Wow! You have probably figured out by now that they ALL need attention. If there is any way at all possible, find someone to watch the triplets for an hour or so a couple of times a week and spend some time with just the twins? If they are only 2, they are still babies too. Or maybe you and your husband can take turns a few evenings a week spending time with them (read them a bedtime story, play, whatever). Enlist friends, relatives, whoever, to help you out. These twins still need mom and dad too.

Hope you got your tubes tied because you seem to be a Fertile Myrtle. Either that or use birth control and get off the Chlomid. Serioiusly. Once you had twins, why did you even think about taking the risk of having another multiple?
Enough of that... the Terrible Two's are just that. It's tough enough with just one. Your husband really needs to step up and help out if he's not diverting the twins attention away from you and the triplets. And then, yes, you need to set aside time for the twins as well.

My twins got jealous too. You see they never got to have any one on one time with you, they've always had to share you even though they are the oldest. Triplets will require an insane amount of attention from you, your husband and grandparents so naturally the twins feel left out. They are only 2 so they don't really understand what is going on. All they know is all these little babies came suddenly one day and now mommy is too busy with them to play and cuddle.
I personally don't understand how you have time to even turn your computer on. But maybe instead of computer time you can play with the twins. Bed time can be a real bonding time for you guys. Lay in their toddler bed with them and cuddle and tell stories. They will look forward to the time with you at night and hopefully be more forgiving during the day.
Best of luck!

Getting a set of twins to get used to triplets is going to be a lot of hard work. 2 years of age is a terrible stage. Triplets will take a lot of your time and I know you don't want the twins to feel left out. While the triplets are sleeping, do activities with your twins or you and your husband take the time to switch caring for both sets. But it is a stage that they will get out of. You could always put the twins on an activity while you are caring for the triplets. Like during feeding time of the triples, set the twins at a table and give them paper. put pudding on a plate and let them paint the paper with it with their fingers. It's okay to eat because it's pudding so you will not have to worry about them. Feed a triplet and let the twins paint on paper with pudding. During nap time of the triplets would be a great opprotunity to do activities with your two year olds. Like pudding painting, possible coloring, or go to wal mart and buy an activity set for two year olds. Good luck!

Get them involved by bringing you diapers, etc.
Make them feel a part of the new arrangement instead of outsiders...as newborns can do to the older siblings. Have them sing to the babies etc, bring them toys. Tell the twins..see this was how little you were, etc. Over time this jealousy will cease. A tip: when the newlies are crawling around stealing the other's toys....before any problems take the older child to the side and show them the trick of playing with a different toy...the baby will come crawling and drop the previous toy. This saved me from my boys ever fighting over toys.
The younger children find whatever the older children have as far more interesting. Think creative and you should have 5 loving siblings! '
Peace and lots of luck and love!! what a household!

Wow! Multiple land! Wow!
Have you tried asking a family member or friend to come over? Have them watch the babies for a little while and focus on the twins. Right now they are just wanting more attention. They are used to sharing you with each other, but you just increased the family size by alot! Make a point of telling them how big they are and asking for help (getting diapers, pushing the stroller). They just want your attention. Its hard with a new baby, but with three its just that much for affection they need. They just want assurance that they are still just as loved as before the triplets birth.

Be sure that your twins are receiving lots of attention - not easy with triplets, I know. Perhaps you can get someone to be with your triplets for a while a couple of times a week to allow you to concentrate on your twins. It doesn't have to be anything fancy - your time and attention is all they really need.

Two year olds can't handle a big explanation but let them know that the triplets love them as much as you do. Let them know when the babies get bigger they will all be best friends and have lots of fun together. Let them help take care of the babies. Fetching diapers, holding their hand while you're changing them, taking the diapers to the trash, making them feel like they are important when it comes to taking care of their siblings. It will help build their self esteem and not encourage jealousy as long as you take some time with them when the babies are not in need of anything. As long as they understand that the seven of you are a family and you all work together as a team. You and your husband are so blessed. Good Luck.

**Make sure that the twins realize that they triplets are not replacing them.
**Give the twins each a special job (or a few) so that they feel important around the house (something as simple as getting cereal on the table or picking out clothes for their new babies)
**Make sure that each twin gets special time with mommy and daddy (even if it's just for 5 minutes)
**Allow the twins to have special time to bond with the babies
**If it is something that could work try taking the twins on a special trip (park, musuem, out for a special treat) without the new babies
Good Luck, you've got your hands full!
