Parenthood

twin brothers

We have been blessed with twins boys and they are identical twins. I would say it is very difficult to raise twins in Canada because we don't have anyone to help us. India is my home country and in India we would have had family to help raise my children. Today I just want to share my experience through this article. When my twins were small, all of my work was doubled. They cried at the same time, they were hungry at the same time and at night, due to my tiredness, I only changed the diaper for one of my twins and forgot about the other one. Many times I would get confused about which twin I gave the medicine to first.

Now my twins are nine years old but still they confuse me. When they get dressed up in warm clothes I really don't know who is who. Although it is a hard job being a parent of twins, I am enjoying every minute of raising them. It is a great experience to have.
