Any parent who says it’s a breeze is not being honest ,it’s the most rewarding , beautiful time but also it can have you in tears , you both are amazing ❤
My daughter has 2 1/2 identical twin boys as well as a 7 year old. Their household is the best kind of chaos. They visit us every Sunday and we just love it. ❤️❤️
I honestly feel like a broken record, you two are just amazing parents! It's not only heartwarming to watch all of the aspects of your day in the life of twins, but it's also heartfelt too. The love you both share for each other and most especially the boys make my heart sing. Thank you so much for sharing with us. I just love watching the boys grow, laugh, cry and snuggle with you both! It's not easy but boy is it worth it! Love and hugs from California!
You guys are doing great. I have twin brothers and I remember helping my mom when they were little😊 My mom was a stay at home mom and my dad worked many hours to provide for us. I am the oldest of 5, I was 12 when the twins were born. I truly loved helping my mom with them❣️💙💙
Every parent struggles so your not alone & you've got 2 babies , your little ones are so cute & mischievous your so real I luv watching you as a family x
@@fabandell so rewarding. Now my guy is speaking more, has his own interests it's just so rewarding and obviously worth every challenging second. Mad the correlations between our boys, CMPA and soya allergy (though my boy isn't quite out of it) Milos had HFM 3 times, my boys a climber, dummy boy, he doesn't sleep though so that's where it ends 🤣. Love your content x
I am now 61 and my youngest is 37 and I still shudder when remembering her tantrums 😳they were legendary. I was lulled into a false sense of security because I can honestly say that my eldest didn’t have tantrums at all and I remember smugly thinking to myself that other parents were just either exaggerating or didn’t know how to deal with their child 😬 I soon learned when my youngest came along that tantrums are a thing and it was a real shock to the system 😀 I agree that laughter is a good way to deal with the frustration of the situation if at all possible…….good luck 😀
Hahaha it’s a slap in the face isn’t it!! We’ve got that with Ari at the moment, any little thing can tip him into a massive tantrum for half an hour 😅 all part of parenting!
Guys your doing bloody marvellous. 1 baby having tantrums is stressful enough. I was told by health visitor let them tantrum and don’t give in, yeah easy to say! Your right it is a faze but still emotionally draining. The boys are a dream. when I see them being mischievous and laughing and happy it melts my heart. Yes I’m a silly old nanny. You are fabulous with them. Definitely get Astro turf it’s a game changer. I hoover mine! Being disabled I couldn’t cope with grass. Then you can concentrate on the flowers etc. it always looks so green and tidy to. Really hope the boys get a break with their health issues poor things. Have a good weekend xx ❤
As everyone is saying , being a parent really is a job and a half! Especially at their age you can’t take your eyes of them for a minute!!! They really are so adorable though and you both make excellent parents. Ell I did feel for you when Fab pointed out you had a bogey😂!!! I have to say that she took it very well! I think I might have walloped you🤣!! Ari and Noah are growing so fast now and looking more like fab I think, they really are gorgeous🥰, anyway catch u soon love Lucy (yep, still here in Weymouth!!) Ps..hope Ari gets well soon, xxxx
You're not alone guys! I took my Mum on a day spa for her birthday and my 20 month old came along and he just cried and screamed, it felt like the whole time! I felt ever so embarrassed, especially the looks I was getting, I'd ruined peoples day of tranquility! Like you say it's a phase. 😂
I am 20 years old and from Germany but somehow as a twin myself I love your videos...My mom was a single parent and I can't even begin to imagine how hard this must have been for her ❤ Keep up the good work :)
You two do the best job you can being parents you should be proud. I love that you show the "real" side of parenting and don't sugar coat your life. Keep doing what you're doing being the best parents to your two lovely boys 💙💙 x
Another great video! I love how you show a real life raising twins. There’s always going to be some kind of phase that they go through no matter how old they are. I know you won’t believe this right now but, when they grow up and move out of the house and start living their own life, All you are going to hear is white noise and you will be wishing they were still little and making lots of noise. I hope all of you have a wonderful weekend. Hugs from the south east coast of Florida.😎🌴🐠🌴😎
Another great video guys. The twins have their moments, as do all toddlers, but overall they seem to be very loving and intelligent little boys, which just shows what a great job you're doing 😊 xx
You are both looking really well. El especially you look glowing! Love the vid as always. My 14 month old boy is already tantruming. Can’t imagine it in surround sound!
Hi Fab and Ell, I get it with parenting it is the best thing to be a parent but also it is very difficult at times but the most rewarding. With my last child he is now 14 I have been a single parent, and through the hard times I also cherish the other moments and when I look back at the newborn/ toddler stage all I see was the good times and I miss my son at that age. When they get through toddlerhood and into teens you will see just the good times they are soon forgotten if that makes sense. You two are brilliant parents and enrich your twin boys with all they need. I didn’t have twins so I get it must be hard at times but it’s the best times also xxx
I love watching you guys 💙 my little boy is a month older, who is also going through the tantrum stage 🙈 it's awful lol I struggle with one boy, I admire you both so much and I love how honest you are in the videos! ❤❤
Good luck guys, my twin girls turned 3 last month and so far I can say between 2.5-3 is the most difficult age for us so far.... lots and lots of tantrums, not being able to leave the room without being shouted or screamed at, constantly both wanting to be on top of you, hitting each other... they're the queen of the house and they make sure we know it lol... they are great though ;) and it is a phase and will get better... but just know it's going to get a lot worse hahaha
@@fabandell I hope so to for you although the terrible two's are yet to start for Ari and Noah haha ;) although every kid is different so I hope this is the worst now. But even if it does get worse (for us they didn't really start their tantrums until literally two days after their second birthday) remember for every bad moment there are 10 great moments and you'll get through it, you are great parents and seem to be able to handle A LOT so don't worry
My daughter is the same age as your boys so I can totally relate to the big feelings they are having at this age. I also have a 5 week newborn so throwing that into the mix is absolutely chaotic 🤯😅 Being parents is so much fun but not always a breeze how a lot of people portray it to be so I always appreciate your guys transparency 🥰
I often think that maybe having a sound proof room would be so useful, so I can go in to have a good scream 😱🤪🤣 Might help with how my kids make me feel everyday 🙈🤣x
Hey, you guys probably thought of this already, but did you notify the kid's playplace about Noah having the hand-foot-mouth virus? Just in case they have a special extra cleaning protocol they would want to follow, especially with the dress-up clothes. It's probably just the nurse in me, going into disinfecting overkill!! Hang in there with the tantrum stage. I remember going through it with my twin boys. Some days were just pure torture. I would take them out to their favorite park, or out to feed the ducks. Repeat the saying, " This too shall pass." It's a very normal developmental stage and your boys are very normal. I enjoy watching your channel. I first subscribed when the boys were newborns. You are both amazing parents! Just keep loving and supporting each other through the hard times. Sending you my love and hugs from hot and rainy Georgia USA. ❤🫂🇺🇸🧒🧒
It seems like whatever age your children are they’re always going through a ‘stage’- waking in the night, not settling at bedtime, tantrums, fussy eating. Honestly there’s always something and you think yey they’re over that and they start with another thing! When you’re going through it it feels never ending but believe me when you look back on it it’s only for a short time. They do try our patience at times but we wouldn’t be without them would we?
Guys... im on ny own with my 2 kids as their dad works away and i tell you now, ive wanted to walk away and leave my kids so many times, but instead i give myself 5 minutes to breath and let the feelings pass as i remind myself its normal. I have a 2 year old (nearly 3) and a 7 year old. Its a mixture of the terrible 2s, the no's, and the fact the youngest winds my oldest up so much so they argue and fight.. but this will pass x
I was listening to a podcast yesterday featuring Kate Silverton. She used to be a TV news reader but is now a trained child therapist having previously studied for a degree in psychology. She has written a book called “There is no such thing as naughty” for parents of children aged 0-5 which might be worth a look. I haven’t read it yet, but the reviews are really good and apparently it contains some useful strategies. The only issue will be finding the time to read it!
Appreciate you can’t do alone but have you started swimming classes Puddle ducks are brilliant. Is there a music and movement or diddy dance ? Great for this age My grandson started baby ballet at. 18 months loves it Library story time - free and gets them used to borrowing books.
Oh darlings ,anyone with children have been here ,I had 3 under 5 , and I SURVIVED ,wooo woo ,I don't know how I did it ,and on my own as my husband worked away a lot .but i did 🤣🤣🤣and for every big sigh moment ,and want to bang your own head on a wall ,,There a wonderful times where you just want to hug and squeeze, and just adore them.im afraid with children ,there will always be ups and downs ,you are both lucky you have each other ,and help from your parents ,so just enjoy this time with them whilst you can ,enjoy every second ,because before you know it,they are grown ,❤
Completely agree with this! The lovely moments are the ones that we will remember but wow can it be tough! Hats off to single parents because it's hard x
Love the uploads! artificial turf, wow you are the best dad Fab! My child suffers from allergic to everything outside too, bugs, pollen, trees, grass everything but air I guess never would I have thought of artificial grass!
Well done guys it’s not easy, but you are doing a great job, Archie is arriving at ours on Monday for three weeks, he is 16 months so if you have any recommendations for toys or places to take him would be great, I have been getting him stuff off market place, I’m so excited his first trip to England 🏴
awww amazing, hope you have the best time!! Books are always a great purchase, our boys were really into pressing buttons that made noises at that age x
I feel you with the tantrums, my son is 2.5 years old and was fine until the past 2 months where all of a sudden he is moaning, whining, crying, breaking down, having tantrums from the minute he wakes up until the minute he goes to bed……..it’s draining 😅. I can only imagine what it must be like having 2 going through it at the same time 🫠
It's tough isn't it!! I try to remind myself that it must be even more frustrating for them, not being able to communicate their feelings but equally it's so hard for us as parents to deal with that much overstimulation each day and still do everything else we need to do as adults lol x
I didn’t scream and carry on and neither did my kids but we did get spanked if we got out of control !!! It’s actually in the Bible and is definitely needed !!!
Love your vlogs, always watch them! This is only meant in a positive way, not sure what happened with your camera but it seems to be much more sensitive to movement!
