Are you a twin mom?

[BeachBum]

I'm blown away by how many twin moms are on this board! Everyday I seem to see a post from someone that I didn't realize had twins.

I'd really like for us to make an effort to talk more. Perhaps we could have an monthly thread where we can all chat---like a little group within BBB? The multiples section is great--but it doesn't facilitate getting to know each other as much as I'd like.

I'd love it. You are right, I keep seeing twin mommies that I didn't know had twins....I can't remember who but someone has older twins. I'd love advice from some that have BTDT.

I would be interested. I love hearing from other twin mommies. :-)

I think part of the problem is that people often read the Lounge, but don't scroll down to this one. Either they don't know it exists or forget about it.

I'm always happy to chat though

My news for the day: the girls started preschool today! And, I was amazed when their teacher told me that they hardly played together at all. (identical girls who have never been apart). They didn't come greet me when I came to pick them up and both wanted to stay! So I guess they had fun!

I would love to get to know other twin moms better! I'm all for it!

That sounds like a great first day!!

I feel like having twins always presents unique challanges that friends with singletons haven't had to deal with and can't offer suggestions. I always search the posts here to see if someone has already asked and recieved advice about the issue I'm having. It would be nice to ask things I can't find answers to in a forum where everyone there may have BTDT. Kind of like a multiples group without having to make it to the meetings

I think it is a great idea as well. I'm not up for joining the twin clubs here, but I would be happy to communicate with other twin parents this way.

Same here. The multiples club here is a good 30 min drive from me and they hold their meetings at 6pm, on a weeknight! It's impossible to get away then - during that time I am scrambling to get dinner ready, my husband comes home and he scrambles with entertaining the girls so I can get dinner finished, then we have to feed the dogs, then we all sit down and eat (it's NOT a peaceful meal with the fussing, food throwing, frantic dogs competing for food underneath high chairs, etc.), then we try to take a walk around the neighborhood, then we get to bathe them both (also not exactly a relaxing procedure), and get them ready for bed, and clean up....

My multiples club must be insane. Maybe they all have hired help or something.

My local multiples club meets around 6-7 on weekday nights too. I am also mystified as to how people work that out.....I've been to a couple meetings and I'm sure I'd enjoy going but truthfully until my kids are older I do not enjoy leaving them at that time of day....
