Having two young children close in age definitely had its challenges, especially during the initial years when their needs demanded so much attention. Finding time for each child's needs and ensuring enough quality sleep were my biggest struggles. Coping strategies included creating a rigid daily routine with plenty of rest time and getting help from family whenever possible to carve out some me-time. Having a support system really helps, as does remembering that this phase is temporary!

Sleepless nights were a killer, especially since I also had to juggle work and looking after my older kid. Unfortunately, there's no easy solution - you just tough it out and survive on caffeine and hope that they outgrow the phase quick!

Also, as multiples grow up, managing their different personalities and needs is a challenge. One tip I found useful: schedule some one-on-one time with each child, like a special outing just the two of you, to make sure they get individual attention. It helped me build a closer bond with each kid and cope with their unique demands.

Any parent of multiples here agree? What other challenges do you face?
