Triplet on the floor????

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...

Once again excuse my typos. I am feeding Jaqi and typing with one hand (one FROZEN hand!)

Okay I just want to say something and I know some of you might judge me on this but I have twins and my husband and I raised them without a nanny! Most of the time he had to attend to our older daughter and during the day I watched the twins all by myself! Never ever had I left my babies in a dangerous situation (intentional or not or from the lack of sleep). Both babies got fed together, bathed together, wrapped up warm enough and alway together.

I'm NOT judging but this lady has a domestic during the day, a night nanny and then meags from 4-7 so she has help 24/7. I would have thought someone with that much help would cope much better and be able to care for all 3 the same.

I may be judged now too, but I totally agre with this. I have no twins, but 6 kids who are pretty close in age, all under 10.
i raised them thus far with not even domestic help, never mind a full time or night nanny. My kids are perfectly adapted and I m proid to say that they are no worse of fin any way...

meags - that explains a lot! It sounds like she is having a tough time to except the 3rd baby as they never really wanted it. Like Julz said I'm sure this mommy needs psychological help asap! I have a few triplet mommy friends and they cope pretty well (all with help of course) and this situation with this triplet mommy just doesnt sound right!

I really hope she can find the help she needs and form a bond with the 3rd baby soon. Please keep us updated.

Meags this mommy needs psychological help I think. It seems as if (and no judgement as I understand selective termination) the mommy only wanted two babies and is having a tough time accepting the third possibly.

Again unless we are in her situation we have no idea what she is going through. I feel really sad for her and am pleased that you are there to help her and encourage her.

Maybe contact life line and find out how you can possibly help her. No pnd mom wants to harm their child but sadly children can get hurt.

I know things can be overwhelming. I have never been a full time mom but have been a foster mom and it is exhausting and after a restless night, yes your focus is not as great as it could be.

The babies are IVF babies and they wanted to try (I dont know how to say this in a nice way - only a medical way) abort one. They felt 2 would be more than enough, but then the risks involved were too high and therefore left it at 3 babies. So I understand it was a huge decision to make from the beginning.

Twintastic, I was an au pair for twins full time 24 hours per day, 6 days per week for 5 months when I was 19 years old. I didnt have GREAT experience with babies but I did have some.

Surprisingly, it was quite easy actually!!! 2 hands, 2 babies, perfect

Le me tell you, triplets is a whole other ball game. There is no way she could cope alone and I therefore believe in her having 24 hour care. She is 33 so I guess since it's her first babies and she has never really been involved with babies before, it must be a huge adjustment and must take a whole lot out of you.

I just think as a mom, yes you need to let rough and tumble happen of course, but placing your baby somewhere unsafe?? You wouldn't leave your baby unattended on the changing table while you left the room to prepare dinner or run the bath...

I am a natural mom to be honest, but struggled to conceive and then had complications and suddenly things are not as simple as they should be.

Again we don't really know all of what is going on with this family.
