Help with twins.

I have soon to be 5 mold old twins that are both teething (no toddler but do have 3 dogs) with no help except for when my husband gets home from work. It's been tough. most days I dont eat until dinner. We got the flu twice in 3 weeks then they had fevers from vaccines and now they're teething and nonstop crying/fussy. It's so hard. I'm always tired. I just keep telling myself it's just a phase and it will get easier
My daughter was 3 when my twins were born, the twins are now 8 months old. I worked full time until 3 weeks before the twins were born and was taking care of my eldest and all the housecleaning/cooking until they were born. I take care of the twins and my eldest the whole time I'm not at work, I'm working full time overnights so that's when my husband has them. We have zero family near by and no friends who help. It's not super hard for me with my routine, on my work days I get 3 hours of sleep then do my day all over again. I would say have a routine but be flexible about it depending on the day.
@Leilani u sleep 3hrs work full time, twins and tiddler. It's not that hard for you?u must have some superior super power. Most... almost all ppl need sleep. I'm not a night walker..I need sleep. Sleep deprivation is real, no time for body to rest, constant washing up. Unless the babies are amazing or sleep well.. or not as fussy. That only way I think ppl say it's not bad. Kudos to you all for all work .... 3 kids under 5 and my husband doesn't do enough. And he's not working long hours..6hrs at most.. no over night, no 2 jobs and he thinks he did enough help. Sitting in front of tv while baby or 1year old is there is their idea of helping. But when baby is waking places, he still watching TV and I can see she crying and needs something but he fixated on TV until I say something. It's hard but to be resentment, stressed, pain,depressed and alone. But if I works for u, amazing. I wish I had a village.. I'll take 3% if I could. my mother, she hitting 70, can't walk anymore,didn't drive
Don’t be discouraged by this woman who seemingly has it all together and has everything figured out on her own with only 3 hours sleep…. LOL I can’t say that with a straight face. It is HARD. My twins are 11 months and every day is an uphill battle.
Damn I am so so sorry.. at the end of my pregnancy and the beginning of motherhood my man picked up 90% of the slack and took care of me and the babies, and I have the most incredible mother who was ready to take off work if I needed her but by 2 weeks pp when my man went back to work I was totally good to be alone with them and never ended up calling my mom. "It takes a village to raise a child" is sooooo freakin true and with twins it takes a gd army. With 3?? You need the whole continent on your side. I hope you're able to find at least a small "village" to help you out 🫶🏻
