My boys are 13 months. Its been a Rollercoaster ride one of my boys is kicking off as i write this. Love them both more than life though !
Our lass was expecting twins with the last of her pregnancies, but we lost one of them...We were never told what sex it was, and I still sometimes wonder. Mind I also wonder how I would have managed with four kids as bringing three up has been hard enough...
Sorry to hear that mate. Its very hard work going from having no kids to then having two babies. It also takes its toll on your marrige, me and the wife get to spend very little time on our own now. Me and my lass work full time aswell, so I have the boys on my own alot when im not working shifts. I started this thread to hopefull get some tips and maybes share a few with any other dads out there.
Two of my kids are 18 months apart, and that was hard enough to cope with when they were young. My advice would be to except any help from family and close friends that you can get, and try and get some quality time together where there is just you and your lass, even if it is just to get down the local for a couple of beers every now and then. It also does get easier as they get older; that is until they get to teenagers and then want to kill each other all the time..Well mine do anyway..
17 months between my two, hard bloody work, i'm an uncle to twin boys, looking forward to spending the day with the crazy little ****ers today and my other 19 nieces and nephews. Sound advice raw btw
There's loads of good advice (and lots of crap as well) out there on the inter web Tees. But as RAW says, probably the best advice is not to forget to make time for each other. That's probably the biggest mistake most new parents make. Enjoy every moment you can with them marra - they grow up so damn quick they'll be up and away before you know it. Oh, and remember they're not just twins, they're 2 individuals as well.
Thanks mate, yes thats what we try do. They sleep out once a month, so we usually try get some quality time
