[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][b]Have you not considered that the 10 and 12yo would reasonably be annoyed that they still have DL while younger sibling not only doesn't have school, but they and you will gallivant off to do whatever else?[/b]

I homeschooled 3 this year: 4th and twin kindergarten.  There was a vast difference in the time the older child NEEDED to complete their schoolwork vs the younger two.  However, I also understood that it was better to have the twins do some fun educational games that the 4th grader would perceive as school while the twins would appreciate as play time.  Setting up the older kids like that seems to be begging for them to skip school to watch TV instead.[/quote]

Ugh, no.  Just no.  Don't be the mom who raises her kids to believe that they all should be treated 100% equally.  Especially with twins.  Sometimes one kid gets to go to a sleepover and the others won't.  That is life.

My son's best friend growing up was a twin.  They were lucky enough to be in the same class for K-2 & 5 and he had the other twin in his class for 4th.  Anyway, whenever my son wanted to have a playdate with his best friend, Twin A, Twin B also always had to be invited.  This was at the mom's insistence to keep things fair.  My son and Twin B got along fine, but were not best friends and honestly, didn't have the same interests.

When the twins were older Twin A was playing travel baseball on the same team as my son, we still had to take Twin B with us when we chaperoned out of town for a weekend tournament in order to be fair.  Same with when we wanted Twin A to go to the beach with us.  [/quote]

This sistuation has nothing to do with your little example. You also don't know the ins and out of why their mother did what she did. [/quote]
