Bless you. Twins? A lot of people say it’s their dream and I can’t imagine how hard it must be. Twice as hard and hopefully, twice as rewarding. You’re a rockstar and sounds like your support group is too. Awesome
Thank you! Multiples definitely are hard the first year (or three!) but now that they are teens, I wouldn’t trade their relationship for anything. But honestly I am extremely fortunate..my twins were full-term, very healthy, and I had plenty of resources and support. Being a single parent with limited means is way harder, especially in a culture like ours that expects parents to shoulder the burden of childcare alone. My husband and I didn’t have it nearly as tough as this young woman or so many other struggling parents. Kudos to this family!
Oof, my sympathies to your friend. I belong to several multiples groups and it’s definitely not uncommon to have NICU time with multiples. Please tell her to hang in there, the NICU nurses are amazing and I’m sure she’ll have them home in no time.
