A mum of triplets has admitted she burst into tears when she found out she was expecting three children - but she now has a 'weapon of choice' to keep them happy.
After getting the shock news at hospital Brigid O'Hora says she "decided to basically evolve myself into a cocoon for the next nine months".
The expectant-mum, from Dublin, was scared of harming the 'precious little peas' inside her.
Fast-forward two years and Brigid now spends her days dealing with 'three neurotic two-years-olds'.
Writing on MummyPages.co.uk Brigid says that the shock has worn off and "I’m pumping onion rings into them and biscuits are fast becoming my weapon of choice".
Brigid now blogs her ups and downs through a dedicated Instagram page.
She wrote: "You used to think you were stressed in your job, or in college doing exams or even your boyfriend stressing you out being a bit of a muppet.
"Now you’re a referee of three irrational, lunatic, highly emotional, highly strung, frantic little individuals, who are too cute to be true, but my god, are living the ‘terrible two’ nightmare.
"I constantly find myself asking would you like a bag of crisps, would you like a biscuit, would you like to play with mommy’s phone?"
Adding: "They’re too cute for oranges now, even raisins, or chocolate rice cakes.
"They’ve been to the dark side in public and now they want the good stuff. Onion rings, chocolate digestives, chips, pizza and they’re only two. Aaaaaaah.
"Look let’s call a spade a spade, they most likely won’t end complete chocolate addicts or end up living on pizza seven days a week, but you do what you do to get by.
"They’ll soon tire of onion rings and chocolate biscuits and then that will be my chance to hoodwink them into vegan, gluten-free Monster Munch and dairy free Hagen Daas."
