I think in our house there is a sense of organized chaos. Collectively, the twins do not run our lives. If there is something that either of us want to do, then we'll do it. But, my SO is a physician so we never know if he's going to be called in and occasionally, he will stay at the hospital overnight to watch a patient.
Now, since I'm a SAHD, I think it would be appropriate to say that they do run my days. Since we just moved, we don't do the same things that we did in New Jersey, but I'm sure that we'll have normal things that they can do once we find our way around the area.
This year was the first year since the twins were born that I've spent a night away from home. And it was possible because they've been exposed to other people besides Nate and I. Of course Nate was still there, but he's not the primary caregiver so it was a big deal for us. It was a test to see how things will be in the future.
For Father's Day last year, Nate was going to give me a trip to London for Wimbledon, and without batting an eye I told him that I didn't want to do that. I couldn't imagine being gone for that long. I think now I could go on a vacation without the twins, and it would bother me more than it would bother them. Or, if anything, Gray would have a bit of a time. But, we'll cross that bridge when we get to it.
Maybe it's just me, but I really like being with my kids. I wouldn't have gone through all of the hoops to have them otherwise.
