Toddler twins, at one year...

What do you do with your toddlers when you are doing chores? How old are they now?

I am lucky because I have a ranch and I am able to see them in my living room (right now I have one of those coral gates, but I have a feeling this isn't going to last). I know we have to baby proof the house, but I just feel so overwhelmed with them getting into trouble if they are free to go around.. do you sit there and watch your twins the whole time until they take naps, or do you do chores like wash the dishes and other stuff when it needs to get done?

I knows this sounds so stupid, but I am really just dreading the next couple of years with them being mobile and able to get into such trouble..


TIA

Re: Toddler twins, at one year...

I used their activity centers and walkers which they loved at that age. Gave me the ability to get ready for work and do chores around the house.

Some people use their pak n plays downstairs so their kids can play in there as well. I never did that though.
