((six weeks after having twins...soledad was back at the office...showing them off

with two older children at home she's had years to master the balance between kids *and* a career...but some multiple moms like 43-year-old marybeth arellano (prono: ah-ray-ah-no) find it difficult returning to the work world
i had mixed feelings. i did want to come back to work // but i wanted to be with my kids too
but it was no longer a choice just months after her triplets were born. marybeth and her husband got a divorce...medical issues prevent him from helping financially.
it's like a just a // nightmare...for a little while and then you just start making sense of it, and you start getting it together and then you start planning
she does all the planning and the raising on her own...the onus on her to transport feed and clothe not just the triplets, but their 5-year-old brother as well.
the cost of raising once child to the age of 18... about 200 thousand dollars... all four over 3/4 of a million dollars...
((dissolve))
Arellano navigates the cost in part by using government programs...low-cost childcare.. and clubs for moms of multiples where they share things like hand-me-down clothes...and information
being able to network and get absolutely accurate information or information from people that have gone through similar experiences often can be lifesaving // someone who's been there and can say' honey you're gonna make it'.
((natpop))
Arellano knows she'll make it...at least financially...
what she and other mothers of multiples struggle with as the years go by...the emotional toll of caring for so many kids...
sometimes these moms have a real sense of isolation because what they're doing is so different than what most people do, and most people don't have triplets
that isolation obviously more pronounced for those going it alone--
i think the hardest part // is probably when they reach a milestone and you're so excited, but they're no one to share it with....you just turn around and say, 'oh my god look what he just did.' it's lonely in that way
lonely sometimes...but Arellano speaks for so many moms out there when she says...it's more than worth it...
