Signs You’re Rocking This Multiples Gig

(Even If It Doesn’t Feel Like It)

Parenting multiples is one of life’s greatest joys, and also one of the biggest challenges. Some days you might feel like you’re barely keeping your head above water, juggling feeding, naps, tantrums, and everything in between.

If you’re wondering whether you’re 'doing it right' or if anyone else feels this way, here’s a little secret: you’re probably rocking it, even if it doesn’t feel like it.

Here are some signs you’re absolutely smashing this multiples parenting gig, with big love and respect for every little win.

1. You’ve mastered the art of one-handed tasks

Whether it’s holding a baby in one arm while stirring dinner or changing a nappy with your other hand, you’re basically a superhero in disguise. Seriously, that’s skill.

2. You’ve created your own “go-to” survival routine

Maybe it’s a playlist of calming songs, a special snack, or a favourite game that distracts everyone. Whatever it is, you’ve found your secret weapon.

3. You remember to breathe (eventually)

Parenting multiples can feel like a marathon. The fact you still take moments to pause, breathe, or even laugh shows you’re staying strong.

4. You know what baby gear actually works for you

You know how to fold/unfold the stroller, how to feed multiple kids simultaneously, and which toy keeps your toddlers busy for five whole minutes. That’s pure gold knowledge.

5. You celebrate the tiny wins

Maybe it’s kids eating something other than crackers, or everyone making it out the door on time (mostly). These moments are your trophies.

6. You’ve figured out when to ask for help

Real strength is knowing when to lean on others, whether it’s family, friends, or your multiples community. You don’t have to do it all alone.

7. You’re teaching your kids resilience and patience

By managing the chaos every day, you’re modeling how to stay calm and keep going. That’s a life skill that will last way beyond toddlerhood.

8. You’re still laughing (even if it’s sometimes through tears)

Finding humour in the chaos, like the time someone smeared peanut butter on the wall, is proof you’re not just surviving, but thriving.

9. You love your multiples fiercely

Despite the hard days, those moments of snuggles, giggles, and “I love yous” remind you why it’s all worth it.

If you’re reading this, take a moment to give yourself credit, you are rocking it, even when it doesn’t feel that way. Remember, every parent’s journey is unique, and sometimes just getting through the day is the biggest win of all.
