Wife and I are the proud parent of a 4 year old and just found out we're having twins. We are both independent contractors who own our business and are worried how well this will play out. Both tattooers that require us to be gone 8-10 hours a day at work and usually spend most free days drawing, preparing for appointments, doing social media, answering emails, etc... With our first born It was really hard making the adjustment but we got it down to essentially handing him off so we could take turns when needed. Now with him AND two newborns the worry is sitting in of making sure they all get adequate attention while trying to tend to our own careers, goals, and work. We can't afford not to work, don't get paid time off, and the idea of both of us handling both babies but still finding the time to take care of work needs seems daunting. Or if I'm working all day but still have to come home to draw the following day and she's burnt out, want to still offer help without falling behind. Just looking for any and all advice to make sure we're moving in the right direction before they're here! If more info is needed feel free to ask. New to this sub and grateful for any help! I'd like to add we ARE excited but I just want to try and prepare beforehand and ease as much anxiety as I can for us.
