Hi all:We have our 9 month appt tomorrow with the dr
and I am preparing a list of questions. I have the
basic food, weight/height, and any sleeping questions
but just wanted to know if there was something that I
was missing that would be helpful to ask. It's always
pretty chaotic at these appts with vaccinations,
keeping them in place, and asking questions at the same
time :)Look forward to seeing everyone at the Family
outing this Saturday.ThanksBhavna

2. Housework

Is anyone having issues with their partner about
division of houusehold labour?I'm staying home with my
eight month old daughters. I currently have no help. My
husband is away at work for ten hours a day.My husband
often gets upset when things are not done around the
house while he's gone. I try to gets as much done when
I can, but the twins are very demanding. One twin in
particular is going through a phase where she will nap
for only 20-30 minutes at a time and will scream if I
try to leave them playing in their play yard while I
try to get to do housework. Many days I can't keep up
with the dishes or other tasks around the house. It's
the most I can do to feed and change them and eat
enough to keep myself going. Forget about downtime or
even enough time to myself to take a shower.He does
help out a lot when he's home, but he seems to feel
resentful about it and is very critical about what
hasn't been done. I try to explain to him why things
are the way they are, but I don't seem to be getting
through to him. No matter what I say, no matter how
crazy that he sees that it gets on weekends, he
persists in this notion that I am watching movies and
napping while I'm at home, and leaving the housework
for him to do.Has anyone had this issue with their
partner? If so, were you able to resolve it? I'd really
like to get past it, because we have enough on our
plate without having to argue about who has to wash it.

Sorry but I have to lol. Yes we have that problem! We
have not found a way to resolve it even after 5 years.
I acknowledge your point 100%. Except in my case as the
stay at home parent I am the one that gets upset. One
of our guest lecturer speaking about relationships and
raising twins said chores increase 7 fold with a
singleton and 14 or more fold with twins. It does get
better.The house does get cleaner when you start
getting rid of toys but the garage gets messier when
you start getting strollers, scooters, bikes, helmets,
and other sports equipment. The dishes situation does
get better when you finally get rid of the last bottles
and the plastic kid plates etc. The kids room does get
cleaner when you get rid of the changing table but the
bathroom gets messier when you have 2 extra potties in
there. A mess of hair ties, barrettes, head bands,
brushes and detangler are all in your future but I
don't see daily showers any time soon. The laundry gets
better when there are less changes of clothes. At 5
years old, it's one outfit a day! But the shoes get
messier when you have 5-6 pairs for each kid plus rain
boots and a few larger size ones on hand for when they
grow. The food situation gets easier and better when
everyone eats the same thing.It use to take about 20
minutes to clean a room and now I can be just in the
kitchen for 1-2 hours. Clean, prepping, preparing,
cooking, baking, organizing, scrubbing, clearing,
putting away groceries, etc. Thank goodness that is
where the wine is. Forget our bedroom that's last on
the list. Try to come to our Twins Mothers and Fathers
Brunch from 10-1 this Saturday the 8th at JP Murphy's
Playground. 20 families have RSVP'd and they are all
great sources of information. Best of luck.

We have the same thing and use something like this -- a
cushy booster
seat:http://www.diapers.com/p/prince-lionheart-soft-booster-seat-mint-17989However,
we used this when the twins were older and did not need
to be strapped in. When they needed to be strapped in,
we brought 2 regular folding high chairs and placed
them at the head of the table in the nook. You can also
bring 2 regular chairs to the nook and put strapped on
boosters on them and just have them jammed together at
the end of the table. That also worked and wasn't long
before moving to teh cushy booster seatsHope this helps
