I have b/g twins who are approaching 2 years of age. Up until about 18 months I actually found this whole twins lark doable. I (we?!) had got them into a schedule/routine, they drank/ate well, crawled, started to walk. You get the picture. Things were manageable and dare I say it, even fun.
Now - not so much. Both are obviously independent walkers, so I find my self chasing my tail on a daily basis when we are out, trying to 'contain' them. They won't stay in their pram (have found a way to push up on the seat and lift legs out of harness (we have the Mountain Buggy Duet). They (in particular my son, not really my daughter) spend the majority of the day screaming/hitting each other/hitting other children/crying/throwing food/doing anything and everything I tell them not to/having meltdowns.
So my point is - what advice do you have to get me through these times? How can I even go out if its not literally driving somewhere, parking outside and taking them in to a place? Is this just terrible twos? What techniques worked for you to curb hitting/screaming etc? By what age does this all get better? Can your twins escape their pram? I need comforting words, go gently on me x
