[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]What I find fascinating is so many posters with twins just assume that because they have twins the competition or whatever you want to call it between the siblings is greater or more likely to cause problems than if they weren’t twins. However, I’m betting that a lot of the same posters only have twins and don’t have other kids, so how the hell do they know?

There is sibling rivalry and competition in every family with more than one kid. Kids just need to learn that if some kids work harder than other kids and do better in school than other kids that they will have more opportunities when it comes to college. I had four kids, and my kids all knew that. They did not blame each other or harbor ill will against each other simply because some got into better colleges than others. They knew exactly why it was happening. I find it very hard to believe that the situation is so terribly different for twins. If it is, the twins need to grow the hell up. [/quote]

Not sure why I’m bothering to reply to this comment but really?  Did your kids tryout for the same basketball team on the same day?  Audition for the same play at the same time?  Have the same math teacher at the same time, who openly compared them?  One who had a date to prom while the other stayed home from the very same prom without anyone to go with, while their twin was getting ready and posting photos? You have no idea.[/quote]

Among the kids that I have, a pair is one year apart and are the same gender.  I went through virtually all of these experiences with them, yes. [/quote]
