hi, my name is mike, i am a 23 year-old single father of twin 15 month old girls. my divorce was finalized on nov. 14th 06', been doing this for a few months now, but i know its for the long haul. just wondering if there are any pointers i could get from some of the single mothers of twins or from any single fathers of girls or twins. im just taking it day by day, i dont really have any plans as to what im going to do in the future with raising them(ex. "wheres mommy" "why" "how come my half brother doesnt live with us" and the dreaded "TALK").

I was 20 when I became the single father of fraternal twins, boy and girl. I don't know about you, but back then I started out improvising and doing things as they came during the daily routine. Bad idea, specially with two kids, work and no one to help, organized routines is the way to go, no schedule can be followed a 100% but things get done eventually.
Twins sometimes drain your energy and patience, but look forward to some good times with them too. Don't beat yourself up over the things that never seem to get done, and perhaps most importantly, don't compare yourself to other parents, I did that a lot in the past, it's allright to try to improve for your kids' sake, but no matter how hard I try, I can't be a mother for my kids, I can't be a female figure for my daughters, and that's that. As long as you're sane and the kids are safe and growing, the job is getting done.
