To totally understand why this woman of triplets did this?

[WhiteTrash]

Im totally prepared for freak outs and be told IABU to empathise with this woman. A friend has twin 3 year olds, she goes to group meets with other mums of twins and triplets. One of the women had triplets (now 3), when they were 4 months old her husband left her. Come night time she'd struggle with only having one pair of hands so used to wash, dress and feed the babies, stick them in their cot put on her trainers and go for an hours run. By the time she came home they'd be asleep.

My initiak thought was oh my God! But actually, being a mum of a baby (and child) myself with my partner present I know how hard it is. Let alone three babies with no help (at least, not every night I know parents of multiples can inlist some help but I dont know the ins and outs if that).

So AIBU to totallu understand why she did this?

Also the level of care required for a 12 yo is slightly different than that needed for 3 babies. A 12 yo can, to an extent, take care of themselves.

That's neglectful IMO. You can't leave babies alone, no matter what state you are in.

She should do an exercise video, get a running machine or do other exercise in the house while the babies are asleep.
