[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I know identical twins in their 50s. They work together in the same field, and work for the same company in the same unit. They live together (never married), take vacation days together, work at home on the same days...They do dress differently but because they do everything else the same, they are interchangeable. I have b/g twins and see the lack of respect senior management has for these identical twins simply because they are so "identical". I think no one understands the relationship that identical twins have except for identical twins. However, looking down the road, allowing them to grow as individuals out of the home and allowing them to be together in the home seems like a good balance while still respecting their wishes. That said, my b/g twins are exactly like the PP's b/g twins - they do everything together and prefer it that way.[/quote]

My mom is this kind of twin. She has lived with her identical twin her entire adult life, married or not. They have some separate interests, but not really. They are deeply connected, there's no way around it. I think OP can encourage separation, slowly and gently. If the twins insist, keep encouraging and try not to traumatize them. I think that's the best route, having seen some deep codependency. I don't know about K, I would go with the school or teacher's recommendations. [/quote]
