To moms of twins....?

Question

Is it hard being a mother of twins? Is it really hard having two babies instead of one, two toddlers instead of one? If you could do it over again, would of had twins or had a singleton? Thanks!!

Answer 1

My aunt has had twins and we've spoke about the situtation before. So here is what she thought::: She said you have to pay twice the money for everything andd it takes twice the work. But in the end- you end up with twice the love too. andd thats all that matters! she said it was deffinetly worth its a little better somtimes because they always get much needed attention- not only from you but from the other twin...and they will always have a little buddy to be with! Also- you can join a twins club for mothers with twins! Andd the kids will also have friends that can relate to them andd you have other mothers to relate with! just google it :) Hope my opinion helped<3

Answer 2

I have two sets of nieces who are twins.  17 year old girls and 4 year old girls.  The 17 year olds are looking at colleges.  They go to separate high schools (their choice) because of their diverse interests.  They were full term and were the 3rd and 4th children born to my sister-in-law so she had experience with babies and help from grandma.  My sister is the youngest in a family of 11 and her twins were very premature.  One has Cerebral Palsey and uses a walker and wears a leg brace.  There are difficult times with raising singles as well as multiples but there are always family, neighbors, and friends who are willing to help if you ask.  

As Hilary Clinton said in her book It Takes a Village to raise a child.  The child may be yours biologically but most people are willing to help if asked when times get rough or you are at your wits end.

Answer 3

My mom has 7 kids, with 1 set of twins that are now 4 months. She said she loves it. The only thing she doesn't enjoy is 2 poopy diapers and 2 crying babies. She just keeps on top of them, and it works better. Stay organized. Plan!

Answer 4

well i think it would be better as they will always have one the same age to grow up with and play with

as if they could do it over i don't think they could choose if they had twins or not  

Answer 5

It has been one of the most hardest mental challenged I have ever had to do. I constantly question myself, about picking one up more than the other, and when one is sick, he needs more attention.

It really hurts my head thinking of it. In both sets one of the boys had had medical problems within the first year - Which has been the hardest issue we've had.

Would I do it again - meaning will I have any more children. No, it's too hard on my mind and body now.

I had my second set of twins in March this year, and it's been a very slow recovery for me. It took a lot of me to carry them, and labour. My body really took a beating.

Would I do it over with my son's? Everyday again and again. They have bought so much joy to our lives.
