Quads in little cot beds
I was not going to watch anything in particular, I just turned on the TV to see what was on. But then I came across that documentary about quadruplets and their parents. It was actually an interview with the parents. They were talking about their everyday life and how they managed to take care of four kids. The couple ran a small company with their own home as premises, so they could be with the children all the time. In the morning, as soon as the quads woke up, they had to take them out of their cot beds and feed them all! It took approximately an hour and a half. Then the family got dressed and the day started. The parents took turns to take care for the children, play with them, feed them and change their nappies. Their job was to sell books and CDs at a shop situated on the ground floor of their house, so one of the parents had to be there all the time. In the evening, all four kid had to be washed, dressed in their pyjamas, and placed in their little cot beds. Then, of course, they woke up several times at night so the parents were constantly tired. But they said that they were happy and they could not imagine another life at all. Well, I guess I would never manage to take care of one kid without problems, let alone four, so I really admire people like that.
