Young twins

[chocolatesweets]

I have 3.5 year old twins and they are so demanding at the moment. Does it get any easier?

I'm going back to work full time and I'm looking forward to the break.

I feel pathetic that I can't handle parenting sometimes but it's relentless. I'm on like 10% battery. It's the summer holidays too so we don't have access to nursery or play-school.

Am I normal?

Not had twins sorry OP. Did you know there's a Multiples section on MN under "Being a Parent"?

Perfectly normal. If it’s not I’ll join you in the not normal group

Mine are the same age, also mid summer holiday and I’m going bonkers. They do not stop. Ever. The whinging, the fighting, needing constant entertainment, tantrums, refusing to sleep, it’s savage! Don’t get me wrong, they’re beautiful kids and I adore them, but I need some non suspicious silence and time out to recharge.

Mine are 2 and I hoped it would get easier when they were 3. Oh dear.
Mine are relentless. The fighting, destroying, demanding whirlwinds.

Savage mine are 3 too. Hoping someone comes on to tell us it gets better 🙏🏿. It's so so hard, I can only hack it when I have childcare, when I don't I feel I'm on the verge of a breakdown.

I'm so glad it's not me! My mum told me she was worried about us the other day. Made me feel like there was something wrong with me that I couldn't hack it.

Mine are 8 and it does get easier. They still argue of course and annoy each other sometimes, but yes it does get easier

It is normal and it does get better. Yours are at that lovely "finding independence" stage which is very full on and exhausting because they still need so much help.
Our twins are 6 now and they are much better at following instructions and doing lots of basics for themselves. Good job really as we have a newborn, 6th baby but a rough birth so I'm not at 100% yet and all 5 older kids have been good little helpers.

Not exactly twins here but my boys will be 2&3 in December (12 months apart)
And ohh my god!! They are little whirlwind house destroying energy burners!
Only time they sit still is when they are eating.. refuelling for the next house destroying episode 😂
Good job they are cute thats for sure!
