I'm a stay at home mom to a 5 year old and 2 year old twins. Life is what all parents will say, "hectic."
These pictures sum up parenting without really needing a title. Someone is usually crying or making a mess. Every once in a while, everyone is even happy.

Cuddle Time (Yes, In The Crib)
lol. Actually, the mattress was on the floor inside the crib because my daughter had some Spider Man moves and would climb out of her crib and into her twin brother's crib. Had to make it so she couldn't escape!

Perfect!
I Leave The Kitchen For One Second...
But they're trying to put back the grape into the box! Mine would have smashed them laughing! :)
Or even turn your back for a millisecond....am I right??? LOL
So what on earth have I been eating since I've never seen grapes of that shape?
Sorry but cannot let this pass without saying something, children that age should not be eating grapes, they are a choking hazard and many have died. If you must then peel and cut them into pieces.https://www.popsugar.com/moms/Correct-Way-Cut-Grapes-Avoid-Choking-Hazard-39128166
To be honest, I do not let my kids eat the grapes until I cut them (on the long side) for that very reason. So scared of them choking - on anything.
Load More Replies...Yup. That's Poo
Nah easier to clean up that way. More moisture leads to smearing on the walls.
Load More Replies...This reminds me of when my cousin(I forget what age) had to urgently go #2 and wasn't able to make it to the bathroom on time. Naturally, some of the poop fell onto the floor and my cousin didn't notice and ran off to the bathroom. Then, his two year old brother came into the room, and much to his delight, it looked like there was chocolate on on the floor. To make a long story short, my aunt came in and found him sitting on the ground with brown around his mouth.
Yeah. That was fun to walk in on in the morning 😖
Load More Replies...They (my twins) totally did line them up pretty nicely for me. They were even proud to show me what they did when I walked into the room 😂
Load More Replies...Thanks For "Helping" Mommy Clean... With An Entire Package Of Wipes
My one year old has been doing this since she was able to grasp things...
What you don't see in the picture is the gate that's behind them is one of those play yards. I used to put them in there so they were enclosed and couldn't get into trouble. Well, they became strong enough to push it across the room. The wipes were inside a backpack on top of a piece of furniture. They somehow got to it, unzipped it, and got the wipes. Kids are def little scavengers! lol
Load More Replies..."Co-Sleeping Is The Best" Said No Parent Ever!
I can NOT sleep with one of my sons next to me in my bed. I always end up getting an elbow in my face ...like every ten minutes.
I know that one day I will miss having my babies want to be so close to me, but in the meantime, getting punched or kicked in the face every night is kinda annoying. lol
Load More Replies..."Pick Me Up!!!"
Some one needs extra love. The needy one must be the middle child.
"Diapers? I Don't See Any Diapers"
At least they didn't "open them". As long as they stay that flat you can put them away. My little one did the same thing but did even unfold them...
No need for them anyway. I see that you've got plenty of windows at your place.
Can't Get A Good Selfie With The Kids
3 Sick Kids. Not Fun
Looks like they're too sick to misbehave. Just wait 'till they get a little better. 😊
Load More Replies...Can we say "at least all of them are sick and you don't have to deal with this like for 3 weeks and one after another"? Or am I totally wrong here as a non-parent?
Def not wrong. It's so hard when they are all sick at the same time, but I def like it better than prolonging my nights up with a sick child. This way, it's over and done with so when I or my husband catch their colds, it is when they are starting to feel better! UGH!!! lol
Load More Replies...Just 1 Family Selfie. That's All I Ask
Oh, Thank You For Taking Off Your Diaper. Is That Poo Behind You?
My pediatrician had a great solution! Cut the feet off of footie sleepers and put them on backwards so the zipper is in the back. Then the kiddo can't get the sleeper off to get to their diaper.
That is perfect!!!! I'm gonna try it. Although, with twins, they'll prob end up helping each other take off the other one's sleeper.
Load More Replies...I feel your pain I deal with this Everytime there's a nap or bedtime. Smh
What about pant diapers? It helped us a lot
Load More Replies...@Janet: diapers that you pull up as pants and when you need to remove them, you just break them on the sides
Like Pull-Ups or Easy-Ups? Yeah, that doesn't work either. They just pull them down. I seriously was thinking about duct taping the diapers on when they sleep! lol

Potty Training 1 Is Hard. Potty Training Twins Is Exhausting!
Yes, at least they're sitting. My son was 4 when he finally (finally!!) decided to use the potty, and he was out of diapers after that.
my oldest daughter potty trained herself by spending so much time in time out she had to bring her potty chair lol
Just Sit On The Stairs And I'll Take Your Picture. Not So Simple

This Is Not What I Had In Mind When We Decided To Have A Playroom
OMG, we had one of those racks with the cloth bins. Our 3yo destroyed it. I mean he literally pulled it apart to bits to where it was totally unsalvageable. I hope this one is more heavy duty!
I tried that as well. We made the 3rd bedroom into the playroom & just put both babies in the nursery together. That didn't work at all. Not only could we not get into the playroom cuz of all the toys but my older boy would continuously wake the baby cuz he wanted to play. We ended up moving the baby back into the former playroom & just distributing the toys among the 2 rooms.
You need to remove a lot of those toys when they are sleeping or not around.
I had packed everything out of reach and would give one-two set of toys at a time. When done it had to be packed back up in it's storage box and handed in before being given another. I started early, 2-3. If I was around for the play time, things changed, we'd take out more toys at a time, of course I packed them all back up after.
Yeah, but where's the fun in that? lol
Load More Replies...It is a normal sized bedroom. I dare not take a pic of the whole room 'cause a fire martial might be knocking on my door! lol I clean it, they destroy it within minutes.

Never A Clean House
Definitely... even when they are crying or fighting over something😉
Load More Replies...Like having three tiny tornados going through the house constantly. I can't imagine.
actually its more than possible i have 4 kids 3 all young together I was an OCD, neat freak , who had no problem keeping my home clean. I woke about 5 am made a few loaves of Banana bread for breakfast and dessert that night. I cooked breakfast and while keeping it warmed I got kid number 1 awake and bathed as she had to go to school by 11 am, kid number 2 would get awake diaper changed and big sister would eat her breakfast while number 2 got bottle and bath. kid 3 same routine thankfully all of them were out of diapers by time number 4 came along. It can be done, u just have to make a routine
It's Always Fun When Your Kid Wakes Up Covered In Blood
It takes a person who has never had to children to say that. This is a realistic look at how it is to be a stay at home mom, a job that in today's world is underappreciated and looked down upon as not being a full-time job. It may be stressful and at times you just want to sit in a room and cry but thats part of being a mom. No mother has a home that is perfection, no mother has never had poop on her hand or gum in her hair or a child that has marker or food or throw up on them. I'm sure even your mom when you were growing up went through the same thing. But the rewards of being a parent far out way all of the gross chaotic moments along the way. Do not judge someone that has given us a look into their daily lives, if people didn't let us see how things trully are, people like you would just keep having the unrealistic view of how it is to be a parent.
Could not have said it better myself.
Load More Replies...my oldest daughter would projectile vomit over 8 ft from where i was holding her. She nursed and it happened until she was about a yr and a half
Don't have kids. It's real. If you find it repulsive bugger off. It's a but of light hearted fun which allows us mummies need to feel normal. It's not all rainbows and unicorns. Grow up.
Load More Replies...Did I Mention Potty Training Is Messy?
I used a seat that fit on the toilet. I never had to clean one of those horrible things, and the seat was portable.

Very truthful and funny. You have a beautiful family. Your life looks as hectic and fun as mine. I'm sure we'll miss it one day, but sometimes we just need to laugh it off. If not, we'd go insane! (Mom of 4 yr old and one on the way).
Thank you. I def will miss this time. It's going by so quickly already. Congrats and good luck with your 2nd!
Load More Replies...God bless you my child!! Try not yo think about the fact that you're going to have three teenagers at a time.
Totally respect you and your choices, but holllllly c**p I am so glad I am never having kids. These pictures make me wanna sit on the futon naked with a snifter of brandy and watch obscene movies on the tv in relief.
I wish all of ur kids will love u forever and be thankful and always be thankful to have u as their mom.
Loved this. I cannot imagine having three toddlers at the same time. Yikes. I often say I can't imagine having to take care of a child when you're just as sick as they are. Blessings to you. This was really eye-opening and funny at the same time.
I really admire mums and dads of two, three or even more! I have just one wonderful son, but even this one little kiddo sometimes can make me insane and frustrated. Thanks for showing the world the truth! I hope every parent get a bit more honest about their family life, so that others feel better about themselves. Love
We are not alone! My goal with this post. Thank you for your comment
