[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Have you read this book? It has really helped us gain perspective. Being an identical twin is very intense - they were one embryo for a few days before they split! That still boggles my mind. Anyhow, this book addresses all of these issues:

One and the Same: My Life as an Identical Twin and What I've Learned About Everyone's Struggle to Be Singular by Abigail Pogrebin

I haven't read all the responses but was going to recommend this book, too.  I don't have twins but the main thing I gleaned from the book was that twins need an identity separate and apart from each other.  So many of the twins interviewed said they really wished they had had individual attention from parents, teachers, etc.  And so many of the ones profiled in the book talked about the intense competition between twins.  Based on all of that, I think splitting them up is the best in the long run, even if they don't like it in the short run.  [/quote]
