If you are a parent of twins you must have thought about this question! A lot of twin parents say that things never get easier with twins, they only become different. Is that true?;
From my own experience I can say - things DO get easier with twins. With every new milestone that kids achieve, they become more manageable. Sharing here some milestones, that brought a lot; changes in my life and made it much easier with twins -;
1.When they started semi solids (6-12 months) and I could sleep straight 8 hours in the night.;
2. When they started communicating (18-24 months) and even simple words like ‘yes’ and ‘no’ made so much difference.;
3. When they started taking one nap a day (18-24 months) and we could spend more time outdoors.;
4. When they began schooling and I could get those two hours of me-time.;
5. When they started eating on their own and we no longer had to chase two kids (with a plate in hand) running in different directions.;
I won’t deny with every new milestone new challenges arrive too, but hey as parents don’t we get routinized and habitual? As kids grow, we parents too learn the art of handling two together and also a few tricks that work for us. Don’t we?
So if you are a parent of twins pondering upon this question, I would say - 'Just hang in there. Things will surely change and become easier'!;
