When both toddlers want to sit on your lap you make room #twinmomproblems #boys #sharingiscaring

We've all heard it when we were pregnant right? Whether it was from family, friends, or even complete strangers. And lets face it, we will NEVER take that advice and use it. We spend those very small moments of each baby napping to do what people without kids take advantage of. Normal human behavior that is now a complete luxury for us. Still not sure what I mean? Take a look below & feel free to nod your head if you do agree. · Bathroom breaks Yes bathroom breaks. I enjoy my free moments of being able to sit on the toilet and take my time, and I'm not ashamed of it. ·Cleaning If one of your twins is like mine, you can't be out of their sight. She hates when I'm not visible, I can't throw out diapers in the bathroom( which is right across from our room ) without a small cry for me to come back. So I use whatever nap time to get that done on cleaning day. ·Eat You think that if I can't pee, that I can sit down and enjoy a meal? Wrong! There would be days when they were a few months old that I only ate breakfast because their dad was at school & work, so I had no one around to help so I could eat. ·Netflix Binge I'll admit that as a Stay At Home Mom (will now refer to as SAHM) there are dozens of things I binge watch on Netflix and cable. I even watch when they're awake, Akela's favorite is FRIENDS. But it is extremely hard to watch and play at the same time, so I also use this time to watch as much as I can in peace. And last but not least... ·SHOWER Yup, I said it. SHOWER. There are days I don't even get to take one because I'm so tired. But the days I do, I use bedtime to shower. That's the only time I know for sure that I can take my time to relax and unwind right before my nightly TV shows. Think I missed any? Let me know!

My Boyfriend and I are young parents. So when we found out I was pregnant it was obvious that we'd live together, he was constantly looking for apartments, and then we found out I was pregnant with twins. So living on our own was out of the question, and it was decided that I'd move in with him & his family. I knew what I was getting myself into because he always complained about how annoyed he would get with his parents, but I NEVER thought it was as bad as it can be. His step-mom constantly hovers. She has these babies spoiled rotten at the age of 6, almost 7 months. Whenever she hears them cry she walks into their room and grabs them without consulting us, their parents. It's so bad now that they no longer put themselves to sleep at night like they used to. I've made 7-8 pm their bedtime since they were a month old, and they could just calmly lay there til they fell asleep. And now they can't lay there anymore. So now that she is away in Mexico for a few weeks I am trying to get them back on track. Which means breaking all of our hearts, and letting them cry it out. Wish us luck.
