The last six weeks have proven to me that talk is cheap and actions speak volumes. I've learned that I must really be Wonder Woman because I managed to somehow halfway heal from a c-section, battle an upper respiratory infection that was borderline pnemonia, battle the resulting viral pink eye (and manage to NOT infect the twins with pink eye somehow) and care for my twins on 2 hrs of sleep a night while also doing housework against doctors orders, running errands and packing twins in car seats which exceeded my weight allowance and did all the other things I had hoped for help with.
The remarkable thing is that I managed it without the weekly help I was promised. No one showed up a few times a week to help with chores, take care of the boys so I could rest (exception was 1 day the boys were gone all day and I slept thanks to grandparent intervention), cook a meal or do any of the other things everyone went on and on about that I'd get help with weekly once the boys came home and I'm quite proud of myself.
I always knew I was strong and capable of overcoming any obstacle before me, but I honestly never thought I'd be able to do all this with twins, especially since everyone I know with multiples made it clear I would never be able to do it alone and without help.
So yeah, there's a part of me that's extremely bitter and salty over not having the help I expected to get automatically when I got home but on the flip side I'm happy because of the fact I did learn a few valuable lessons in the process. I really don't need anyone in my life to help me or take care of me, I can do it by myself.

you go mama, I had the flu right after having my last c-section... I was lucky I had help like I was told I would... I don't know if I am as strong as you, I did go get groceries but again I had help.. I am sending an extra prayer for you, that you can maybe get a bit more rest
Transgender children
So I just learned that in my kids school district (my kids aren't in school yet my oldest will be starting kindergarten next September) there are twin boys who identify as girls. They are 5 years old. What's your opinions on this matter given they are 5!!! I don't believe that at that age they really understand the whole thing. So the entire school had to take a course on how to handle transgender children. For example they can't say girls go this or boys do that. What are...
Yesterday I went out with my boyfriend went to watch a movie, me and him don't live together yet. but point is yesterday when he was dropping me off his like sleep over at my house witch the mom and dad lives. I said no,
his response was why is everyone deciding or making choices for you and their going to do the same with the baby, when I know that's not true. what he thinks is that my mom tells me not to sleep over. So he left all mad. and I felt in my heart that he went on and cheated on me...
I broke down at my moms house today ... because of the debt we owe and Passover is coming and it’s a very expensive holiday ... it was just way too much .... my mom i guess told my brother that I’m suffering and he called me over and asked me why i didn’t just ask for help, and offered to help when i need it . And gave me basically 4K to help for the month and if i need more to ask ... now one thing about me , is that i will suffer silently and won’t ask for help.... I’ve always been that way. ...
Please help!
My doctor is trying to induce me before 40 weeks because she's going to be off on my due date and says my placenta is starting to look old. How do I get labor started?? I don't want to be induced for no reason and I'm thinking I won't have a choice. Please help. What do I do to get things going?
I don't care what ppl think of me, but I'm seriously considering putting my baby up for adoption. I love her with all of heart, but doing this alone is hard. Every single night she just screams to the top of her lungs and I do everything to soothe her. I don't know what to do at all. I wish I had some kind of help. I don't have a single ounce of help. I don't know a single soul in Minnesota either.
Can some of your older children help out?
