Hi Desire, welcome! When I was a mostly stay at home mom I found play groups to go to with the kids. It allowed me to socialize with parents and for the children to become accustomed to being with peers. As they grew they could play and learn great skills. I wonder if you called your library if they would know. Also the governor's hotline and the congressman's hotline. They can locate the info and get back to you.

I bet it's hard being young with such small babies! It would be hard on me to have 1 small baby!

Your mother sounds like a piece of work. The only blessing here is that the kids are too young to know about their gifts getting stolen. Young children are easily satisfied.

You have an opportunity to raise those babies of yours in a way that helps them feel secure. You have so much power. Also, in my state there are parent's hotlines. It's okay to call and say hey, I am lonely and feel guilty about missing out on the baby days. There are also national hotlines you can call on parenting support.

I hope this helps. Wish we could all take turns holding babies for you and chatting. Most of us here are particular to babies. Good luck with everything and keep posting.
