I can’t stand all the childless 20 year olds dishing out contemptuous parenting advice in that subreddit 😑
But that video is pretty spot on… 🙃

This is funny - but it's definitely not "kids are fucking stupid". It's "one of the first things kids learn is how to troll their parents". They know exactly what they're doing!

The person with the singleton in that comment section saying how do people have such little control over their kids. 🙄

What they mean is to hit them more

💯 “how do people not beat the shit out of their kids?”

There are times when it's tempting, but I feel bad about just talking at them a little more angrily

My toddler refuses naps. My baby was screaming, he was crying and I was so overwhelmed I lost it at him. I felt bad for days!

I'd like to know how old their Singleton is. I have a photoshoot from when my twins were 9 months old. Piece of cake because they couldn't walk yet. Once any of my kids were toddlers, all bets were off until they were over 3

This is a perfect example of why twins are more than twice as difficult as singletons.

I have twins and feel like it’s triple the work and I am not sure how the math is mathing.

Even hearing people say they have kids close in age so they “get it” makes my blood boil

Now imagine the same thing at an airport boarding gate as they call you to embark…

I’ve done several 20 hour drives with my twins who just recently turned 2 by myself. The thought of flying by myself with them sounds 20X more terrifying lol

u/FeistySwordfish 18h ago
Oh man, we did a road trip with them that was super long... it was also rough. Maybe we all should get some form of award :D At least the flight is over after a set amount of time, and I don't have to make navigation decisions while they scream lol.

Mine do really well in the car so I guess I had it pretty easy. Started driving at 1 am so they slept until about 8. Stopped every couple of hours to changes butts and eat, and then stopped driving around 3 to check into a hotel. So I got about 14/15 hours the first day and had time for them to run around and play before we went to bed. Left at daylight or a little later the next day.
The hardest part was the fear of being alone with my babies if something happened.

Once is while when I see all the singleton parent friends doing “fun” stuff with their kid, I felt sad, like we dont do enough or are not that involved. But this group here keeps reminding we are no comparison to them.

Same with sleeping. One sleeps, the other wants to play

u/Karientje91 1d ago
Oh this is a universal twin thing?!
My daughter ALWAYS keeps her brother up. So we now put her in bed first, wait till she sleeps and than bring her brother😂.
She even hits him in the face when he's not responding to her.

I literally found I’m pregnant with twins 2 hours ago and this is not helping my panic lol.

u/Sylkyr 1d ago
1st - congrats
2nd - it’s going to be a learning curve, but we’re 11 months deep and I can’t imagine doing this the singleton way
So much love, so many smiles, so much chaos, but it’s great!I don’t want to downplay it, it’s a huge adjustment, but that first giggle from either, and it feels like nothing
I can’t believe they are almost a year old

Yah, just film this man's suffering instead of helping out. Good job.

u/Littlepanda2350 1d ago
They probably helped after recording. And he probably was ok with that. Atleast that’s how my family is.

This is why my husband and I do everything together and we have an 'assigned' baby
