My husband and I only had two kids and we did everything together. We were the perfect family: patient with one another, involved with other families, went out to eat or took short little get-aways with the kids.Three years ago we got the surprise of our life when we found out we were expecting twins. Fast forward to now. We have two year old identical twins who have a rare form of muscular dystrophy. They cannot completely walk and we do physical therapy 2-3 times per week. They are very cranky/demanding little boys.I feel like we never have great family time anymore. Our house is so much more tense. It is extremely hard to go anywhere anymore. We do not go out to eat, travel, or do much of anything, like we used to. I am so worried that our two older kids are not thriving like they used to. I love my twins so very much, but miss the days of feeling like a good mother where I could have time for each family member. Does anyone have any advice? I think the “go to” advice is to get a sitter and get away with the older two. Maybe that is the best/only advice out there. But it would be wonderful to be able to finally do things as a family unit like the good old days. via /r/Parenting https://ift.tt/2J4MQyZ
