Is there anyone else here with 3 sets of twins?

Or something similar???
I'm new on here (can't believe I've only just discovered this) with 3 sets of twins and 4 singletons. I don't think I'm asking for advice as such but is there anyone else with similar experiences they can share?
Thanks in advance. Smile

Unless you are somebody I know of then there is at least one other person with three sets of twins on here.

I actually know somebody with three sets of twins and other children so there is at least one other person crazy enough to.

Honestly, I'm not too sure. We always had very strict routines, even with the first singleton, as that was what was recommended by our families. Me and DH both have large families, all our siblings have large families (multiples seem to run in the family as well but we're the first treble) so we got lots of advice.

Elder there take themselves to secondary. Me and DH take turns with walking the others. Youngest is in nursery 3 days a week. Schools and nursery are thankfully very close but there's quite a complex hand holding system to keep everyone together.

Hats off to you OP!

Have you stopped having babies now?

They must cost you a fortune, can't imagine cost of school uniform/trips etc, especially when you have some in the same year
