@rickyisaan: Questioning my parenting decisions this morning as an Aussie dad raising twin daughters here in a rural Thai village! One of my girls is unwell, while the other is perfectly fine. So for the first time ever, I’ve decided to send one twin off to school on her own while her sister stays home to recover. I think it’s probably a good decision. As much as I love how close the girls are, I also want them to develop their own independence and confidence without always relying on their twin sister being beside them. But here’s something I’ve noticed as a father of twins. Whenever I’m looking after just one child, it’s like parenting suddenly switches to easy mode! Don’t get me wrong, raising one child is still hard work, but twins are hard yakka! Having just one to look after really makes you appreciate how much effort goes into raising two little ones at exactly the same age. Anyway, we’ll be having a nice quiet day here in our Thai village with my unwell daughter, and hopefully she’ll be feeling better soon. Any other parents of twins out there? Would you send one to school while the other stays home sick? #ThaiVillage #AussieDad #TwinDad #RaisingTwins #LifeinThailand
