Aaarrgghh want to shout 21 month old twins help!

[jen80]

Was feeling pleased with myself. Got myself And 3 kids up and dressed and ds1 to preschool and went off to soft play with 21 month old twin boys.
Boys enjoy walking around the tables eyeing up other peoples stuff....I field them away and encourage onto play equipment and play with them.... While with one the other steals a fruit shoot. I would replace but can t find the owner....
I do not sit and drink coffee I always spent whole time walking around after the boys.
Get home and tell husband about it, joking the boys are a handful....
Next get shouted rant from husband...
I should be doing a better job of watching them. I should be always watching both at once. It's not right to let them take other peoples things... If I can t do a better job I shouldn t go to places like that ....
I want to throw something AIBU????
Sorry for the rant, need to get it off my chest!!

There's one of you and two of them! You cannot watch both at all times. My dts are 15 months and I try my best same as you but it's not always easy is it. Some mums hardly watch their children at all so I'm sure we are both doing a fab job. Maybe take you partner next time and let him do it all while you read a book and have a coffee. See what he thinks then x

I looked away for a second at soft play the other day and one of my twins wandered off.

Lost him for 10 minutes

Has he had a bad day and taking it out on you ? Or does he never take them out on his own and hasn't got a clue to what it's really like? Either way he ibu.

Hope your ok x

Cheeky sod!!! I'd be fuming with him. I agree with taking him next time and leaving him to care for them.

Thank you all. I ve calmed down a bit now!!
He definately needs to take them out by himself! He doesn't have a clue what it's like to have them all day every day. Leaving the kids with him alone for the night next weekend, secretly hoping its really hard work for him ;-) girls weekend, first time I ve ever left my twins. Usually when I go i leave food, clothes etc ready, not this time!!

Have a lovely time and I hope he realises how hard twins can be x

Ooh yes get him to take them out, let us know how he goes (bet he won't tell you hard it is though).

I've got 21 month old twins and they are just like that, they egg eachother on, one copies another, one runs interference while the other gets into mischief. At a school carol concert, one crawled down the aisle, I got that one but the other nipped down behind me and headed for the front. The audience thought it was funny.

You're doing great, I don't dare take them to soft play yet. Yours sound great fun.

my twins were 21 months old yesterday.
he's having a laugh isn't he!
i would definately go to a play centre with him at the weekend and tell him to watch them both- silly sod.

and i would cut yourself some slack, there is nothing wrong with sitting back and having a coffee and a natter with other mothers whilst keeping a eye on them.

too be truthful, i think it looks a bit stifling for children when mums follow them around- they need to be independent and play by themselves and with other children.

have a good night out- i still havent had a proper girlie night out since 2009, so im
