Leaving the twins with the grandparents the first time
You are overwhelmed and very tired. Your wife the same or more. But you are a couple. You need some time to be alone. However, there are two new kids living at home. It is very important for the couple to spend some time together so it is very common to ask the grandparents to stay 4 or 5 hours taking care of the babies.
It seems something simple, but we tend to complicate everything. We become so nervous that we tell the grandparents 3 or 4 times all the tasks they have to do, forgetting a very important detail: they were in the same situation 20 or 30 years ago. They know what to do, they know how to take care of babies.
However , we leave our home feeling guilty for leaving our kids. And we call home one or two times in the night to see if everything is ok.
Despite all your fears, spending some time together alone is something you should do, in order to mantain a healthy couple, to continue the wonderful journey of growing up twins.
