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.
