@confusedchris “One of um has long hair, the other has long external genitals.”
What’s the dumbest thing anyone ever said to you as a twin parent?

@confusedchris Oh for me it's "one has long hair and a penis". My daughter has a pixie cut and my son's hair is halfway down his back.
@heathercc7774 Ooh I heard hairy spines are in this year

@littlelost More like “enjoy your unpaid 12 weeks of FMLA, during which we probably would’ve fired you but they enacted a federal law that says we have to keep you”
@jimmysco4u Yes!!! I had to fight to get my leave extended because they were in the NICU and still had to deal with emails and finishing work almost daily.

@futrellfrances I'm a teacher so we're expected to be available 24/7 because "it's for the kids." I was expected to be available to the sub at all times and in a way I needed to because their scores on the state test are a huge chunk of my evaluation.
Since having my babies though I don't bring work home and am unreachable to parents after the school days end. It's been so much better to leave work at work and be able to enjoy my free time.

@littlelost Lol. My boss, who has twins, said I should start a consulting business on my mat leave. Lol. My goal was get back into reading... even if a little. Nope.
@littlelost I teach high school. Somehow all the boys did not pick up that I was pregnant until I was going over the sub plans the week before. When I explained why I would be out one boy commented “that sounds boring”. I figured if boring was the best way to describe the fourth trimester with twins, I’d be pretty lucky!
@monel I also teach high school (except this year bc I’m staying home w the babies). When I told my kids I was pregnant, at least three of the boys looked at each other and laughed and one of the girls was like “so that means you…you know bc you’re pregnant” hahaha. So glad they helped me understand.
@littlelost LOL! A significant amount of my elderly male clients said this to me and I just shook my head.
@littlelost Man I am so thankful for the employers I had while I was pregnant. I was completely undecided on if I would return or not but was planning too and when I changed my mind, one of them was like yeah that’s what you should do, way less stress! Both men and both were so understanding it was almost surprising.
