Is anyone else fed up?

[Albaba]

Hi there. I am mum to 6 month old twin girls and was wondering if anyone else is feeling fed up by the monotonmy of everything. The girls have had their problems but seem to have come out the other end. They are generally good and sleep well. I just seem to be on the go constantly from when I get up in the morning to when I collapse in to bed at night and then get up the next day and have to do everything again. No matter how much I do house is never tidy. Husband works long hours and is gone from early in the morning to late at night. He is good when he is here but the vast majority of childcare and housework falls to me. Mum comes once a week to help. One sibling that I have got has been zero help whatsoever. I do go to a baby activity class and Mother's and baby class while it is good to talk to other Mother's sometime I feel like a bit of a novelty coming with two babies when everyone else has just one. I have double what they have to do. Sorry for the moan. Loaded with the cold and just feeling a bit sorry for myself today.

You've just reminded me exactly how I felt when my twin girls were about six months. It will get easier I promise.

Hi Albaba - moan away it's good for the soul. The first year with twins is pretty mad and it is bloody hard when your ill, I know how you feel but like sandyballs says it gets easier.

Have you and your oh been out without your dc's yet ? Do you think your Mum would babysit one evening so you can go out ?
There are no twin clubs where I live but I talk to alot of twin mums on facebook and it's lovely to speak to people who understand. Tamaba also have a facebook page and forum but you need to be a member to use the forum.

Try not to worry about the housework it really does get easier to do as they get older and a bit of dust and clutter wont hurt anyone.
Hope your cold is better soon.
