Buying Two Of Something For Twins, Doesn’t Necessarily Solve The Problem! (Short Vid Showing Why.)
Buying Two Of Something For Twins, Doesn’t Necessarily Solve The Problem! (Short Vid Showing Why.)
3-9-2011
We are 1 yr & 1 week old…WOW!
It’s mine, so don’t even try to play with it!
Since I have sick babies today who are ornery beyond words, I have very little time, so I’ll make today’s post brief. We have discussed the serious side of twins…do they really need two of everything?
A lot of times no, but when you have two babies fighting for a toy on a daily basis, like mine were over the Baby Einstein take along tunes, it’s worth the $9 to keep the peace in the household…HOWEVER, it does not always solve the problem. Especially if one of your twins is a bully to the other.
Yes, sadly I have one twin who just is super head strong, likes to have all of the power, and make her poor sister cry, and come running for mommy. I feel really bad for her, I do, plus sad in general as I expected at this point in the game they’d be playing nice and be best buds, but it certainly isn’t that way 99.9% of the time.
I remember thinking, ‘Well, twins will be tough, but at least they’ll have each other so I don’t have to be the exhausted main source of entertainment when they get to 9 or 10 months or so.’ HA..I say, as two babies come at me, fighting for the primo spot on ‘ol mom’s lap, pushing each other out of the way. Not quite what I expected, at this point.
Here is a sad example of how sometimes two of something just isn’t good enough. If Annie could grow a third hand then even 3 of something, wouldn’t be good enough. Check out the shot video clip below to see what I mean.
Breaks my heart 
. Any hope here, twin mommies? My boys were nearly Irish twins, and were pals from the get go. I don’t really know how to deal with this situation, if I even can at such a young age. I just sheild Allie as much as possible, and hope for the best!
Scream fest…got to run! Love you all!

Me and my daughter watched this together and she said, “I’m glad I wasn’t a twin because I probably would have been the nicest one.”
Do they do this all the time? One is so meek and mild and the other is so bossy LOL You definitely stay busy!!!
Sorry I can’t give any advice. I just had one child who rarely cried and I played with her all day. She didn’t even know there was such a thing as being selfish for many, many years. It rather spoiled her.
Well, my 5 year old started out a twin & it vanished, which means an early loss of one twin, and to be brutally honest, we were more relieved then we were sad, because we just KNEW twins were not in the cards for us, and it was God’s will. How ironic that 4 years later, he felt differently. GOOD ONE GOD, lol. But I often joke that she wouldn’t have allowed another baby to share her space, because she’s such a head strong, spoiled yes…attention seeking child, who has gotten the world, and us wrapped around her little finger for so long, that she never would have been a good twin, THAT is for certain. She must have gobbled up all of the attributes of the other’s personality, because I often joked that she was LIKE having twins, but never thought I’d found out…NOW, I say she’s like triplets. Weird because my boys were always soo easy going and by far needed less of my entertaining. God should have given me the twins at 19 and let me have the easy ride of the good singleton babies now, but he makes no mistakes, there is just a lot of irony is all. We get older, we lose some energy and patience. It seems backwards to me..haha!
ANYHOW, they do do this on a daily basis yes. I hope they learn to play nice, and start entertaining eachother, so I can give my other kids more of me. That is the hardest part. One especially, sticks to me like glue, and while I secretly love it now…I know I may be creating another monster. To answer your question..yes! One is harder then the other, more bossy and head strong, and even a bit pushy already. Physical altercations at 12 months old? Woe is me. I try to look at the big picture. Eventually, they WILL be friends, and it will be good for them, but I guess some fighting is to be expected as they grow older, like any siblings. Just got to wing it:) Thanks for popping in!
Hugs,
