Hello!
I have 6month ID twin girls looking to set up and or find (if there is one already) a group aimed at twins (or other multiples) in the Dartford area. I'm not looking for one that starts really early - afternoon suits me better in terms if getting my ladies ready and out of the house!
If you are in the area or willing to travel please get in touch!

At first I'm not gonna lie .. It was hell!! But about 12 weeks it all turned round (thankfully) before then it was pretty much 24 hours of crying!!

I also have older children so was very difficult at the time!

How are you finding it?

Well for me it's only started to get easier in the last month or so!
I haven't got any other children but these two are hard enough. So hat off to you my dear!
It is incredibly special having twins esp ID but I've never know anything so hard! I'm permanently exhausted but somehow find the strength to get through another day.
My partner is a great support to me and his family help out where possible. My family can't really help. Are you getting any support?

My husband is fantastic, but works very hard so isn't always around to help!

My mum will take my 2 older dc 9,6 to school of dh is at work which is a fab help!!

So it's just me my 16 months old and twins!!
I don't get any other help, dh parents don't help at all only seen them couple of times!!

It is exhausting, some days I don't want to move and do it all because there is so much too do!!
Also I have a thing with my house being a mess, it drives me nuts and the kids are just messy sods!!!

I found though things got easier when the girls got into a routine , it has made things a lot easier!

My family can't help. My mums no longer with us and my dads quite elderly and all my siblings have their own kids to deal with so it can feel quite isolating at times Sad
I agree with you re the routine though. My girls defo have a more concrete routine now but yesterday it fell to pieces and we had a baaaaaad night!
You're an absolute trooper with older kids too.
Do you manage to get out to any groups?

I'm sorry to hear about your mum :(

It can be very isolating! I have a lot of good friends but it's so hard tiger out with twins and dd as she is jut everywhere and if the twins start I only have 1 pair I hands and my friends have there own kids to deal with!

I don't go to groups they don't have any multiples ones that I know of!! It would just be to stressful
