@sensistar Haha it was totally a joke. I really do hate when people say that in front of the kids. But if I had to choose let’s just say I wouldn’t have a hard time….

@schawinga Does anyone else with fraternal twins get a lot of disappointment they aren’t identical from strangers?

Or that you don’t have one of each?!
@needingpeace I’ve been told things like “it’s too bad” mine are both boys 
so rude.

@schawinga “You’re going to spend a fortune in period products in the future” 
“What did you do to have twins?”
“What did you do to have twins?”
@needingpeace Tell them that there is a box you tick on the baby order form.

@schawinga When people think that having babies 9-11 months apart is the same as having twins. It pisses me off so much every time.
@jesusisthelight I’ve had someone tell me that her having babies 10 months apart was harder than me having twins.. I just let her live in her delusions otherwise I’d punch her
@schawinga This one enrages me
@schawinga At airport check in the woman at the desk checked my kids’ passports several times and kept looking at them and trying to figure it out and then finally this occurred.
Check-in desk: “I think something’s wrong, they have the same birthday”
Me: “Oh no that’s right, they’re twins”
check in desk: “Omg that’s so cool, same birthday and everything”
pauses,
looks between my wife and I back and forth
“are you two also twins?”
I’ll clarify we are a same sex couple but we look NOTHING alike. Think one freckled blonde and one clearly mediterranean. She was just so stunned by twins that life lost all meaning for a moment.

@schawinga Random man "Are they twins?"
"Yep..."
"REAL ones?"
so I replied "no they're fake" and he just stared.
Not dumbest, but most horrible, a random padder by said "Oh, you must have done something really bad in a past life" I was so taken aback I had nothing to say

@schawinga Still pregnant but at 34 + 6 I can’t wait to stop hearing “So WhEn WiLl YoU dElIvEr?!?!” Everybody keeps interrogating me after every doctor’s appt and I’m like 1) I’m not full term yet 2) I have zero complications. Why would I be induced/schedule a c section already? We’re all healthy and my doctors are going to let me keep being pregnant until 37 if it’s safe for all involved.

@lourde One of my favourite parts was during pregnancy, watching people ask when I'm due and then the horror on their face when I said months and not weeks remaining.
My other favourites from pregnancy were security guards following me through stores in case I went into labour (I was huffing and puffing with my son's head up in my ribs). Or people saying I was huge "are you sure it's not twins?" "Oh yeah it is" "but you're so tiny!" Um make up your mind am I tiny or huge?

@heathercc7774 Yes, people get very uncomfortable when I tell them my due date 
@heathercc7774 I remember every look of horror I encountered when I was pregnant. I was disappointed that they were thinking I was huge and also amused that they looked embarrassed after I said "it's twins."
@lourde Everybody told me I was going to have preemies, nicu-stay and a c-section. Every day from the moment I told people it was twins.
I ended up with none of that! And I realize I was very lucky but I just hated that everybody kept stressing me out about what complications would happen to me or how my birth HAD to be. I just wanted to take it as it came

@schawinga “Omg! There’s two!” Like no shit. I was there when they were born. Or when people ask “did you naturally conceive twins?” And my husband says “No, we were drunk. So stay away from whiskey and Coke”
