Do you have 1 twin that is more willing to be babied?

Jacob is all "I do it" when it comes to everything. He gets all mad if I even think about helping him with something. Henry on the other hand is content as can be to let me do everything and will go so far as to complain to me if I don't do something he thinks I should be doing.

Anyone else noticed such differences between their twins?

 

Mine are like that! Noah wants to have things done for him and Sophie will actually refuse to eat unless she feeds herself!! My babes are similar in some ways but mostly quite different

 

Yup, my DD is big on helping out and doing things on her own and my DS has no problem with letting us do it for him. I now make him do things himself.

 

Yup, my DS if very willing to let DD take care of him, always has.

 

We have that too! My baby who was the easy going one as an infant, has become the stubborn, I'll do it myself one, and the harder one, has become the chilled anything goes baby. For me at this point, I prefer the chill out attitude, the independent one wants to dress herself, then gets frusturated when I try and help, she insisted on making her own PB sandwich today, which I only went along with since she wasnt feeling well, but in general everything takes twice as long, cause she wants things done her way, I am glad I have at least one who doesnt give me a fuss.

 

That's so funny, because I've experienced the same thing!! Nate used to be the happiest, most easy-going baby, but now has permanently turned into "Natehole"; he's willful, stubborn, and if you try to help him do anything (especially eat) he gets super uncooperative. Jack, who I used to call my "drama queen" is now a super sweet, affectionate toddler who loves to be held and often cries "HELP" when he can't fork a piece of food.

I think this is just another really cool thing about having twins. You get to see how different they are, and how much they can switch things up!

 

Sabrina is 5 and still loves to be babied. I have to insist that my older kids don't baby her about a lot of things. She's tiny and legally blind, and lots of things aren't as easy for her physically as for Sydney. But most of what she wants to be babied for she can do fine, she just doesn't want to. I've really put my foot down the last year and a half or so (mostly since I learned the extent of her vision problems), because I want her to be self sufficient. It's not always easy though, sometimes it about breaks my heart. But she's so much better now than she used to be.
