Twin Mommy Guilt?

Maybe it's because I already know what it's like to have just one baby. But, I feel so bad that I have to share my time between Fiona & Saoirse. Like when I'm holding one & the other one is looking at me so sweetly I feel so guilty. Believe me there are times that I have all 3 of my children on my lap. This is the reason we waited to have baby # 2. I wanted Patrick to be a little independent. Maybe it PMS talking. But, I just wondered if anyone else felt that way?

At times I do, I really feel bad when I am feeding one and the other is screaming, but what can I do, I feel like they will start to realize that scremaing is the way to get my undivided attention.

What makes me feel better is that they will never be alone, and it must be amazing to havea twin, while at the smae time sucky since you never have 1 on 1 time.

As they get older I will do seperate things with them. So that they do have Mommy alone time.
