You Know You're A Parent of "3 under 4" When...
- ... you hate laundry day because everyday is laundry day.
- your 3 year old wants to march to the kitchen, bathroom, around the dining room table, or just about anywhere and you get tired after the first few steps.
- ... before you feed the twins, you change one of their diapers and think "I can wait to change the other one's diaper until after they eat." Or you don't change both of their diapers until after they eat because, well, you'll just have to change them both again right after they eat anyway.
- ... getting out of bed anytime in the night with twins is dreaded because you know as soon as you take care of one baby, you'll get all cozy in bed again and the other one will wake up.
- ... you secretly jump for joy when someone, anyone, calls you up to take even just one child off your hands for a few hours - even if it's just to come over to play in his/her room.
- ... it takes you two hours to get everyone ready and in their car seats to go out somewhere.
- ... you have given up trying hard for your 3 year old not to put her snotty, coughy, grimy hands all over your 6 month old twins' faces. It's better for everyone to be sick at the same time anyway, right?
- ... you realize you're sorta an expert when it comes to multitasking and laugh at parents of one who complain about not being able to get stuff done.
- ... you fantasize about running away to a remote island or your car for a few hours.
- ... you have all three kids hanging on you and you think, "I have an amazing life" then someone spits up all over your shirt.
- ... someone spits up all over your shirt and you smile because you know you'll be doing another load of laundry that day anyway.
