- I have great friends
- I love coffee, I really really love coffee
- I love chocolate more than coffee
- Your family become s a magnet for weird (and inappropriate) comments
- You definitely will have enough love to spread across many children
-
There really is no use “crying over spilt milk”
- Going out to get more milk can be classified as an unchartered expedition
- A solid relationship is crucial, before you have kids
- An entire day can easily pass without getting out of your pajama’s (and that’s OK)
- Sometimes I don’t even know what year it is, let alone the actual date
- I am more patient than my own mother gave me credit for
- I find washing clothes satisfying, but I DETEST folding them away
- Pay TV is very important
- Other people don’t understand your situation, but that is OK. Find people that do
- I am strong. Even stronger than I thought
- Ordering take away when your friends come over is considered a dinner party
- My body can make miracles
- I would pay good money to sleep alone for the entire night
- There are “dirty clothes” and then there are clothes that will do for just “one more wear”
- I can go for days without adult conversation (reluctantly)
- When the road to motherhood is not straightforward, the amazing reward is often twins
Please share what you have learnt about yourself since having children......

i really struggled with the questions and comments in the early years of having twins. Now with them in Prep there are new and interesting challenges such as : double the readers, double the homework, parties (who’s invited and who isn’t). I also think my third daughter was sent to prove the point that sometimes a single kid can be harder than twins. Thanks a lot universe! Great post Olivia. Really there is no point crying over spilt milk. Bron
