Parenting twins…alone
I’m a stay at home mom, so it’s not like I’m not used to dealing with my twins on my own. However, every evening when my husband comes home from work, it seems to rejuvenate me for the next day. He helps with dinner, bath time, and bedtime routines. And of course, just having another adult to manage them is much easier. And did I forget to mention that my children are just all-around better behaved for my husband? So, why am I writing this? Well, yesterday, my husband left for a business trip. So for the next week (possibly 2) I will regain my respect for single parents- especially those with twins.
Now I realize that if I were truly a single parent, I would probably have a full-time job, and need to put my kids in daycare. But just the thought of having to do it all on my own is stressful and intimidating. So, to all of you single moms and moms whose husbands work long hours, travel frequently, or who are just gone a lot, this post is a tribute to you. As I have no words of wisdom today, know that you are truly respected, and you are not praised enough for your hard work!
