I know. The fear of being different starts early too. We don’t want our kids to be different so we teach them to fear it as well. Not just with words either. We teach them with the clothes we buy them, the toys we want them to play with, etc. It’s really quite sad.

Isn’t funny that everyone would like to be “unique”, but nobody really wants to be “different”?

Sometimes you just have to live in order to learn. Hope you had a happy Turkey Day!

Lisa, I can’t tell you how much that means to me. As a mother of twins, i am already seeing others’ need to ‘compare’ my babies. Almost daily we hear “…oh, she’s the smiley one’… or “…she is the fussy one’…

I’m not sure what it is about twins that people like to compare them so much, it’s strange to me. I have two kids that just happen to be the same age. I know them for who they are, not for who did what first, etc.

Having your perspective on what it is like to grow up as a twin makes me a better twin mom… Thank you for that.
