Hello you guys and welcome back to my channel, my name is Laraddiji, if you're watching
this channel for the first time you're most specially welcome to this family
have you seen the video about my experiences and how I survived my school
education years hmm stop procrastinating and watch it
already alright don't forget to like this video and subscribe if you've been
inspired from what you hear today, so today it's all about um School of
Fraternal Twins this is one of the five sections of my channel so feel free to
explore the other channels after you've you know seen this video alright there's
tons of information that might you know speak to you or you know information
that you might learn from okay so I'll be talking about how babies are our
natural alarm clocks yep you don't need to set your alarm well let's get to it I
remember when I was pregnant with the twins you know right from the womb the
twins were able to wake me up from my sleep and not in a cute way
my daughter especially will be most mostly in one spot of my belly for a
while and that would make me sore it would always felt like her head or her butt
was pressing too hard or something it was like getting a pressure also but
from the inside and nothing changed with every possible position change I made
until she herself moves away from that position, when the twins were born I was
on my night duty you know caring for them and then my mom and my husband
would handle the morning shift with them so that I could get some rest, I for one
was very excited about the kids and since they were my first children I
didn't have any recent experience to compare with, honestly waking up every
couple of hours at night to feed and change two children was something else I
don't even know how I did it but now with the birth of our son I knew exactly
what to expect and I was prepared plus it's one baby
even though every pregnancy and baby is not the same so that's just how it is so
let's get to it why do baby cries in the first place or
on cry in the first place as you all know something is not right they can't
talk or sign language so the only way they can communicate with you is through
crying and then you know you have to start guessing we're ruling out one by
one by one if it's hunger maybe it's a diaper change maybe it's a position
change or maybe they just want to be held if you have children you know how
it is in the first three months of their lives you know it's busy it's taskin
it's testing and hopefully you know rewarding what I realized was whether
you like it or not when a baby cries you should get up and run, towards them I
mean don't run away from them there are tempting times though, trust me
especially when you have more than one with twins the chances that the other
one will wake up when one of them starts crying is very high so when when my son
or my daughter start crying I just go the first I get there fast I gets the
crib the faster I can remove the crying baby from the scene then the more chance
of the other baby falling back to sleep as soon as possible
after eating or after a diaper change if I waste any time I will suffer the
consequences especially when I've just got back from
work and I'm trying to sleep when I'm trying to get a little bit of rest trust
me this is important so this is why it's
very important to think very deeply before deciding to have children if you
are the type of person that smoothies three to four times before getting out
of bed in the morning when you have babies trust me there are no snoozes you
just have very irritated and frustrated babies if you don't get your butt up
immediately. I took care of the twins for the first three months of my maternity
leave and also while going back to school part-time, the thing is when I
went back to work there was a bit of a struggle I worked nights
I would usually come home around 9:00 a.m. the next day from 6:00 p.m. the
previous night that's about 15 hours out of the house
13 times a month roughly and the kids will still need a mom when I'm home
while I still need to sleep so whenever the kids woke up I would
wake up right there's no sick there's no sick time for mommies
kids don't know anybody schedules they don't know you have to eat they don't
know you have to sleep they don't know you have to do laundry they don't know
you have a life they just eat sleep poop selfishly on your life most of the time
I ran on three to four hours of sleep that was interrupted very frequently a
day okay so they were definitely my alarm clock because it was constantly
ringing I learned quickly that to be a parent one has to have a lot of patience
lots of perseverance lots of Tolerance and lost lots of
self-control, I don't even feel like I was a mom until my kids were able to say
mummy and my goodness they would tap and tap my hand away or my leg or my tummy
or even step on my toes as they scream or cried mommy mommy mommy mommy mommy this
mommy dad mommy that mommy this so that was then
what's happening now right the twins are three years old now and
they their schedule is basically still the same when I sleep at home as in when
I'm off from work they still wake me up unless we're going to church or
something or or they have an appointment or you know something we have to wake up
really early for then then we'll wake up earlier, if you're single or you're
the cousin or you are the uncle the aunt, the grandparent the friend, the
neighbor and you find yourself taking care of a child or children that are not
yours and that child will be spending the
night ask a lot definitely ask a lot of questions from the parents before you
are alone with them all right allergies, attitudes, behaviors how to calm the
child down what do you need to keep away from the children
you know what you need to keep the children away from you know obviously
the dangerous stuff the knives you know keep them away, the pens you know
depending on their age and their developmental stage like the twins at
their age now I still need to keep away all my pens my markers you know they
have to be in my line of sight at all times I have to see what they're doing in this
age of technology you can always call the parents God forbid if anything
happens but like my dad always says prevention is better than cure
it's better if I know how to prevent a situation from happening all right
unless you're a professional then by all means have a good night, you will need to
follow the instructions you are given exactly and you might have a good night.
if you don't have instructions or maybe the child was dropped off to you in an
emergency situation then please sleep lightly okay children have a mind of
their own be ready for anything keep your guard up be ready to improvise
be ready to be enlightened I feel like young teenagers who are
newly sexually active should be supervised should be supervised as they
babysit a child who had who has a minor cold or maybe babysit a child who's
teething or maybe a child who's not feeling too well and this can be their
contraception method yeah taking care of a baby okay
I know you know some schools have you know fake babies that you take home
trust me there's nothing like having a real baby cry and you trying to
figure out what's going on okay so this is exactly what happened to me I took
care of a baby that was teething and the poor baby was in so much pain
I tried all I could and by the time the mom came back from her outing I'm like I was
done I was exhausted I tried I told myself I'm never ever ever having a kid
I was so scared and decided I wouldn't even have kids until I was absolutely
ready, I had twins when I was 27 and I feel like I was in a good mental state
to take care of them parents are kind of like servants to a
certain extent to their children you know changing diapers cooking meals
wiping up messes and cleaning up the house a million times a day and I feel
like if yo're the selfish type and your needs have to conquer others then
taking care of children will be a rude awakening so good luck to you guys
starting out hopefully I've opened your eyes out a bit so child care what makes
it all worthwhile is that no situation is permanent, children will grow and
learn to be their own selves and be on their own and also you get to appreciate
your parents in your life because they went through a lot raising you whether
you like it or not this reality this realization hits you okay, it hits hard
when you have kids of your own especially for those who have broken
relationships with their parents. some questions I would like to ask you guys
is what have you done to make life easier for you if you have if you have
more than one or two children regarding getting them ready for the day, I feel
like no matter what I do it still takes four or five hours just to get ready okay
please I need some tricks all right, for those of you who have twins
do you really wake up the other twin if one of them is awake for food or a
diaper change honestly why punish the other twin
really I don't do it when one wakes up I take care or the one wakes up I take
care of that one I'm not gonna wake them up that's like selfish I don't know what
you guys think what have your experiences been you know taking care of
someone else's child when you were single I've told you mine was horrible
I'm like I'm never having kids all right so that's all for now you guys
you know I just wanted to do a little bit on this topic
