“...but how could somebody beat and torture ONE for weeks?”
Yeah - that would be really unfair, with the other twin not getting the same treatment. /s
I have twins too, girls. They just turned 17. Those first few years were VERY difficult. And while sometimes I felt like jumping off a bridge (wouldn’t of course - where would that leave my kids), but it never occured to me to hurt them.
Just the other night we were telling them how we would drive around at night to try to get them to sleep, and then carefully get them out of the car seat into bed. (They were collicky). Often it was my job for that, so mom could try to get a head-start on sleep.
It has been a strange Decade and NOT just because of Obama. I went from a high paid sales executive to a nurse maid for five boys between 18 months and eight years.
Like I told my wife ‘No one can ever say that we haven’t had an interesting life.’
