    Twins.

    you are blessed if they both sleep together and are fed together.i remember the times of sterilising 24 bottles a day and buying milk powder in cases.our had the habit of feed one change put to bed ,then as your eyes were closing number two woke up and needed feeding and changing . so a four hour cycle became a two hour cycle ... bliss. one night after a long hard day i crashed out at 6pm and was woken by my daughter trying to get milk out of my tit... no result but the picture will remain in my head for a long time. wife and twins in a kinsize is dangerous!!!!!

    Twins.

    my twins are 6 a boy and girl.i know exactly how you feel.i used to go to a job and fall asleep in truck .advice is hard to be practical ,but you neeed to work as a team .you need to work and earn cash for nappies etc ,but your wife will need time away from looking after twins or else she will go into meltdown.i would say be patienc and not to put work first.things will get better in time but for the meanwhile you need to get yourselves in a routine so at least you know what is happening when.if you have grandparents availible to help use them .we didnt so had no escape.forget your social life ..ours became non existant and the thought of nipping ou to the pub for a swifty was a no no .all i can say is look after your missus or you will suffer!! jake:thumbup: congrats for the kids
