How do you all handle your kids constantly arguing with you and or telling you that you are wrong? My wife and I like to think we are pretty good, engaged parents. My wife stays home. Our kids are very polite and listen well in public. At home, it’s constant arguing and defiance. Also, our...

I am 9w5d pregnant with twins and have been experiencing debilitating nausea, fatigue and dizziness since 6 wks. I vomit daily but the amount of vomiting has gone down since taking Zofran, although I still feel nauseous all. the. time. I’m also taking unisom with b6 at night but I’m not...

When I was pregnant with twins and then trying to get through the newborn phase it felt like all I heard were the troubles coming my way with toddlers. Or maybe that’s all that stuck out in my mind? But my b/g twins are almost 2 1/2 and I love this stage so much. Here are some of my favorite...

Unpredictability is the name of the game. I feel like we read all the guides, schedules, lists, and recommendations and somehow the babies let us know that they're in control. Seven months and change with our babies and they are definitely keeping us busy. Our whole family had our first Covid...

Hi all, FTM of 7-wo b/g twins currently on survival mode! Since the beginning of my pregnancy I’ve seen many posts here recommending to keep the babies on the same schedule (feedings, naps etc). So far we haven’t managed to pull that off due to the simple fact that we can’t figure out how to...

My MIL wants to go on a trip to Italy this summer with twin boys who will be almost 2 years old. She wants to go for her birthday and I really don’t want to go. All I picture is that 9 hour flight with twin two year olds and it makes my stomach turn. We went to Miami which was a two hour flight...

Hi all! I've got one week old girls, and they're brilliant, but I cannot work out how to move them around e.g. from the house to the car, or from upstairs to downstairs. Obviously I have a pram etc, and places to put them inside (sleep nests) but surely there's a better way than taking one...

Stay at home mom of twins and literally feel like I’m 95 years old! Anyone else feel so exhausted and sore every day?! I have had multiple test done to make sure there is no autoimmune diseases because I am so stiff with painful joints in the morning!!

A quick background before some questions: I've been married 8 years to my amazing wife. We had infertility issues and got treatment. The first treatment worked PERFECTLY and we had 1 healthy daughter. When she was 14 months old, we started round two with a slim change of twins and almost no...

This is my first pregnancy and I’m really struggling mentally with the thought of twins. First scan there were two sacs but only one heartbeat, second scan reported two healthy heartbeats. I find myself upset and sad because when I dreamed of having a baby, I dreamed of doing them one at a time...

Just had my 8-week ultrasound and we’re having di/di twins! Both have strong heartbeats (169 and 153) and measuring 8+1 and 7+6. It feels real now! I’m constantly hungry, tired, and nauseous. Buckling up for the ride!

Gifted testing has placed our daughter into a different school for grades 3-5 (in grade 2 now) where the teachers/curriculum are tailored to make sure she gets the most out of school. Ultimately, we are thrilled for her and understand this is great. But all the emotional items come into play...

We have finally plucked up the courage to book a foreign holiday with our 28 month old (f) twins. Not a long flight, UK Heathrow (T5) to Greece (Thessaloniki). Thankfully due to an abundance of air miles we’ve booked BA Club Europe (short haul, business class), so we’ve got a whole row of 6...

I’ve been feeling so torn between what I want for their birth. If I were having a singleton- it wouldn’t be such a hard decision for me (personally) because I would choose a vaginal birth no questions asked. BUT that being said, I have two babies in me and these are my first babies. I’m...

Hello! First time poster, first time overwhelmed adopted dad to twin boys 11 weeks (5 weeks adjusted). My husband and I were given the go ahead from the pediatrician to let the boys wake us up at night for feeds and stop the regimented “every three hours.” This results in one usually going...

Recently found this planner/organizer that's specifically designed for parents. It's helped us with communication on childcare between 2 boys and a whole bunch of other tabs always open. Anyone else used Maple?

So im asking those of you who have ur twins/multiplets sleeping in the same room. Ive seen lots of post of the kids climbing into eachothers beds not letting the other sleep etc... shall i push with the cribs as long as i can (as long as its safe for them)? They are 15 months soon and nowhere...

Twin A is 2.2Kg i.e 4.85 lbs and Twin B is at 1.58kg i.e. 3.48 lbs. Anyone had similar stats? Should we be worried? We are planning c section at 37 wks 0 days.

my biggest pet peeve is when i’m out and about with my twins (didi boys, 3 mo) and strangers say “oh my goodness! i wish i had twins. you’re so blessed.” do not get me wrong, i am very happy with my life now. but when my boys were first born, that first month i legitimately thought i ruined...

Hi all. we're about to go on a month long international trip with our 3 y.o. twins, and will need to have a lightweight-ish stroller since the place we're going is very walking heavy. The thing is our kids are massive. They've always been on the tall/hefty side and weight about 40 lbs each...
