]]> Twins get a lot of attention, there is no doubt about it. Sometimes you’ll love it and get a huge sense of pride. However, other times you will be sick of hearing the same things over and over again.

These are some of the most common (well-meaning!?!) responses you are likely to get if you have two (or more) …

Twins

You’ve got your hands full!

  • Two for the price of one!

  • You’ve got your hands full (especially if you have another child)

  • Are they natural? No they are made out of plastic!?

  • Buy one, get one free! (yes, indeed BOGOF) 

  • Just wait until they’re both walking – Why what’s going to happen? 

  • Double trouble! Sometimes followed up with, “but double the joy”

  • I bet they keep you busy – you wouldn’t believe. Let me tell you about it…  

  • Just wait until they’re both teenagers

  • Do you feed them yourself?

Getting ready for a feed. Yes, I did feed them myself…

  • Just wait until they’re both (insert any milestone you wish)

  • Double the work, but double the joy

  • Are they good?  – no they tag team so that they compound my sleep deprivation

Twins

  • Ooo, I don’t know how you manage – you just have to! 

  • Multiple mums are special (!?)

  • I always wanted twins – It is amazing just how many people say this. Always amusing to ask if they’d like one 

  • Are they identical? What these twins that look nothing alike? These twins where one is a boy and the other is a girl? Are they identical!?

I would love to hear of any of your top ones. Please comment below.
