[quote=Anonymous]My daughter has several sets of twins (and a triplets).  It's difficult sometimes b/c she is better friends with one of the kids than the other.  For playdates, we generally have both over and on the occasion where we don't.

Birthday parties is tough.  We invite them all even though that means I have to invite 7 kids right off the bat, 3-4 of them whom she is not good friends with (or friends at all in the case of 2 of them). But, I know the moms and they expect them to be together.

This is very different than growing up. I had a small graduating class (close to 50 than 100) and 4 sets of twins.  They were never in the same class, they had their own friends, they were not expected to be at the same events/parties.  Of course, many times they were but it was not expected.

My own two cents is that parents of multiples should not expect them to be a package deal.  I get that they are close but they also have to learn to deal with disappointment and not being together all the time.  They can do that and still be best friends.  All the twins (esp the girl/girl twins) growing up managed that just fine and remain super close as adults.  [/quote]
