Hi Mona, You will just have to do what you need to do while they sleep even if it's just an hour or 2. You really do need this time for yourself. On weekends have your hubby watch the twins for you so you can go out for a few hours with the girls and have lunch or do a little shopping with your friends. You really need a break from all of your responsibilities.Enjoy your time while you can. Lol
A Friend.

well you dont unless you leave them with someone..
trust me i fell the same way. but after a while you get use to it. i have a 6 year old, 2 year old, 11 month old and one due in 3 weeks. so i get alot of alone time.lol
just ask a grandparent to take them for a night while you and your hubby go out to a movie... or dinner. or even ask your hubby while you go shopping...
other than that you are stuck with them.....
good luck

Being a mom just means you have to sacrifice, and have many long years in front of you to do this, and hopefully you will find it in your heart to do it happily. However, should you feel the need to get out once in a while, arrange things with your husband.

Try leaving them with Grandma and Grandpa for a day of pampering for yourself. Or make the hubby play mommy for the day. Or do you have friends who you trust that would be willing to sit for the day?

If you don't have someone to watch them, you can always look at your local churches for a Mommy's Day Out Program. It is usually just one day a week but it gives you some down time tha isn't devoted to your babies.

Hunny sorry to bust your bubble but "me time" stopped exestiting the second you poped that first one out. Heck my son is almost 4 and I had to fake sick today from work just to get some me time.

If you are bottle feeding them, you can rest and let other people feed them for you. I have a friend with triplets who gets as much help from other people as she can so she gets a chance to rest. It is extremely difficult to get any time for yourself with children and babies, you will gradually get used to less time to yourself, and enjoy the moments you do get. It does get easier, I promise and there is always full time education-thankgod!!!!

Arrange for a responsible adult to look after them for awhile.... I know what you mean my son is 5 and my daughter is 11 months and i am still waiting for some me time!!!!

Hmm apart from leaving them in Daddies care, or one of the Grandmothers, you don't! Thats the tough side of being a Mom!
