You Might Be a Mother of Multiples If...

This is really cute and maybe more funny to me than most people because I can sympathise! The original list has 50 entries so I deleted some of them and kept the ones that made me smile. Enjoy!

You Might Be a Mother of Multiples If…

…you refer to singleton pregnancies as “singleton pregnancies.” (Swistle)
…you’ve heard “double trouble” and “you must have your hands full” more times than you can count. (Eva)
…your standard answer of “I don’t know what it is like to have one” can be spouted off to a variety of comments you get about having twins, without too much of a thought.(SusanR)
… it takes you two hours to go to shop for just milk and bread getting the stroller & babies in/out /in and out of the car and then dealing all the people that stop you to ask “are they twins?” and tell you how adorable they are after saying “double trouble !” as well as all the people who tell you what they know about twins. (Trish)
…you can get through an entire shopping trip without once making eye contact with a stranger. (Alice)
…everytime you hear, “Double the trouble” you immediately say “Double the fun” and move on. (Meleah)

…you’ve become good at picking things up with your toes. (Eva)
…you can nurse two babies, talk on the phone, and eat your dinner simultaneously. (Eva)
…you get so excited when you see a double stroller — thinking maybe just maybe there is another twin mom you can talk to. (Meleah)
…you keep up with current events in the news by catching only the headlines (and infer the rest of the story) in the few precious moments after the kids are down for a nap, you’ve picked up some toys (you know, so you don’t trip and break your neck), eaten leftovers (usually the kids’) for lunch…all before someone decides that 45 minutes is the perfect length for a nap. (H)
You gravitate towards other moms of multiples because you know that they just get it. (MommaBean)
…a break to you is parenting one baby. (Eva)

…when overwhelmed you comfort yourself with the thought, well, there is someone is even more overworked than me because they have triplets…quads…etc… (Meleah)
…you have twins, then have a singleton, and yes, you were right about how easy just one baby at a time is, but no one believes you except another mother of multiples! (Marion)
…if you nod and smile knowingly, teeth clenched tightly, as your friend empathizes with you because she “had kids really close together, so that must be 'just like' having twins.” (H)
