TS has mentioned the importance of staying organized, but it's also crucial to prioritize self-care and keep sanity amidst the chaos of raising triplets. It's a challenging juggling act, and TS knows that balancing three different plates isn't a mean feat!
It'd be helpful if TS shared their secret on maintaining composure while managing the demands of young multiples. Strategies for self-care and maintaining sanity would be a welcome insight, as it's easy to forget its importance in the midst of all the chaos!
I agree with you that maintaining composure and finding time for self-care is crucial. To be honest, it's sometimes hard to keep my cool, especially when faced with the unexpected challenges that come with raising triplets! But over the years, I've developed some strategies to help keep myself grounded.
One strategy I rely on is creating a daily routine with plenty of structure. Having a clear plan for mealtimes, naptimes, and playtime helps keep the kids on track and gives me some much-needed predictability. This also ensures I set aside dedicated time for self-care, which helps me stay calm and present for my little ones. Whether it's squeezing in a quick workout or enjoying a quiet cup of tea, those moments help me recharge amidst the demands of multiples.
Another secret up my sleeve is accepting help when it's offered - and seeking it when I need it! It's so tempting to try and do everything yourself, but learning to delegate and ask for assistance has been a game-changer. Whether it's getting the groceries delivered or having a friend watch the kids for an hour, some respites make a huge difference in maintaining my sanity.
Finally, I've learned the art of lowered expectations - at least on some occasions! With three young kids, it's impossible to do everything perfectly, and that's okay. I used to get stressed about preparing elaborate meals or ensuring the house was spotless. Now, I focus on the essentials and let some things slide. Order in pizza for dinner or let the toys pile up - survival mode sometimes has to take precedence over perfection!
