so. we babysat three month old twins for a few hours last night. good god, i don't know how my friends are doing it.

and by 'babysat' i mean, went over and took care of them while mom slept upstairs for three solid hours.

she found out the day before her mom's cancer is back (and it's bad) so she didn't get ANY sleep, on top of her already chronic lack of sleep, and she called me in tears at 8:30 and said she needed help.

we stayed till dad got home (and a bit) because he's working on a film set an hour away, so he leaves home at 6am, gets home at 10pm, and takes over for a couple hours so she can sleep (that's the normal schedule for them.)

we need to go over one night a week and let her sleep i think.

(remind me never to have twins.)

- i think if he had normal work hours, it would be a lot easier. but still hard. - Halloween Candie Oct 29, 06:51 7

I can't imagine. Logan still doesn't sleep through regularly. Two freakin' years. -- nm - Amy of Darkness Oct 29, 06:44 1

- Honestly...I would have rather had twins than 2 babies back to back. - Jim Oct 29, 06:44 2

    - Real tough. Because V1 isn't old enough to really understand why V2 needs more attention. - Jim Oct 29, 07:06
- well, for us it's sort of 'fun' in a 'it will be over in a few hours' way. for them, it's months and months ahead of them of exhaustion. -- nm - Halloween Candie Oct 29, 06:44 1
  - I will never forget that the times I had people come over so I could sleep. That, THAT, was the only time baby Logan napped. He's such a turd. - Amy of Darkness Oct 29, 06:48
