At my breaking point - twins

101 replies

I'm 29 with 2 month old twin boys, born end of October. DH works long hours in the city, leaves around 7.30 and doesn't get in until 6.30/7 in the evening. He also travels a lot. I'm from Australia so all my family are back there and DH's family are all in Denmark apart from his brother who has his own family.

They wake constantly throughout the night so me and DH are both not sleeping as we have one each. During the day they constantly want to be held which just isn't possible as I can only have one in the sling at a time. I barely leave the house, I can't get anything done so the house is a mess. Because I can't get them to stop crying, I'm crying. I've tried going on walks but they both hate the pram and so just scream all day. I don't get any time to myself.

As soon as they're in DH arms however they're angel babies, no crying. I feel like there's something wrong with me then. The only thing getting me through is the fact my DH has booked me a spa day next weekend, but then I feel guilty for leaving them.

Please tell me it gets better, I'm literally at my breaking point.
