Today me and my best friend are taking the twins out for lunch,
already I have this pit of apprehension in my stomach! What if one throws her food all over the place?! Or if they have a temper tantrum mid-meal?! All of these are the kind of things, I know will definitely happen. Sometimes I just wish I was a clairvoyant so I could forsee what time they would do it!
Currently it's 9.20am so we have a few hours yet until lunch, but the fun has already began. Toys and tempers are flying in The Average Household. My children have recently began to oppose the idea of eating their breakfasts. Which is quite irritating.
Just stop and think about it for a minute single child mums, how annoying is it throwing all that wasted food in the bin? I do that with DOUBLE the amount. u
I shit you not, I could feed Africa!
So anyway, the BIG question!
EATING OUT WITH TWINS, AM I MAD OR STUPID?!
- Maybe, just maybe I'm actually both. And I need to lay off myself a little bit, always mentally condeming myself for not taking them out very often and never alone.
Unless if you have had twins yourself you will never understand the guilt and inner turmoil of a mulitple mum!
Days out aren't just days out! They are carefully planned and prepared for. With an extra pair of hands being a nessecity! I would love to take my girls out alone. And do wonderful mummy/daughter activities but I always feel that unless if I sprout 87 extra arms overnight it just won't be happening anytime soon. I used to think I was a terrible lazy mother for not taking them out alone. I now realise I am clever. Because I still have my mental santiy (well, lets not lie! Some of it!).
Even the simplist of tasks becomes a mammoth activity with two grouchy uncooperative toddlers! But I do love to spend my time with these uncooperative grouchy toddlers. They're my little rays of sunshine in this world filled with fifty shades of grey.
I will do a follow up blog, about our lunch with Aunty Rhi!
I hope you enjoyed reading! Please +1, comment and share :). Until next time bloggers :).
