[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP I haven't read the entire thread but it sounds like you need a break for a bit.

[b]Being a SAHM is not that[/b].  Be aware that many SAHMs walk around exhausted and stressed as well.  This won't be like a permanent vacation for you.

Take some time for R&R, you need it.  Then revisit the desire to become a SAHM. [/quote]

OP, the bolded is really true, especially with twins.  I think this PP is right - you need a break because you almost died and your body needs to recoup, plus you have gone through a lot and your mind needs to recoup too.  You need a health R&R, and you need down time to rejoice in your twins.  Talk to a doctor and see if you can arrange a few months' break, maybe using long term salary insurance coverage if you have that.  What doctor would deny helping you after all you've been through?  Hire a nanny or a housekeeper to help with the daily grind while you rest and enjoy your twins, but this set-up would help you when caring for twins and a house feels overwhelming.  After a few months, you'll probably be ready to face the world again.  Good luck, and hugs to you.

You have lots of company when it comes to women with DHs who don't understand at all.  Your DH sounds like a selfish jerk.  I wonder how he would feel if he'd been the one to almost die in the delivery room?  This is not about self pity - this is about having a chance to recuperate and to bond with your twins and to go forward with a refreshed spirit.  [/quote]
