[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]So nice to hear non-twin  parents[b] blocking friendships[/b] and penalizing kids based on a slightly awkward situation that is not at all within the kids’ control. [/quote]

dp But is it really the non twin parent who is blocking friendships? It seems that twin parents are because you are not allowing individual friendships to blossom and you are elevating the twins' relationship.  You are family and have tons of opportunity to bond with you twin when you are at home.  Two hours away from your twin isn't going to kill anyone![/quote]

If my kid had a friend and every time I hosted a play date that friend showed up with a sibling, I would stop inviting that friend too. Twins are just siblings - they are not a packaged unit. Additionally I have two kids close in age and I know how they play together and how they play with others. When it is my 2 kids and a 3rd friend, my kids can get more rambunctious and rougher with each other than they do with kids not in our family. I don’t want another parent to have to police my kids’ sibling squabbles and that is what I would be worried about by creating a 3 person play date with 2 kids who are not mine. [/quote]
