@ilikechocolateandstuff Oh I got this a lot as a kid. I went from an only child to the eldest of three in under a year. Mum had one kid, 2 months later my stepmum had the other. Any time we had a family tree project we had to list our siblings in age order and then I would have to explain no...

@lourde One of my favourite parts was during pregnancy, watching people ask when I'm due and then the horror on their face when I said months and not weeks remaining. My other favourites from pregnancy were security guards following me through stores in case I went into labour (I was huffing...

@dennyissmith I didn't use soap until my kids turned 1. Baths were once a week, they weren't getting dirty, and we had hot water issues because our landlord wouldn't fix the water heater. I found a large issue was that EVERYTHING baby contains aloe (even "fragrance free" products), which is a...

@schawinga I had bald little egg children until they were about 2yo. Around 18m I had my daughter in this cute little blue sundress and some stranger comes up and says I'm cruel for putting my "son" in a dress just because I wanted a girl. When I said "well no, they're girl/boy fraternal twins...

@phoenix267 "Are they natural" "no, my husband is a robotics engineer".

@katrina2017 That's weird, normally kids grow out of being "identical" (due to environmental factors).

@confusedchris Oh for me it's "one has long hair and a penis". My daughter has a pixie cut and my son's hair is halfway down his back.

@mikentexas I cloth diapered my twins from the day we got home from the hospital until they toilet trained. My friends talking about going to the store just for diapers was enough for me to feel secure in my choice. Running a load of laundry will always be easier than loading two babies up to go...

@littlemelittleu2 CONGRATULATIONS! Look at all that hair!

@rodneyc210 My husband made a joke about taking a maternity photo with me in a bathtub full of dipes. I told him there were two problems with that, one that all my dipes fit in the drawers of the change table and two that would mean I'd have to get my giant belly into the bathtub!

@rodneyc210 Oh my gosh, can I borrow your stash? I need to take a picture of myself rolling in dipes and my stash is too small still.

@doodlum1 "Well the doctor says it was a hormonal surge after my miscarriage, but I think it's because we fucked twice in one day."

@theologypoet Nursing tanks are a life saver. I wear them at night, on lazy bra-free days, and for the first 3 weeks PP (until I could afford to go bra shopping). Other than three pretty tops I've been back in normal shirts since about 4 months PP. I just wear a tank under a tshirt, pull the...

@euxene I had good results with raspberry leaf tea as a teen (at least it was more effective than the obscene amount of ibuprofen I was taking). Yoga also helped. Edit: I should also add the obvious, at least try to seek medical help if it's debilitating. I found my periods are much better...

@dobsonsdogs I'm on kid number 3 in cloth diapers, I've always used cloth wipes as well, I bought about 200 cheap face cloths when my twins were born. Yesterday I was at the shops and bub pooped a monster poop. I realised I had an emergency diaper in the car but no wipes, so grabbed a pack of...

@eishtmo There are a lot of causes for bleeding in the first trimester that can be mistaken for a period or miscarriage. Definitely check in with your doctor. I had unexplained bleeding my whole first trimester. No haematoma, no loss. Best answer they could give me was "idk. Maybe because...

@rhandi My kids have names that sound good together but have absolutely nothing in common. Every time I make appointments somewhere new for them I use the additional comments section on the booking form to say "twin sibling to [other twin name], please do not cancel additional appointment". I...

@brithulhu To be fair, it's Bluey.

@coas93 Hey Penny is bananas since she closed down, I have 5 of hers and I could probably sell them for more than my entire Designer Bum stash is worth.

@facundo Wooden train tracks. My 7 year olds lose interest in Hotwheels tracks within a week of receiving them, but the old wooden train tracks always come back out. And they're still in good condition, so the baby can play with them next year.
