Triplet on the floor????

RM she has arranged to have full time support. So she has a night nanny from 7pm-7am, then her domestic helps from 7am-4pm, then I help from 4pm-7pm and there is another girl who will take over from me once I leave

I just feel sorry for the small one...cos if she isnt a baby person, why can she cuddle and love and kiss the other 2?? They may be 1kg heavier but they are still babies...

The baby should not have been on the couch I agree.

We are not all natural parents and I am also quite laid back with Dylan. My mother was so overprotective that I refuse to be so with Dylan. He gets bumps on his head, but he is fearless to a point. He has learnt to be careful by himself and not by me telling him he will fall, because I can assure you if I tell him that he will.

I battled with one baby and the lack of sleep so with 3 it must be hectic. Not making excuses but when one is tired you do silly things. Sometimes outrageous things that only a new mom can relate to.

I actually do think that parents often get on with one child more than the other sometimes. Parents love all their kids obviously but they often like one more. The kids should never know it, but sometimes we don't gel with our kids and sometimes we don't. It's quite normal.

I am glad you are there to help them and support them.

Oh and if I had to get home and all 3 of them are quiet, fed and calm, I think I would also not touch or cuddle them - just in case they decide to destroy the peace. Think it must be nice getting home and everything is under control and I can just sit on the couch!

I agree. And some people are really not into small babies. Angelina Jolie referred to her baby as a blob LOL and now she's fine with her. I personally won't cope with 3 babies at one time. I think I might get reported to the welfare.

Meags - I don't know the situation or the parents, but I can well imagine triplets at 14 weeks, must still have the parents a little in the stunned and shocked category.

I recall how it was coping with one newborn at 14 weeks, and having bigger kids running around - I think I might have looked a tad removed from the situation.

I hope they will have assistance now that you will not be able to be with them.

It might help to have a discussion with the mom how they are coping and if they need more help.

Some people do not cope as well as others, and often this is interpreted as listlessness and disinterest, where it really is a coping mechanism just not to have a full-fledged nervous breakdown.

I have worked there almost a month and when the dad comes home from work, he never kisses, touches or cuddles any of the babies. He walks around, looks and says "everything looks under control" and walks away. every single evening.
Once they were all crying so he was FORCED to help and he was fine with her!!!

He told me they like kids...but not as much as me (whatever that means) and the mom keeps telling me she cant wait for them to be bigger cos she's better with toddlers than babies.

I'm not sure if that's why the other 2 are favoured more, they are smiling, weigh 5kg and more and then the little one is just left and the other 2 are always wrapped so nicely with warm blankets, and the little one gets a small blanket that isnt warm

Oh shame Meags. Are they first time parents?

I don't think they love the others more, I think they might just be too tired to look like they actually care. I also come across as no care at times. I don't go into a panic, unless there's blood. And then everyone will go - ya but she could have hurt herself terribly etc. and I just go - well she didn't!

But it's strange that the mom does not let the babies sleep in their cots, especially alone in the room??? And I don't think you can say much hey.
