After N was born, I figured people would just drop by for short visits, but some people seem completely clueless about this!Lhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09616675420814694058noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1355053179502250232.post-20461049541820752112012-06-16T07:13:27.268-07:002012-06-16T07:13:27.268-07:00This is a great list!

If I may, I have a few suggestions when I helped out friends of twins...<br /><br />1) Have a list of recipes (on a printed card or in a binder) which can be easily made by guests. I'd often go over and cook a meal either to be eaten at that time, or later (even frozen for much later). Aunts/Mothers/Sisters/close friends may want to coordinate this. <br /><br />2) Have a print out for how to work your washer/dryer/dishwasher/lawnmower/vacuum/oven. Some people get very nervous using other people's electronics. <br /><br />3) If you plan to have a sleep schedule/feed schedule for the twins, make sure it's posted. You don't want to have someone making a lot of racket (mowing the lawn or clanging about in the kitchen) when everyone is trying to sleep. The friends I helped, actually had "quiet hours" of the day. During those times, we all knew that quiet activities were the best. <br /><br />You're doing a great job!! Keep it up!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
