I have to admit, I’m hitting a wall here and could really use some advice. So I have these two adorable bundles of energy, barely 2 years old and twins to top it off. Raising twins is like trying to keep up with two tornadoes who have decided to take the house apart, in a cute way of course.
For the most part, I’ve figured out how to keep up with them during the day. But bedtime, man oh man, this is where the real challenge starts. We have a routine - bath time, story time, cuddle time, and hopefully, bed time. But somehow, just when I think they’re about to nod off, there’s a sudden upsurge of energy and my husband and I reckon that no amount of stories or cuddles are going to make these two sleep.
I’ve read up some parenting books that suggest having separate bed times for twins so they don’t rev each other up but that hasn’t really been feasible for us. I mean fiddling with bedtimes when juggling everything else, with the ongoing pandemic and all? (Talk about a parenting difficulty level up). Is it a stage thing or is it just my twins defying the laws of toddler universe?
Having to manage work from home with no child care (thanks, pandemic!) is already enough of a challenge. But the lack of sleep is now taking a toll on both, the hubby and me.
