The high cost of twins

NY magazine article on the impact of raising twins

My one real life friend with twins *IS* having a hard time - partially I think due to her husband's job. (He's an ob/gyn and should not go work on little sleep - much more risky than the average job done when tired.)

Thoughts?

The thought of multiples has always been scary to me - not just the preterm risks, but the amount of care one baby takes is amazing - I just don't think we could double it. I still have those feelings of shorting someone of care as is since my two are only two years apart. I am in awe of people who survive it.

And for the record the end of the article got me teary eyed. But at least little Isabelle was loved while she was there, which is more than some children can say.
