Triplet on the floor????

Meags, are there issues between mom and dad that are being played out on the kids?

I know I have said this before, but I am not sure how I would cope being presented with triplets - I can't imagine how a parent adjusts, and of course the stress that must add to a relationship.

Dad says he thinks little baby is 1 month behind the others in terms of development.
I pointed out to him that each baby has something different they can do that the others cant.
eg little boy loves his tummy and is almost 6kg.
other girl smiled first and "talks" a lot.
little baby girl has extremely good head control and can bear weight on her legs.

At the moment, they can all smile, only boy and little girl reach out to play with objects (hit them-on the mobile) and the bigger girl doesnt.
both girls have head control and little boy doesnt.

So it's not like any of them are behind or slow??
I dont know why he said that...she is a lot smaller. Almost 2kg smaller than the boy, but that doesnt mean anything really?

Ok, I was reading through all these posts and I was just about to say: "Meags, don't you think that maybe, just maybe you are reading too much into this and maybe seeing something that really isn't there?" My first thought was that perhaps the mommy is more "involved" with the other 2 because they are more demanding and the little one just gets less attention because she doesn't seem to need it as much right now??? .................

But then, the cerebral palsy comment!!!!!!! That's just weird - why do you think he would say that???

Which might explain why they distance themselves from the baby - unresolved feelings/emotions and so on.

I hope over a few weeks all signs point to the negative and mom and dad get on board with the third baby.

ok update:

I am now working 7am-2pm and babies are in a routine!! Wow it works well for 3 babies

But...I was a bit shocked when the dad said he thinks little baby has cerebral palsy!!!!

I asked why, he said he read on the internet there is a high incidence of CP in triplets.

I said it really doesnt seem like any of them have it....
And he said "oh...well maybe she just has a mild form..."

Isnt this bizarre???????

Ok well yesterday I picked up on something funny too...

She was sitting by the girls bouncing them in the chairs, 1 was sleeping, 1 awake(the one she isnt close to).
She didnt pick up the one that was awake so I thought she was tired and didnt want to hold a baby.

I was holiding the little boy and he kind of turned his head to look around. As a joke I said "it's ok, mommy is there, don't be jealous that she is playing with your sisters"
and then mommy said "I also get jealous when people hold him...."
and then took him from me and went to bath him!!!!

she could of bathed the little girl that was awake???
it's just a little weird...

defnelty weird!!! It truely sounds like this lady doesnt care for the one (smaller baby)! And the worse part is it will reflect on her for the rest of her life! She will always be the outcast and people and children will notice!

I can totally understand feeling overwhelmed - I myself feel overwhelmed sometimes. I even sometiems wish I had domestic help, or 10 minutes to myself all on my own hahahah.
