(Have just posted this over on the multiples thread but wanted to bump it on here as well)

i have 18 mo twin boys who are driving me insane at the mo, they seem to be at a really tough stage. Here's a little list of what i am dealing with!! :

fighting, snatching toys, pushing, wrestling, biting, wailing when i leave the room, bad seperation anxiety from one (the other is not too bad), v. bad jealousy between them, into everything, climbing everywhere, clingy, whining, grizzly. Laughing when i say 'no' and doing whatever they were doing all the more. Major tantrums when trying to get them into the car, buggy, highchairs, Endless cycle of colds and bugs to deal with this winter and one is teething at the mo too. Bedtimes very difficult, taking ages to get them down, i could go on and on.

I feel like i am drowning some days. Doesn't help that it is winter, am really holding out a lot of hope that i will soon turn a corner with them this spring and summer.

Would appreciate a few positive happy stories of how things will magically change as they approach 2! :)

Things don't magically change, but it definitely gets easier as they get older.

Hang on in there!!

Ah, must be really hard work with twins!

Yes, it does get easier, but then it gets harder again when toddlerdom really hits- maybe they are hitting it early and will be deilightful 2 and 3 year olds (!!).

Do you get them outside?- I know it's hard in this weather but I find it can really relieve the tension, some outdoor space to run in Smile.
