Today after swimming, we were in the change room with another mum and her two year old son.
‘Are they twins?’ she asked, nodding at Snort and Coconut. When I said yes, she continued, ‘Boy, do I feel sorry for YOU.’
I said something about how we had a lot of fun, and she said, ‘Fun?’ like she’d never heard the word before.
I left there thinking that I feel sorry for her. Sorry that she isn’t really enjoying her child (at least on this particular day), sorry that she imagines having another to be a horrible, hard thing to deal with.
I’m tired, yo. I’m tired and achy and am trying to figure out how to claw back some time for me. But I do have FUN. And I love my kids; I stand by what I’ve said since day one of knowing I was going to have twins. Twins are fucking awesome.

I’m very sad for her too. Hopefully she was just having a very stressful or off day and normally she’s happier.
