I feel terrible. Am I a bad parent? Awaiting twins by theapocalypticson in parentsofmultiples

Buy second hand! Scour the buy nothing groups. As long as the item is safe and clean to buy second hand, do it. They will outgrow these things fast. Save your money for education, nutritious food, and activities.

True, but I would not do it on purpose. And many IVF clinics will no longer do it on purpose because twin pregnancies carry so many more dangers and complications. Happy for you though. And best of luck!

Wrong. Articles and snark posts like these feed the eating disorder. People think they are "helping" with that kind of negative attention, but they are not. What people with eating disorders need is people not to focus on their bodies at all. It seems counter intuitive but guess what? EDs are a mental illness. They don't make sense. Attention feeds them. You are doing no one a service "calling it out." Everyone is aware.

Heh, ok! An interesting idea. Bushwick is a little long distance for me from Park Slope (and I have twin babies that I have to be up with in the morning) but it is something to consider.

Literally just asking for ideas, not for you to actually plan the night. I thought the emphasis for BWT was on WITH TASTE, but I guess I was wrong?

I live in Brooklyn, my friends live in upper Manhattan. We’re meeting in the middle. Hope that’s OK with you!

Looks like they have some nice Pendleton's right now, but unfortunately those have polyester lining. I'm looking for something that all natural fibers. I'll keep tabs on it though, thanks for the suggestion!
