Yesterday, while getting my nails done, I overheard one of those conversations that just made me laugh. Two women were getting pedicures, it was obvious that they were acquaintances (they were speaking very loudly), and were discussing a mutual friend. The friend they were discussing had a set of twins--and seemed to be having some struggles with the twins. They conversations evolved into whether it was easier to have twins or to have a 2 year old and a newborn. It was apparent to me that neither of the ladies had twins or had ever had a 2 year old and a newborn. The ladies finally agreed that it was much EASIER to have a set of twin than the 2/newborn combo. I wanted to jump out of my seat the and say "Are you crazy???" Having experienced both scenarios, I would take the 2/newborn in a heart beat!!! Not that I didn't enjoy EVERY MINUTE (lol) of both situations--it was soooooo much easier when Jenson was 2 and Allie was born. Sadie and McKay were such sweet babies, but is was still hard. Even today, there are those moments when I just want to throw my hands up--like when we have to leave the house at 3:45am to catch a 7:00am flight, and the twins decided to be the "evil twins" and spend they day un-doing beds and suitcase etc. all they while laughing and saying "we are the evil twins, ha ha ha ha".
I guess the old saying holds true--don't judge someone until you have walked a mile in their shoes.
