Hello, My name is Caroline and I am new to the group. I struggled with fertility issues for over 7 years, trying numerous treatments before being successful with In Vitro. And I got twins. I was glad that I wouldn't have an only child and I got two for the price of one, but had no idea what lay ahead. It has been sooo hard and while I listen to other mothers talk about how they cry when their child starts preschool, I was counting down the days to actually have a minute to myself! The biggest stressor for me is the fighting. I have twin girls, Ava and Avery. Ever since Avery was 5 months old and had quite a bit of teeth, she was biting. I thought once Ava got more teeth and bit back that would be the end, but it just led to two biters. They started just doing it because the arm was there, but then they used it to express anger. Now they have moved onto yelling, hair pulling, hitting, pushing, but the biting does occur once in awhile. I am constantly breaking up a fight and putting someone in timeout. I know that all siblings fight, but this just seems to be constant. Does anyone else have this problem? |
