Motherhood burnout // the worst week of my life! 

Hi Natalie, I've been a silent watcher since February. My boys were born in March and I cannot thank you enough for your realness and refreshing content. I'm currently in the weeds with them with the crankiness, clinginess and just overwhelming exhaustion that comes with trying to be all and fix all. Sending you lots of hugs. You're doing great! Praying that your mom's travel plans this December come to pass. What a blessing to have family around! Take care of yourself and enjoy all the snuggles with your sweet little ones. xx

This helped a lot while I get my break right now, thank you for making everything clear on exactly what I'm feeling

Thank you for being honest. I can relate to this video so much. I was having a hard day yesterday with my boys, and I honestly thought I wasn’t going to survive the day. What really helps me is to walk away for a few mins or take deep breaths and return back to the situation. I keep looking back at the last few months thinking how fast they’ve gone by and remind myself that it won’t always be like this. There will come a time I will miss them needing me or just them being this small. When my husband comes home, I ask him to watch them while I go out and grab a coffee or go shopping for a bit. Just know that you are doing a great job and your boys love you and that you’re probably one of the best parts of their everyday. Thank you again for taking time to do these videos. I know that they are resonating with many twin moms like myself. Praying that your family can visit for Christmas!

I honestly don’t know how you do it all without help. Really wow it’s quite amazing and you are doing an amazing job it’s really inspiring, I really am so grateful for your videos!! It’s so hard with the crying not to feel frustrated especially because you can’t pick them both up so one is basically always crying - it’s so hard and makes me really emotional. It’s such a crazy constant expansion of patience and love. I always feel like I could actually do anything now as the mental barriers you have to cross being a multiple mother are crazy. Keep going you are amazing and your family will make it for sure!!

So much solidarity... My twins both got a cold after a week of daycare. They are fussy all the time no matter what we do. And all the schedules are messed up and they don't want to nap or sleep... It's so so hard to live through these moments, but t's comforting to know we are not alone. So glad that your family will be coming!!! Sending you positive thoughts & hugs!

I have 8-week old twins and needed to hear this so much today. Thank You!

Oh bless you Natalie motherhood is really hard work and it most definitely is a marathon. Listening to you brought back so many memories of the hard days I had with my three when they were young. Realising that it doesnt matter about the housework, jobs etc. when they need you or are consuming your time you need to accept you cant do everything. When I did get a little time I would set myself one goal to do in a week and then gradually either increase the number of things I did over the week or complete them in less time. Raising children is a full time job so anything else we get done is a bonus. Men are definitely different as they can ignore the crying and tantrums, sometimes I think there is a bit of hoping Mum will sort them out knowing we cant ignore it! xx

Oh hun this looks and sounds so familiar! My girls are the same right now, they want me, they walk and bonk and then I have to run and console for 2 minutes straight hoping the other twin is quiet for the time being. Twin parenting is hard, and you have to go easy on yourself, yes the dishes and the cleaning can wait, the little munchkins can’t always wait. I do the same, when they are awake it’s baby time I pretty much don’t walk away from them, until nap time and then it’s 1 hour of go go crazy cleaning, cooking, laundry!

Bless you. We were so happy to hear your Mum will be with you soon. We really hope that happens. And well done for getting a video up after a week like that - we all appreciate your honesty and it helps so many of us x

I am newly pregnant with twins and just found your channel. I love all of your content so much. These will be babies 5&6 for me 😳. From your last video it kinda sounds like your babies may be ready to go down for 1 long nap during the day rather than the 2 naps. It's such a hard transition time but if you can get them into the new routine of 1 long nap it may help. Obviously I don't know your situation so take it with a pinch of salt

When my singleton turned 1, a month later I got a full blown toddler with a completely different set of challenges. I remember having the same sort of week! I think it’s a developmental thing!? I tried to follow my momma instinct and of course looked some stuff up. I discussed certain things with my husband & all of the sudden we are raising a toddler. It’s certainly a harder season for me as a mom but like anything it’s a learning curve. I’m sure you’ll find your groove. Now when my twins reach that age I pray I don’t lose my marbles 😅

Thank you for this video. ❤️ I know what you are going through. I have 9 month old twins and an almost 3 year old. It is so hard sometimes. It feels so good knowing we are not alone. Thank you for being open and honest.
