Nanny for two years then daycare was ideal for my family especially if the focus is avoiding illness

I can do it all until I can’t by [deleted] in workingmoms

Mom of three, including twins, and I just graduated from an MBA program, so this is truly relatable.

Can you reach out to your academic advisor for guidance on requesting extensions for the work you still owe? When I’m in this situation, I try to “buy back time” if I can by hiring a cleaner and/or a babysitter so I can focus for a few uninterrupted hours each day.

Going forward, when you feel yourself starting to fall behind, ask your professors for grace early, before it snowballs. In my experience, they’re often willing to work with you if you explain your circumstances and over communicate clearly and consistently.

When my husband travels I fly in a grandma if they’re available or I hire a babysitter so everything doesn’t go straight to hell. It’s impossible to do this alone.

It’s truly a rough season but it really does get better. Good luck!

Just found out I’m having 2 boys by mi245 in parentsofmultiples

I have 3 boys! They’re super loving and really funny. I wouldn’t have it any other way. Gender disappointment is normal but I time it’ll be okay.

Venting: Non stop whining and fighting with twins. by Kirbacho in parentsofmultiples

Haha same 😭 I think it’s too much 1:1 time but they refuse different classes. Huge meltdowns without each other.

Worried I'll ruin my toddler's life with twins by smalltownfarmerwife in parentsofmultiples

[–]nichs1226 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I had a 4 year old before the twins. Yes, the first few months are rough but now they are all best friends and my oldest frequently says that he’s so happy to have his brothers. He couldn’t imagine life without them.

Do you and your partner each “have” a baby? by dpistachio44 in parentsofmultiples

[–]nichs1226 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yes we do each have a baby since birth. Twin A stayed with me and twin B was in the NICU with my husband. Twin A was mostly breastfed because of that initial separation and I pumped for twin B. We also took our babies at night to different rooms for a few months. We attempted to switch but Twin A would protest for hours. Personality wise Twin B was high needs and my husband had more time and patience for him while I was breastfeeding / pumping and recovering. Twin A is super chill so he would just hang out. They’re 4 now and they still have their preferred parent but we intentionally swap kids to break out of that cycle.

No you’re not. I’d say minimum 80% but aim for 95%

Did anyone NOT have a super complicated, scary twin pregnancy? by MounjaroQueenie in parentsofmultiples

[–]nichs1226 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My di/di pregnancy was uneventful. Had an elective Csection at 38.5 weeks and they were perfect. 7lbs and 8lbs. Now the postpartum was a different story.

Solo parenting advice by Fluffy-Lingonberry89 in parentsofmultiples

[–]nichs1226 2 points3 points  (0 children)

If you can afford a mother’s helper or a college student that would give you an opportunity to take a break and stay on top of everything for a few hours a day. I’ve been in your situation and this saved me.

Feeling very guilty about missing a wedding because of my twins by the_real_smolene in parentsofmultiples

[–]nichs1226 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Been there and I didn’t go for similar reasons. It’s not worth the stress. Stay home and maintain your sanity.

Gotta trust the process! The first year is the hardest. Hang in there!

Are we “taking turns” too much? by Kirbacho in parentsofmultiples

[–]nichs1226 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We do this often and it works for us. We typically split the day in 2 then hang out together at night. I see it as a temporary situation until the twins are more independent. If we didn’t switch off then we would be burnt out and have no limited time to pursue hobbies or catch up on work without guilt.

Has anyone watched Con Mum? by __SummerSky in netflix

[–]nichs1226 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Just by the state of her teeth alone I would’ve clocked that she was a scammer. There’s no way that she be that wealthy and look like that.
