Lone Mum of twins

[Caddiejolie]

Hello,

I'm a lone mum of twin girls
I just've separated from their father 3 month ago and we moved out to another city.
Since then my daughters have been unbearable. They never let me breathe.
I don't know what to do?

how old are they ?
they ar e not doing it on purpose
talk to your gp
ask for support and help

if you anxious call samaritans and talk it thru

their are 3. I don't know if they do it on purpose. one of my daughter is doing everything to get the attention and the other is too excited.

Do they go to nursery - you should be able to get 15 hours free nursery for each of them, which might give you a bit of a breather. And try to get out with other parents - 3 or 4 kids between two of you is always easier than 2 on your own. Toddler groups are good to meet people at.

speak to health visitor ask about sure start groups or childrens centres which are running near you to get support and help .
ask abou parneting courses - not because you doin anthing wrong bu will be chance to talk to other parents.contact twins groups tamba etc for local befriendr supporter

Just wanted to say it does get easier - do you get to playgroups/nursery. I know it's hard and sometimes seems too much of an effort - been there and got the t-shirt. They start school next year and then it does get a bit better.

Do you have family nearby who can help? I do remember when mine (now 7) were crawling and would follow me everywhere and I sometimes thought I would never get a minute to myself.

Am not feeling too great myself atm but when feeling better, will try and see if I can remember anything else that helped me in those early days.

i have twins and found them an real handful at 3yrs old and i was married then so not on my own

i really feel for you

as somebody said get them in nursery,i think their age and obviously a big change is really taking its toll on you

go to your health visitor its a start and hopefully she will be able to give you info on local groups etc

all the best

Hi CaddieJolie,

I'm a single mum of 3 yr old twins - have been since they were born.

It is difficult & sympathise with you but best advise I can give you is - get really organised! The more organised you are the night before the next day, the better & the more time you can dedicate to them. Its worth the extra effort.

And you'll soon realise what a blessing it is to have the 2 of them.

Don't hesitate to ask me anything - been there!
