Useful tips for 3 under 3

[Arimeh]

So howdy

Just after some useful tips for those of us who have 3 under 3. I'm not expecting it to be easy (although DS will be 3 a few months after the newby comes so technically I won't have 3 under 3 for very long!!)

So just after some tips that YOU found that worked for you, things that you wish you would have been told beforehand, and if you could do anything different than you did - what would it have been.

I won't have much family support (ie, any!) DH has to return back to work asap, so he'll probably only have a few days off, and my mum is flying down for probably a week after he goes back, but thats it. I'm on my own!!

Please give some reassurance that I will survive!!!

You are a strong woman you will do fine!!!!

Make sure you have a stash of chocolate!!!! It fixes all mummy issues LOL

Good luck I have no idea but wanted to give you a hug.

Have a friend with a sister who is willing to babysit!

(I'll be talking to her this week - so we can set something up!)

maybe look in to getting food home delivered, ie coles, aussie farmers direct etc.. even if its just ofr the basics like milk and bread on a regular basis you'll do ace

AJP - coles and woolies don't home deliver to this part of tassie ... wahhhhhh... I've already checked.. LOL

Sterla - I'm tellin ya, she'll change her mind once she meets him... although I did have a thought of calling her when I go into labour to watch them for me.. LOL

Hollo... wine for the kids ay... hmmmm.... might be more effective than anything else

Feeb - thanks

Sorry no advice, Mel - but I also have 3 under 3 so I can offer you a bit of solidarity.

So far it hasn't been that bad (I'm 2 weeks in, I'm sure I have lots of war stories to come). I have a very settled baby this time which is really helping ... or maybe I'm just too busy to notice her being unsettled
