@onlyonetruth Gentle correction… r/twins is more for twins to talk about being a twin. r/parentsofmultiples will be a better fit :)

@yoursweetestmemory This is well-meaning but dangerous advice. It’s easy to be a little lost in your own music and not hear another car horn. It’s also straight up illegal in some areas (California, Ohio, and Maryland, among other US states) to wear headphones while driving, so take this with a...

@texan2 I think the verdict from these threads is that every family is different and the answer wildly depends on who you ask. Top several comments all have a different number answer!

@raine93 Where are you flying from/to? Most medium-large airports in North America have rentable carts (for a few dollars) at baggage claim for the exact purpose of loading up luggage when you have a bunch of bags you need to transport to your rental car or taxi.

@catlover88 I’m so looking forward to this when my baby is older! You’re a great friend.
