My guys are 22 months old. I am almost two years into it, and I never could have imagined how hard it would be.

There are, of course, moments where they hug and play. Tiny moments where I feel so grateful. But it feels like mostly these days they are biting each other, hitting each other, pinching each other, biting themselves, and the worst of all (which makes me feel the most guilt) is pushing each other away for my attention.....crying, crying crying to be held by me. They are almost 2yo and I feel like I am always carrying one baby with another one or two pulling at my leg to be held. It is this awful combination of feeling both guilt (they didn't ask to be triplets, am i giving them what they need?) and suffocated by them.

I know I probably need to figure out a way to structure their days more and that they spend way too much time just running around the house. But for me, taking them all out by myself sometimes feels equally daunting. I truly don't know how the rest of you do it.

Is this typical behavior given their stage of development? Are my feelings as a mom of triplets normal? Any practical suggestions would also be super appreciated.
