When most people hear that my husband and I have quadruplets, they assume that all of the headaches and tribulations were concentrated in the first few years of child rearing. Obviously it was difficult handling four babies, but as they grew older, our job didn’t seem to get any easier. Now that they are all out of the house, I feel like I am finally getting a chance to relax after years of constant chores, errands and refereeing for arguments.
Our visits are now quite amiable, and I look forward for the occasions when I get to see them all together—which is usually on the holidays. This does rekindle one problem with the children, however: buying presents. Usually I try to find something that will appease them all, that way I don’t have to spend countless hours trekking around town and scouring through dozens of stores. This year, for example, I bought them Saeco espresso machines, as they have all developed an affinity for brewed beverages.
