I have two lovely daughters. Each with a new baby. There are times when both have phoned me to ask for help. Been in tears driving down either road, wishing I could be in two places at once.

Does anyone else get this? How do you manage?

that must be hard for you. i think as long as you try to balance your time out between them as much as you can then you have nothing to feel bad about. your daughters are adults and will understand that they cant each demand your full attention. how old are the babies?

One is 4 weeks and one is 4 months. When older one was just new, the other mum was having problems in pregnancy. Both girls are good sisters to one another and have been a great help to one another.

Pressed send instead of review.

..but sometimes they still need a mum. My gran used to say you never really stop being a mum. Even when the kids are grown. :)

you never ever stop being a mum! I am sure you will manage to prioritise which baby needs grandma most and your daughters will love you for that Smile I am sure!
