“How do you take care of three children alone?“, “How do you juggle between the children and house work?“What if the twins cries in the same time for milk?“, “How do you handle if Josh needs your attention same time with the twins?“, How, what, when, bla, bla, bla, and again and again the questions asked to me.
These questions are not new to me…and I’m sure not new to those having twins like me too. I’m immune to these questions already. I’ve been asked so many times and most of the times I can’t even answer them. How to answer? I have no answer to all that questions. Why? Because everyday is a learning process to me. I learn a new tricks, a new tactics everyday how to handle children especially the twins.
They are wondering how do I manage my life as a wife and a mommy when I have to take care my children alone when hubby is working. Hmm..honestly, it is not easy. I have to sacrifice my time. I have to wake up early (no more sleeping beauty like I used to). Do the laundry, clean the messes done by Josh and if time permitted, cook breakfast for hubby but most of the time, I only manage to make him a cup of coffee (pity hubby eh having wife like me
).
I only have a few hours to do all that (so most of the time, I’m in rush to get things done) coz hubby have to leave by 9 am. The most challenging time will be the time the children wake up. Firstly, I have to feed the three of them (except Josh who can drink his milk by himself, thank God for that) then bath them. The twins first (one by one of course) then only Josh. Done that, play with the twins for a while then put them to nap. While the twins napping, I rush to ready our lunch. So, by noon, I already flat out. Totally worn out but it won’t stop there….the feeding, the napping will continue until hubby comes home in the evening where hubby will take over for a while so that I can rest for an hour or so.
One thing for sure I learn so far, having twins is not easy and I really salute to those mommies with twins. It is really a tough “work”. I have to be strong in emotion and mental. We can easily break down. Man, I tell you, I almost and very very close to depression and it is not easy to handle this situation. I am still learning how to overcome this feeling….but I’m lucky as hubby is there to support me and not forgetting my family and friends. But most of all, God has helped me to get through my depression..
Well, that’s how my life is for now…which I’m sure will be better by the time my twins grow older. Yes, very tiring but every time I look at those tiny err not so tiny anymore, my heart fill with loves and happiness. Any other things doesn’t matter anymore as long as I can see the smile on those tiny faces and of course, hubby’s smiling face too.
To all mommies out there…don’t mind wat ppls say how we bring up our kids coz ITS OUR LIFE … hehehe actually this song doesn’t mean anything. Just the title says its my life and I just wanna share this song with all mommies out there. Enjooy!






I can already imagine how it must be for you – double my rush hour. And it’s true, there is no exact best way to do it, we learn as we go along depending on our mood and personality and the kids mood and personality – its different with everyone.
So I get told how to do things all the time too – but I know myself and although I do consider all the helpful tips, I don’t let it stresses me out if I can’t do it the way it’s “supposed” to be done. As long as I’m happy, kids happy and husband happy – its all good, kan MamaJ!
Yeah.. it’s definitely a learning process..
Having my mom close by really helps with all the tips.. Most people think just because I’m a young mommy that’s living with my mother, they automatically think that my mom takes care of my kids. NO WAY, i tell you..
From the bathing to the feeding to the changing to the sleeping time, I do it all.. I’m definitely not complaining.. But some people ah, just because I’m young, they think I’m a “Britney Spears”.. LOL!
Well, dun care what people say, right?? As long as my kids are happy and healthy.. that’s all that matters..
You ladies are definitely ‘power mommies’…i wonder how i juggle up with it when it is my time. Hehe
