Its July 2012

The weekend flew past, warm and busy and typical. On weekends we always try to keep a flexible schedule with kids and us. After a fairly strict routine we follow weekdays (now less strict with parents around ;)) we try to take it a little easy. We did the mall and the usual drives here and there. Including a short time out Friday night with friends after Aadu and Aani went to bed. We were fairly confident kids would sleep through for the hour or two and that they did. Parents visited Mohegan Sun and they had a good time.

One of the things about having twins and in case of our twins is every day is different, some are more challenging and some are smooth. But like all parents we get through it. Most of us love our homes, kids, jobs and all of us have our way to manage it because we all love what we do, in fact this whole generation is like that I think, as we got more nuclear we managed it all, so somehow it doesn't seem like a big deal. In fact even for moms in the US who have no domestic help, no kitchen help and naughty twins in my case does not seem like a big deal ;) That's what I was telling a friend of mine who is planning to have kids soon and is nervous as she thinks she lacks patience. Some people are always complaining and negative that its so tough to manage kids/work etc others feel they are the best and they do it all and everything correctly like they are the only ones to ever have had a job/kids and manage a household - both versions are complete BS according to me as they both still manage and get through the highs and lows. It is important that you want to have kids and for the right reasons. The rest will fall into place if you have common sense.

You cannot expect life to not change once you have kids, if someone tells you it has not that it BS too and how it changes is what you need to have a good estimate of as it can vary person to person. You just have to give in your best :-)
