1. Mommy of Three to Be! Said,

   You asked: will I cope? What are your other choices? Are you willing to give up one or both of your children to make your life "easier"? You have to cope. You are the one who got pregnant when your baby was only four months old. You’ll be fine.

   The 1st child is the most difficult, the 2nd is much easier, the 3rd is the hardest, and the 4th is a breeze. The reason why is, the 1st children is the one we learn the most from, the second we already know how it works, and it’s much easier because your 1st child is older. The 3rd is harder, because youre learner how to developed a large family, one you get threw that, the 4th child is much easier because youve learnt alot more than you knew with your 1st. Its mother instinct is kicks in the times we need it the most.

   You will be fine my two are only 15 months apart, someone told me it is hard for the first year but gets a lot easier after that, this is true as they are both babies it is very hard and tiring for about a year, but once your youngest is walking and interacting it does get easier, mine are 2 and 3 now and entertain each other they have a great bond.

   Its kinda hard. I have 2 boys 11 months apart and when one goes through a stage the other will follow. In other words if the oldest is writing on the wall then the youngest sees it and thinks its okay and there you go double the clean up for you. But the best way to cope with it is being sure that when your husband does come home that he give you some time for yourself and when he isn’t home be sure to have some kind of support around you so when you are stressed you have someone to watch your kids for you for a little bit.

   i had the opposite problem and it was a nightmare 4 years difference means different toys, interests and constant bickering about how they get treated differently. yes being a single parent or two under two’s will be difficult but if you’ll love your kids you’ll do great. my mum had 4 kids with a year apart and a full time job all on her own, there may not of been a lot of money but there was loads of love

   Will you cope?
   Yes, yes ofcourse you will.
   At time, you will fell like you cant, but when you look into those eyes and see them smile, you’ll realize anything is possible.
   Just be glad your husband will be around on weekends. And has a income! Think of all those mums who have no one to help on weekends, and no income but there own, and not only have to be a mum, they have to work and come home to kids.
   Be greatful all the time, it will help you cope.
   And when ever your in doubt, give them a kiss, look into there eyes and see them smile, everything will start to make sense again
   Good Luck, anythings possible.

    You will be able to deal with it and function perfectly. I have one child who is 23 months and another that is 3 months old. Yes, it is tough at first. There are twice as many diapers to change, twice as many bottles and sippies to fix, lunch to make that will be age appropriate for each child. It’s difficult to get used to. However, after a couple weeks you will get a routine down that suits both you and the children and things will be a lot easier from then on. For example I get up when my husband is getting ready for work and fix my 3 month old daughter a bottle before my son wakes up. When my son wakes up, he comes and gets in bed with me, I get up and make him a sippie of milk and some toast, then I rest for a little while longer. When I get up, I take the dogs out, then make my son his breakfast while my daughter is sleeping again. My son plays until around 11:30 and my daughter swings. Nap time is next for my son, so he lays down on the couch and that is when I spend time with my daughter by herself. When my son wakes up she usually goes back to sleep so I spend time with him after he eats lunch. Then he plays or talks to me until is daddy gets home at 3:45. If you get yourself in a routine the days will go by much faster and happier. Good luck to you

    Why doesn’t he marry you?? You could live in married quarters then you wouldn’t have to do everything alone. It’s only fair..

    of course you’ll cope, try and build a support system for yourself of other moms in your position, or family members/friends who are willing to help. Don’t be to hard on yourself, just take each day as it comes, sleep when the babies sleep. Try to get out with them at least once a day so you don’t feel so trapped in the house. Try and have someone who can give you a break once a week (on a weeknight) and then maybe for a few hours every second weekend when your partner is home for a date night.
    You’ll probably be tempted to just run when your partner gets home, and feel resentful that he gets the whole week off from parenting responsibilities, but this will probably make him resent coming home. You guys need time together as a family.
