Do your kids like being twins.

The girls are 9 and identical. Even though they have different haircuts and Zoe has a freckle on her cheek people still get them confused. They hate that people see them as 1 and not 2 different people. They do say that they really like being twins because it is special.

So do your twins like being twins?

 

I don't know if they do or not. My two are NOT identical and I've made it a point to separate them as much as possible. They do love each other and have a very tight bond, I can only imagine that identicals have a much stronger bond though.

Alice brought home a paper yesterday from school that said, "in my family I am the twin" which made me laugh a little, because you can't be a twin without one. There really isn't a "the" twin.

 

Mine do. But they're so very different. People wouldn't guess they were sisters, let alone twins. And when they do find out, they're shocked because of the huge size difference. Sydney really looks a good year and a half to two years older. So I think they like surprising people. They purposely dress alike a lot of the time. And most of the time they get along really well.

 

My girls like being twins very much. They're best friends and really complement each other well. From day one they've had very different personalities and likes/dislikes so it's been easy to help them develop their own senses of self. But they both mention how glad they are that they get to share a bedroom, and that they have someone to play with at home. From time to time they'll comment on how lonely single kids must be without a friend at home. Like everyone else's identical twins, though, they do get somewhat frustrated when people can't tell them apart. Piper has chin length hair in a bob that looks mostly straight (due to the cut) and Cricket has wavy hair down to her mid back, so you'd think people would figure it out... but they still are confused half the time.

 

That would depend on which one you ask. Cassie thinks its great. Holly not so much, in fact if she could be an only child with no sister....it would suit her just fine. She had a conversation with my SIL in which she told her that she sees the close relationships other twins have and wishes she could have that........but with someone other than Cassie.

 

My girls love it. They are very close and very rarely get mistaken for each other even though they are id

 

I'll have to ask mine, I don't think I've ever heard them say one way or the other. I know sometimes when people make a big deal about them being twins, they don't see what the big deal is. They also introduce each other as "my twin brother" and Josh as "our regular brother." :lol:

 

A few months ago, I'd say Kiefer wouldn't be so happy with it, but they boys have been getting along very well. Cameron loves having a twin brother. He boasts about it all the time! He definitely loves having a twin. Kiefer I'd say loves that he has a brother, but he only really appreciated having a twin once they were separated in to their own classrooms. He has his space and can enjoy having Cameron around to play with without having to fight over everything he wants as his own. They really do get along well with each other and it's so wonderful listening to them play with each other. No one can tell they are brothers much less twins. They look nothing alike nor seem to behave the same. I think that helps Kiefer with his need to be an individual. Cameron would have loved to have an identical if it were up to him.

 

I hated it as a kid too.

 

I don't know about mine, I'd have to ask them! Certainly none of them have ever complained about having a twin, and both sets get along well with no more than the normal occasional sibling squabbles. Of course they're not identical so they don't have that thing of people not knowing who they are.

 

They love being sisters, and they love being the same age, but they absolutely loathe that no one can tell them apart. They refuse to dress alike anymore because they absolutely hate that people confuse them. their #1 complaint from school is that everyone gets them confused. They are very fascinated by other twins as well (there are two other sets of identicals in their grade, one from each set in their 1st grade room), and they always ask me about them being born, and have a ton of questions about twins.

 

I'm not sure, I haven't ever asked them. They do get annoyed by people always calling them the wrong name. But that problem is solved now that Lily wears glasses and Amelia doesn't. I know I've told them how lucky they are to have a sister in their class b/c no other kids have that. But I'm not sure if they really understand what it means to be a twin versus a sibling.

 

My girls love being twins. They celebrate twin day on the 24th of every month because they were born on the 24th. They are fraternal so they don't have the issue of people not being able to tell them apart.

 

The same as above, depends on which one you ask. Jessica loves having a sister (most of the time) Jorja not so much... she gets upset when Jessica says "my twin sister", she says why can't she just say sister.

 

It does depend on who you ask. Clayton would say YES!! Audrey, not so much. She wrote a note to me and told me in the note that she loved "Mommy, daddy & Evan." Growing up a twin, especially in the teenage years, I hated being a twin. Jen was 'pulling away' from me and was just not so nice. It's better now that we live apart.

 

Mine love being twins. They thankfully don't yet roll their eyes if someone asks if they are twins. They don't get upset at being called the wrong name. We're still working on getting them to separate voluntarily. They are in different classes because we insist. But if we allowed, they would do everything together. They still share clothes, a room, toys, etc. Heck, they even share a bed at time. They say they are going to live together as adults with their wives. I fear I may never be a grandma because no sane woman will want to marry either of them.

 

My son will argue to the end that he is not twins with his sister, he gets down right angry about it...lol! Reese is a-okay with the idea but Ryder...not so much. :laughing:

 

Mine like it, even though sometimes it seems like they don't like each other very much! One of the first things they tell new people (when they're willing to talk to them at all) is "We're twins" or "I have a twin sister."

They look nothing alike and Amy is 3 inches taller, so no one ever mixes them up. That probably helps them see being twins as a special thing rather than an annoyance.

 

Mine think they're movie stars. We STILL get stopped at least 2 to 10 times everytime we go out. It's incredible. We have random people asking to take pictures wITH them! and they're five. They love it. They are inseparable. They don't know any different. And they don't know to "Hate" it.

 

My girls like being twins (and same age sisters), but they don't really look enough alike to have people confuse who they are...well, except for a dim wit neighbor who still can't figure out who is who.

Just this morning they were saying they wanted to dress exactly the same and have their hair exactly the same like the set of identical twins at school do. But, if they truly were identical, I am guessing they wouldn't like that idea nearly as much.

 

Mine like it-- they describe each other as 'twin sister'.


They are very different in personality and physical apperance so I think the 'twin' adds something that connects them since otherwise they are very very dissimilar.

 

Mine are identical and they love being twins. When I asked them what was the worst thing about being a twin, they said the worst thing is that they could never be in the same class. (Our school district has a policy of separating twins after pre-K) Even my singleton daughter tells me that she wishes she had a twin.

 

nope...my boys have nothing in commen besides there birthday.
Cosmo skipped a grade and is taller. He makes sure everbody knows he is 58 minutes older hahahahah

They have asked...Mom will we still be twins when we grow up?
