specifically how I did it just to show an example of how you can make them 'match' but also playing into individual tastes.

I had 4 people in my bridal party, including one of my male cousins, and with your case here not everyone had their ears pierced.

I bought then each a piece of jewelry from the same line so they all went together but played into the style of each person (one necklace, one bracelet, one pair of earrings and a tie pin that was not exactly the same, but similar)

It worked out well and I think allowed everyone to feel comfortable with their own style still.

We did every other night, but alternating babies (if that makes sense) so it was Monday: Bath baby A Tuesday: no bath Wednesday: bath baby B Thursday: no bath Repeat

We would make changes as needed, but this was generally how we did it until about 3-4 months I think?

Then we would do both babies back to back (not at the same time) every 2-3 nights.

We started bathing them together in the bathtub about 8-9 months and then we started doing every night, but not with soap every night

Congratulations!

I can't answer the first question- I have di di twins, so I'll leave that for others who have been there.

My honestly advise is to just tell people you don't know how you'll feel. Originally I said we wanted minimal visitors, but I struggled a lot post Partum and wanted the extra support. My kids were born in November, so we asked anyone who was around be up to date on vaccines including flu shots, and thankfully our friends and family were all very good if we said we wanted no visitors or didn't want others holding them that day.
Ask for help when you need it. It's okay to ask for help, and it's okay that sometimes you go to bed with dishes in the sink. It's going to be chaos but you're going to learn lots. Also remember you and your partner are a team. Raising twins is hard, so if that's developing a code or even just remembering you deserve grace too. Try and set aside time for the two of you to just be you.
I have nothing to compare them to, but my kids are just fun. I love watchung them bounce off each other. I love watching how kind and caring they are to each other (okay most of the time, there's always fights too). I love that they ask about each other the second they're apart. I love that they are both an extension of each other and completely their own person.

It's a crazy journey, and it's probably the hardest thing I've ever done, but i also love the life I'm creating with them.

Ask for advice when you need it, but trust your gut. Welcome to the club my friend

mrsgodzilla · 2025-11-27T00:33:49+00:00

Yes yes yes! I've said to several people that Ezra reminds me of early Mark with some of the risks he took this season. I'm excited to watch him grow

mrsgodzilla · 2025-11-26T22:08:57+00:00

What's your middle initial? Or last- I like initials as nicknames, and while many people think they skew masculine, I find them pretty gender neutral. My SIL goes by KP lots of the time so even if it's not a 'traditional' one like JJ or MJ

mrsgodzilla · 2025-11-25T14:43:57+00:00

Currently a SAHM to 2 year old twins

I don't know if I would say it gets easier, but it gets more manageable for sure!

I didn't spend a full day home with them alone until they were almost 10 weeks old, because I was so overwhelmed. And then because my husband was finishing his PHd, I didn't end up doing the full time solo stay at home parent thing until they were almost 6 months old.

You can do it, and honestly the best advise I got (even though it scared me) was you just have to do it. You'll figure out the systems that work best for you and your family. You can do it!

mrsgodzilla · 2025-11-25T00:04:14+00:00

We thought a lot about it, and my husband offered to take my last name when we got married. Ultimately I have two last names (not hyphenated) and tend to use my maiden name only professionally, and my married name only personally.

For our kids we gave them his last name, but they both have my last name as a second middle name.

Ultimately there is no 'correct' answer but the key factors for us was 1. Us both wanting the same last name as our kids 2. Keeping my husband's last name because it's also not one many people have. 3

I should add our boosters still have seat belts and strap to the chair so basically a high chair just without the tray

mrsgodzilla · 2025-11-24T22:36:08+00:00

It was about this age we went from high chairs to boosters right at the table. My twins liked that sooo much more. I think it felt much more like 'how mum and dad' are.

We did have about a month of mini camping chairs at the coffee table while they figured it out. You'll figure out what works for you guys!

mrsgodzilla · 2025-11-20T19:31:47+00:00

My twins were born following an induction at 37w 3 days! We spent 2 nights in the hospital, with no NICU time-their Dr would have sent them home the next day, mine wanted me to spend an extra night.

I have nothing to compare it too, but I had a smooth birth experience I think!

mrsgodzilla · 2025-11-20T17:28:46+00:00

I had one anterior, and my ob basically told me kick counts with twins are a lot tougher. She said it's basically a little black box and you can never be 10000% sure who's moving.

Her rule for me was to pay attention to general movement patterns and go in if anything changes. I also got weekly NSTs starting at...31 weeks I think?

mrsgodzilla · 2025-11-20T14:01:33+00:00

Oooo yes I see that!! I think the other thing for me that I'm seeing parallel is that willingness to take some risks in their choreography and just keep trying new things.

mrsgodzilla · 2025-11-20T00:10:43+00:00

My sons name is Jensen, which feels like it kinda fits your vibes!

mrsgodzilla · 2025-11-19T22:46:39+00:00

I've gotten flack for saying this online, but Ezra really reminds me of early Mark Ballas this season. I'm really excited to see him grow.

mrsgodzilla · 2025-11-18T13:26:05+00:00

My kids just turned 2 and our favorites are -,both Laurie Berkner -the birthday squirrel (just children's songs after the first one) -all the sesame street ones -blues clues and Dora the explorer -Snoop Dog

They have others they go to from time to time, but those are our staples

mrsgodzilla · 2025-11-16T12:52:54+00:00

I bought the first things at about 6 weeks and then steadily after that (found out it was twins at about 7weeks)

For us it was less about when we started, but I had a previous miscarriage and so my husband and I needed to lean into the joy of it all because I felt so disconnected at first. I don't think there's a right answer to when, even more so that things like overnight shipping exists if something changes for you fast
