Identical or fraternal?

Stay calm even when both of them are crying.

Keep in mind,they will grow out of that stage..

I am a twin. Let the twins be as close as they choose to be. My twin and I even had a secret language. Yes we grew out of it...
Don’t make em dress the same after about age 6...LOL

They are not the same personality even if they are identical twins.

Hire a trusted babysitter, and have time for Mom, grandma and all caretakers, separately and together.

Do mark their clothes and toys with their initial, when 2 and older, it will save many, many arguments.

Take time to relish in the awesome wonder of it. And thank God.

Well, since there are one of each, fraternal.

LOL, stay calm, serious? I’ve got a wife, a daughter, a 2 year old grand-daughter, twins on the way and 5 dogs.

The only benefit is I have 2 acres.

Thanks for the insight.

Dittos to what Freddd said. I was a twin, didn't have twins. My twin had twins, though.

Mark the clothes, treat them as individuals. Let them compete against each other. If one starts falling behind, help them catch up with the other one. Attempt to be fair. Mom used to keep a financial record of all Christmas and birthday presents. Totals expenditures were kept equal.

One other thing. Be ready for all the stupid questions and cute remarks.
