Triplets and Instant Celebrity

Many people take their babies out at nearly two months of age. You obviously have no children or you wouldn't ask such a preposterous question. Now, had they been a week old...that would've been another story.

I should be happy? Happy that strangers in grocery stores felt that somehow my having triplets is a license for them to pick one up or stroke one on the face or block me so that they can snap photos of my children without my permission?

I'm not sure I follow you. My older children are half Hispanic. My ex-in-laws have very brown skin. I'd never seen them getting attention over it.

That was NOTHING like the comments that you get with just one newborn. We'd been chased down, blocked, pulled at, followed. Thankfully that part of my triplets' lives is over.

Oh that brings back some memories! My identical triplets have just turned 8 and they still get quite a bit of attention but nothing like that 1st year. I had men leaning out of vans as they drove past shouting "is that what happens when you do it 3 times a night" I very nearly had a T- Shirt printed saying " Yes my hands are full but I like it that way" The Instant celebrity is t he only thing I would change. You'll know how special triplets are. Good Luck, it just gets better & better

I'm pregnant with triplets and am taking notes watching your videos. I'm definitely going to get those bug nets to stop people touching my babies. I really want to ask about your triplet stroller. What brand is it? Do you think that you could go on public transport (bus) with it and the triplets? I live in the North East of Scotland and I do not drive. The local bus service is the only way to go anywhere. Would you recommend this buggy that you had to other triplet mums?

First off your children are adorable. Secondly, my sons were 3 and 16 months when my twins were born so I understand feeling like a freak show every time you leave the house. I've learn to never make eye contact and just keep moving. That seems to limit the comments slightly. Glad to hear it gets better as they get older.

lol, im a triplet and when i was a baby my mom would take us in a triplet stroller around the neighborhood to walk off the baby weight. so when i turned 8 y/o people would say "oh you've grown so much! how old are you now?" and everytime i wouldn't know the person. let's just say now i have a lot of friends! the sad thing is know one ever knows who i am, so ever since i could remeber, my name has been triplet.

sooo funny, our triplets are due in the next 3 weeks. we have the same stroller, its bigger than our commuter car.

I know exactly how you feel. My triplets are 6 months old. We live in Hawaii and it seems like we are a tourist attraction. It's amazing what people will say to us. Guess they never learned to sensor themselves? I'm glad to read at the end that it will get better!
