I once asked cotton if it would make me a bad mom to nail plywood on top of their cribs (she said no
). It's HARD, and yes, the twin interaction is the worst part of it for sure. Now, if one of mine wakes up, they immediately wake the other up - whether it's nap (increasingly infrequent anyway) or nighttime. So they NEVER get good sleep and just emerge cranky and mean from their room LOL. We had them in separate rooms, but they just go into each other's rooms anyway (and the baby needed a room to herself as she's STILL up at night), and run around and slam doors if we try to separate them. We thought about basically locking them in LOL, but they need to be able to get to the potty so that won't work. Sigh... It's all just work in progress!! GL
One more thought - can you put one in your room? Maybe BA? Then HG on his own in a toddler bed in his room? Once they get used to it/ become more mature (though I'm still waiting for that) you could put them together again? Then they can both fall asleep in peace at least. Best,
Kenny
