1920s: Josephine and life as a mother of three

 

In the Sinclair household, Josephine is busy as only a mother of twin infants can be. Grace and Hazel are luckily both fairly easy to deal with, Grace being calm and Hazel sunny in their disposition, but twins are twins, and between feeding them, changing them and taking care of them when they cry, there is very little time left for life outside the house. Still, Josephine loves her girls and loves the time she spends with them.

Josephine's busy schedule is of course affecting Thomas, who as a toddler also needs his mother. She does her best to spread her affection and time but it is not always easy. Thomas is learning to play on his own more than before, but does feel jealousy towards his sisters. So much better then at weekends when he can convince his daddy to play with him. And dinner time is also good, then he has both mummy and daddy for himself now that he can eat on his own as the twins are usually asleep at that time.

But there is of course perks with having siblings too. Sometimes, the twins can be played with, and they always laugh when you blow raspberries on their stomachs. They also love it when you sing to them. Thomas likes to sing!

And sometimes, when the babies are sleeping, Thomas can persuade mummy to play with him too. Those are the best times. And when she reads to him when he goes to sleep, even if daddy does that more often these days. 

For Josephine it is a bit of a struggle to maintain the house to the standard she wants, but she finds time for the never-ending pile of laundry when the children all sleep. Time for herself? She barely makes it to the bathroom, and showering is done when everyone else has gone to sleep, which means she's the first to rise in the morning and the last to go to bed at night. Still, as hard as it is, Josephine still loves every minute she has with her babies and will happily live with a little less sleep at times. Especially when she can pride herself with her beautiful family and her hard working husband who just received his first promotion! It might not always be easy, but as Josephine and Nash are both about to turn, Josephine does think they have the perfect life.
