This email came through my inbox from another twin mom seeking advice....so glad it's not me:
"Twins Trying To Kill Me -- Ok, not literally but anyone else have problems with their twins making a mess in their rooms/houses at night? We have a three bedroom house, three kids so mathematically we have to have the girls together and the boy alone safe in his crib at night.Sunday they got up at about 6am and got into the food closet (and yes now we have a lock) and decided to poor brownie batter (powder) all over the furniture, new carpet, walls and drapes. They then topped it with a Costco sized bag of goldfish crackers. On top of that they made sure to get water from the bathroom (which now is also locked) and pour it all over the carpet-all over the downstairs-soaked!Ok, we locked the food cabinets and told them to use our bedroom bathroom at night. We locked the boys bedroom to keep him safe with a monitor.The next day Monday my husband camps out in front of their bedroom but upon leaving their bedroom door they took out all their clothes from every drawer and threw them all over the room (yes they've done this about four times before) but this time they managed to get all the clothes hanging up in their closet down and strew those too. Should we have to get drawers that lock? I've already hidden away all their toys and books-I take out only a few at a time.They are three, and identical, and very giddy about it all.We are angry and getting tired.Anyone else have any similar problems/suggestions.So tired..need...help...Mom of twins trying to kill her (maybe literally)
