[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP, everyone who has twins, boys or girls deals with something similar (I assume), since your post was a bit vague.[/quote]

My mother was 19, a single mother, with all sorts of problems when she had identical twin boys (my brother and me). I wouldn't have traded my life with my brother for anything.  We were a team, whether in goofing off (very good at that), academics (both Phi Beta Kappa in college and went to and succeeded at some of the best grad schools in the country), and we were D1 scholarship athletes who did very well in NCAA competition.

My mother had issues, but she was the anti-DCUM parent.  She never complained, never ever hovered, and expected us to have consequences for our actions whatever they were.  Very. few rules and put a huge emphasis on being mentally tough and to embrace competition. She did not finish high school and frustrated us at times because she could barely write. But she had no pretenses, and was a salt of the earth person.  A great boy mom.  She never looked at having twins as a challenge
