DOUBLE TROUBLE...(RAISING TWIN DAUGHTERS)
I'm a mom of twins.....no big deal right? WRONG! Oh, it's been great, but these teenage years just might be the death of me.
15 years, and 7 months ago I was told I was having twins. Okay, so I passed out, I'm allowed.....I was told six years prior, after my first two children, I couldn't have any more children, so I was intitled to pass out, right?
Those first few weeks of parenting twins were trying, but I was determined to be the best ever. I breast fed both, at the same time. I had them sleeping, eating, bathing, pooping, etc., all at the same time. Which by the way, saved me a lot of time. They were born six weeks early, so they had a few medical problems, but nothing I couldn't handle, I was SUPER MOM. (At least I thought I was.)
Years have gone by, and now we've reached the teenage years. Oh, they aren't troubled children, just typical teenagers. What happened to Mom's little helpers?? And weren't they never, ever suppose to start liking boys? Forget that! Now, at the tender age of 15, they know it all. You would have thought I would have learned from my first two children, wrong again. Twins feed off each other, it's a "twin" thing. They finish each other sentences, have the same dreams, have their own "made-up" language, so Mom has no idea what they are talking about.
It's interesting the things you can learn from twins. They have their best friend with them the whole time. They love each other with a passion, and would fight to the death to defend each other. There are no relationships, I know of, that even touches the bonding twins have. So, when they decide together, Mom is wrong, watch out. It's like dueling with two teenage WWF fighters. I stand my ground, but their are times I have to just toss my towel into the ring. I don't stand a chance.
So, if you're a mom of twins, I would be glad to give advice on raising twins up to the age of 13, after that you're on your own. If you're a mom of twins, in the teenage years, any advice you could give me, would be greatly appreciated. After all, no one ever told me what it would be like to be the mother of twin, teenage girls.
By the way, if you would like information on twins in commercials email me and I will put you in contact with a twin talent agency.

I am a single father of twin daughters (via surrogate). They are only 3 weeks old and I was googling for some advice. Like you- I am doing everything simultaneously, they are on a tight schedule, I barely sleep, but they are such a joy. Now I'm starting to get worried about those teenage years you are talking about!
I am a single mother of twin girls and they have been such a blessing. But to be honest I am really struggling now that they are almost 14. They are really good girls in general but they won't budge when it comes to giving me some credit and they disrespect me by some of their ways like, when they are being willful twins and gang up me. Example: bday parties have to be a BIG deal EVERY year. They want all day swimming, then 8-10I sleeping over. This year I asked if we could have a real simple bday year since money is tight. They are acting like brats. Then i expressed that we need more money and thought the best way would be to get an exchange student. One of them is fighting me real hard. I am feeling a lack of sensitivity to my plight being a single mom opperating as both mom and dad. This is hard and I even have a church family so they are grounded in a solid Christian foundation. If anyone has any ideas or has been through something similar please let me know. Thank you
Hello -- I am a mom of 16 year old identical twin daughters and am so thankful that I found your blog! I'm experiencing EXACTLY the same thing you are; it is comforting to know that I am not alone. I, too, was once "Super Mom" but have been demoted since they hit the teenage years. I think going through adolescence is a challenge in and of itself for both kids and parents alike. I've heard that parenting teenage boys and parenting teenage girls each have their own unique set of challenges and struggles. Now throw into that mix IDENTICAL TEENAGE TWINS! It can get messy! Like you, I have felt ganged up on. They have each other, always. I have no one at home. My husband works overtime a lot and travels often. When he is (physically) home, he is almost always emotionally unavailable and detached. My family and friends have been as supportive as they can be, but they don't live the TWIN THING and can only help so much. When my girls were young, I was the "go-to" mom. I had all the answers. Oh and was fun! Now they go to each other. Keep teenage stuff from me (who they like, whats going on in school, etc.). And I am not 'fun mom' anymore. Now I am 'wierd mom'. I realize this is all normal, all part of the teenage experience. However, it doesn't negate the pain that a mom who loves her girls more than words can describe feels when she is blocked out of the picture. They are good girls, very talented and I know that I am so very blessed. It's just that when they become very willful and stubborn and even disrespectful at times, it hurts. Thank you for your blog! As I said before, it is comforting to know I-Am--Not-Alone! :) (PS: Prepare yourself parents -- it gets really crazy once they are seniors in high school. AND expensive! We have been college hunting and they have exactly the same interests and focus for their future, yet would prefer their 'own' college. Ugh!)
I am a lover of twins. Get to take turns fucking them raw. Tongue punching their little clits, making them scream and call me daddy
