Second time around I had another singleton and he was perfect - slept through everything and life was great! Then came the triplets and well, that's hard no matter how you look at it :) So, I totally get it but it can go either way! Not to burst your bubble or anything...

I love them so much, but sometimes... Like yesterday when I had to buy double the school supplies for first grade. If my children were spread out then I would have less expense all at the same time. I know that sounds bad, but really, twins (+) are expensive. I wanted to have one baby so much just so I would be able to give he/she all the attention it needed. However, be careful for what you wish for...I now have two sets of twins 18 months a part. (ages almost 7 and 5) They are wonderful children!!! But somedays.... : ) I have felt the same over the last 7 years. I love them so much, but sometimes… Like yesterday when I had to buy double the school supplies for first grade.

I love all of my kids, but I wonder what it would be like to have just one at a time. I do love that they are growing up together and always have playmates. I have had the same thoughts.

I love both my kids for so completely different reasons. lol They both complete me at different times. But goodness, there are times I think that just one would have worked. I couldn't pick one of course. :) But there are times it just seems like it would be easier. No worries, it doesn't make you love them any less in any way. I'll stress that mine are 14 and 11. So it's just a thing we always deal with. Maybe it will go away when they move out? LMAO I will back you up and say you are not alone.
