I remember times when we would be almost home and I would have to say to my husband «please don't talk to me
for a
minute» and then just close my eyes and plug my ears, because the
baby (or
babies, I also have
twins) was / were crying in the back seat and it was so hard to hear, it just went against everything my mommy instincts were saying.
Out of desperation, I also briefly flirted with CIO
for my
twins, but I quickly realized that it would not work with one of the
babies — he just got increasingly hysterical, and when he did fall asleep out of exhaustion, he was awake within 30
minutes for another round of hysterical crying.
