I learnt things raising my twins (Ishel and Nadie). Before they were born, I purchased parenting books, read parenting forums and searched the Internet to prepare to become a parent. Below are some of the things I have learnt raising twins.

Making children is an easy task and a wonderful
experience. However, raising children is another
experience full of lessons and surprises. I learnt
things raising my twins (Ishel and Nadie). Before
they were born, I purchased parenting books, read
parenting forums and searched the Internet to
prepare to become a parent. Below are some of
the things I have learnt raising twins.

3. It is very tiresome to raise two babies
 I learnt that raising twins is a complicated second job. I
wake up at night every other hour to calm either Ishel
or Nadie. Ishel usually wakes up crying for breast-
feeding. Whenever he cries, he wakes up his sister
Nadie. If I had one baby I would just wake up every
time he or she cries to feed and calm him to sleep. For
two babies, you have to feed both of them and calm
both of them. It is very tiresome but doable.

4. It becomes harder to go out anywhere at anytime as
it used to be
 When I became a parent of two babies, my daily
schedule changed. Before my babies were born, I used
to go back home play my video games, listen to music
and sometimes hangout at a bar. Now, all this time is
spent playing, feeding, dawdling, car-seat-fiddling and
changing diapers for my babies. I think this would be
the same if I had one or two babies.

5. In general, my individual perspective changed
 Before my babies were born, I had different values and
habits. I used not to save or value money. I used to spend
on anything I wanted but when my babies were born, I
started saving money.
 Today, when I go out to spend money, I think about my
family especially my babies. I opened up an account for my
children. I do save a specific amount of money in that
account every two weeks. If I had one baby, I believe I
would be saving less in that account.

6. Babies do reach development milestones at a
different timeframe
 My son start crawling at seven months and my daughter
started at her ninth month. My friends advised my family to
consult a doctor. I was stressed about this.
 I remember my wife telling me to sleep and stop worrying.
However, time went first and things worked for the better. I
accepted that every baby develops on his or her own
timeframe. This would have been different if I had one
baby because I wouldn’t be able to compare.
