Curious - how would a single triplet mum cope?

I just had a thought today while selfishly moaning about the difficulty of parenting a baby. What happens if you are a single mum with newborn triplets? Or even twins? Assuming you don't have a particularly supportive family, does the NHS help? I think you would need a live in nanny, for triplets at least. I literally could only just hold onto the threads of sanity if I were a simgle mum, but there would def be PPD. Twins? Triplets? The thought alone makes me shudder. How do people cope?

I presume youd be able to get a few hours respite off social services, if you pleaded hard enough. After all 3 emergency baby foster places would bite into the budget a lot more than a few hours weekly. Also if the sure start near them hadnt closed down then they'd help out too

Sorry meant to finish that post that ...

Whatever help she got, it wouldn't be the live in nanny that was suggested shed need in the opening post!
