Having a rant and a big old moan...
I'm sitting here feeling a but worn out. My twins are nearly 11 months and I've gone back to work 2 days because I'd have to pay part of my maternity allowance back otherwise. It's hard because I don't enjoy it and when I return to my twins I'm drained from work. I plan to leave and find something I enjoy.
On maternity leave, my in laws would take them for a full afternoon every week and I'd get a chance to meet up with my husband on his lunch break and clean the house/get some order /plan the week etc.
I try and get them to nap together but Christmas has been and they've been out of a routine. They are tired , I'm tired. We've done something everyday for 2 weeks. Seeing family - me trying to catch up with friends. Prep for Christmas.
My own parents are less involved but they try their best. I would love more help from them but that's that. I hang out more with my mother in law than my mother. 
Twins are hard sometimes. It's harder than one baby.
