Question: Which name do you like better- Cheyenne or Shiloh?

Okay, on to the game… This is just for fun, don’t get offended!

Bad Celebrity Baby Name Game

1. One day you wake up to find you’re a sexier, more talented version of your favorite celebrity: ___________.
And like all celebs, you’re rich, self indulgent, and can’t wait to have lots of babies for no good reason! Yay!

2. As the new _________, you can date pretty much anybody you want. So tell us, who should the tabloids say you met and where?

3. After a couple of dates (and drinks) you realize you and your new hunk of man-meat, ________ are meant to be together forever. Plus you need to get started with creating your minions, I mean kids. You hurry off to Vegas and get married. Where do you go for your honeymoon?

4. A couple weeks after vacationing in ________, you take a pregnancy test, but uh oh, it comes back negative. Whats a celebrity with tons of money to do? Get IVF duh! Fortunately it works after the first try and the doc says your pregnant with twin girls. Lucky you. You want their names to reflect their heritage, so you name them obnoxious, trendy celebrity names: ________&_________.

5. You hire full time nannies for your twins and since you have all the money in the world from your new hit record by the name of __________, you think ‘this parenting stuff is easy!’ You still haven’t lost all of the baby weight yet, so instead of hitting the sheets again, you decide to adopt an orphan baby from Africa. Its a little 2 year old boy that you give a tribal name: __________.

5. You take time off from baby making to focus on your career for a while. (Unless you’re the next Paris Hilton, then you focus on shoes and booze) That’s the plan anyway. Just a few months later though, you find a text on your beloved husbands cell phone from a girl named "hot toddie" which says: "i love you babyyyy." From the long chain of yyyys at the end of baby you can tell its serious. You confront him & he admits to cheating! You’re heartbroken because he was THE ONE! Ironically, you divorce on your one year anniversary: ___________.

6. Following the divorce, you spiral into a deep dark depression & start doing your drug of choice _________ and partying every night to dull the pain. Your ex husband fights for custody of the kids and wins, because you’re a worthless druggie.

7. While at a night club one night, you meet a nice guy and start talking. Because you’re so high you can’t see straight, you decide to sleep with him. In the morning he’s gone and you didn’t even get his name. Sure enough, your period doesn’t come that month. 9 months later, and its a boy! Unfortunately, there is a birth defect from all the drugs you were on, which is a_____________. You name him a trendy "uneekque" misspelled name: ___________.

8. You love your baby but after this whole ordeal, you decide men are too much trouble. Time to become a lesbian! You hook up with the first female celebrity you see: ___________. At first its just fun and games but soon you fall in love and change your last name and the name of your child to hers: ________& _________. You go to rehab and change your lifestyle.

9. Your oldest twin daughters turn 13 (how fast time flies!) and you go visit them. You’re very sad to hear that ________ is anorexic and ________ is pregnant. When the baby comes, your daughter decides to name her Neaveh and lets you pick the middle name.
Aw crap I messed up the numbers. Sorry!

Advice for parenting Irish Twins?

Like the title says, I am a mom of 2 babies born within 1 year of each other. And no, they are NOT twins. I had the surprise of a lifetime when baby #2 arrived just 11 months and 3 days after baby #1.

Fast forward almost 2 years. My oldest daughter (H) is now 2 1/2 and my "baby" girl (L) is now 20 months old.

I honestly have NO clue how I made it this long. Every single day there are multiple moments when I wonder what the heck i’m doing. I feel like i’m drowning and just fighting tooth and nail to keep my head above the water.

H is a very complacent child she is content to sit and look at books or play quietly, but L is a huge instigator. She cannot stay at a task, toy, etc for more than a moment or two. This causes a lot of headaches because of how busy she is, and ultimately has her older sister egged on. I’ve had people tell me they’ve never seen children as busy as mine and question weather my youngest has "something wrong with her". It really hurts. My own mother even refuses to babysit them because they are too busy. So I feel like i’m burning out so much faster because I can’t rely on anyone to help when I truly need it.

The girls are constantly, and I mean CONSTANTLY fighting, biting, pulling hair, screaming, crying, you name it. And I end up feeling like i’m the worst mother in the world because I am out of ideas of how to make this stop and have the children that I was meant to have. We do have a schedule, but I will admit it’s a loose one with the main things scheduled being meals and naps. I also do punish them, I feel like i’m constantly raising my voice - or putting one child or the other in time out. I guess what it all comes down to is: I NEED HELPFUL ADVICE and someone to talk to who understands.

Thank you for taking time out of your day to read this and I hope to hear from some of you soon.

Oh, my. Your girls don’t sound like they have anything ‘wrong with them.’ They sound NORMAL! and so do you. Good heavens, you are the mother of two toddlers, of course you feel like you are burning out. ONE toddler is enough to do that — TWO of them just compound it. And toddlers fight, bite, pull hair and scream– that’s just what they do. They don’t have the vocabulary or ability to make their needs/wants known through words, so they communicate however they can — fight, push, pull, bite, scream, etc. So don’t beat yourself up about that. TRY to stay calm and model to them the ‘right’ way to communicate (yeah, I know, harder than it sounds.)

Your schedule should help you. Keep the meals and naps scheduled and perhaps add a couple of things to the weekly routine — Tuesday storytime at the library or Friday at the park.

You DO need a break. Will your mom watch ONE of them at a time? Maybe even just the ‘calmer’ one? If your children can spend one on one time with an adult, that will help them learn to communicate better and more appropriately (ie: not screaming, etc.)

Then see if you can find some time (yeah, ha!) just for YOU. My thing was my ‘Thursday Night’ — take a bubble bath late at night after both kids were in bed. Just me and a tub of bubbles and a really bad sappy romance novel and a bar of chocolate. This half hour a week really helped me keep my sanity while my kids were younger (and I still do this even though they are all teenagers!)

I can tell by how worried you are that you are NOT the worst mother in the world. You DO care, that’s why you are worried. Keep hanging in there, honey. Soon these days will be done and you will trade time outs and smudgy fingerprints for driving lessons and cell phones. Sigh.

My twins were born yesterday morning, Baby A is Ethan James who was 6 lbs 2 oz. and Baby B is Adalynn Paige who was 5 lbs 4 oz. I also have my beautiful 3 year old daughter Mackenzie Amiya. I get to bring them home tomorrow and i am nervous. My 3 year old is now asking me to keep the babies here at the hospital, and just a week ago she was all excited. Any other parents out there pregnant/have multiples? I just need some support here. Thank you.

Twin mom here! My girls are 13 months, and now that they are starting to turn into toddlers, I sometimes YEARN for their infant days, not the first few months mind you, I mean like 6-7 months old, they were sleeping well and were just fun little balls of baby, now they are getting ‘tudes and want to go in different directions, if not they want to be in the same spot as each other and argue over that spot and anything else they can argue over! (well they can’t really talk but they can squeal and scream!)
Bring you older girl a nice little gift, let her know she’s a ‘big sister’ now and let her know she can help you if she wants, and when she does help you (brings you a diaper, etc) praise her to no end! The first 6-8 weeks will be the hardest, body-numbingly hard, but if possible, try to still find time to have one on one mommy-daughter time with her to let her know that even though there are new babies in the house she hasn’t been replaced and you still love her. And try to remember she’s only 3, still a baby too. I’ve seen exhausted parents forget that and yell and expect their toddler to "grow up", and the poor thing just gets more resentful of the new baby. Good luck and congrats!!
