[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We have twin boys (5 years old now) and life is continuously getting easier for us. Compared to when they were 3, huge improvement. But I second the PP, you sort of need to treat them like puppies when it comes to exercise/energy levels haha.

Could you hire more help? Cleaning firm, baby sitter? [/quote]

Op here. I’m too ashamed to hire more help because I feel like I already have help 5 days a week and should be able to handle them on the weekends. I can’t handle them, but it’s like getting help would be giving up on mothering them almost completely.[/quote]

I take it you don't have a SO to share the childcare and housework. You need the additional help to provide you with some breathing room so you can mother. The important thing is that you want to mother. So get help, maybe even get help to get your groceries, clean your house, cook your meals. Give you and hour to shower. Something so that when the nanny isn't there you can devote your attention to being a mother and not trying to do a zillion other things.
