[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The twin part is a red herring. This can be boiled down to "is it all right if I invite myself/my child to someone else's house/event?"

The answer will always be NO. The only very rare exception would be close friends and family who regularly have both children over at the same time. Definitely not acquaintances who know the second child exists and chose not to extend the invitation.

If you feel letting one child go to a playdate without the other child is too disruptive for your family, it is on YOU to say no thank you and decline altogether.[/quote]

But, but, but, what about the BOND???"[/quote]

I have never seen so many thirsty, jealous moms as when twins are brought up.  Sorry you didn't win that lottery.  [/quote]

I assume IVF, let's be real. That wasn't a "lottery" many people wanted to win.[/quote]

Not my experience. Had twins a few months after going off birth control.  Totally spontaneous.[/quote]

Of course it happens. But almost all the twins I know are from IVF because I know their moms and they have been open about it. It's not a big deal, but it's common enough that unless they are identical I will assume IVF unless told otherwise. Because that's the case with the advanced maternal age moms I see the most often.[/quote]

You know what they compare assumptions to...

Well assuming people are motivated by jealousy is a pretty odd assumption. Don't be surprised when people make assumptions about you as well.[/quote]

NP here. When I hear moms of twins insisting that anyone who doesn’t want to host both twins MUST be jealous, I am making an informed observation that you are a nasty person. I feel sorry for both your children and I'm glad they have each other to cope with a parent like you.

Hi - the jealousy I was referring to was the "bond" part.  That seems to really irritate people and make them angry and I think it stems from jealousy. I don't think anyone should feel obligated to invite or host twins ever and that is definitely not why I said that.  [/quote]

I think you're misunderstanding.  The bond is used, by some twin moms on this thread, to justify the need for people to include both twins.  [/quote]
