Hi, so I have Irish twins as well. Jan2024 and Dec2024. It’s hella hard and I feel you completely. I literally have some days where I put both in a safe place fed and changed and I have to go out on my doorstep and breathe. I have no help at all there is no village around here. You will get angry but when u get a moment of quiet, go outside and just breathe and relax yourself. It’s so hard to keep up with small ones. Try and build a schedule and have the babies go by it. This is what I try, For example: I do 2 baths a week for each baby but on different days not all at once. Monday and Friday for my youngest-Tuesday and Saturday for my oldest. I try and plan their naps at the same time mid day so I can have a 2 hr break to shower and make dinner. Have a designated day for laundry. And one designated day a week for cleaning one room in the house. Whenever it’s down time and both are in bed at night take a hot shower and sleep. This is what I have been trying to do and it’s working sofar
My apologies for the big paragraph. But I completely understand the struggle. Best of luck. Stay positive and remember to take care of yourself too. Your kids need you❤️
It gets easier… my son was smacking and grabbing my daughter at first and now he’s a lot more gentle and gives her kisses all the time. He still smacks every once in a while but only because he’s so excited. My daughter definitely got less snuggles on the days I didn’t have help but I did my best to keep them both taken care of. I cried, a lot. I still do sometimes because some days are just harder. They’re 14 months and 4 months now and everything is leveling out feeling so much better. You got this 🤍 try to play while your little one is relaxing or napping and snuggle the little one while the older one has snacks in the high chair. When/if you have help don’t feel bad stepping away for a sec and taking some time for you, you need it and deserve it
