I’m a mom of two fraternal, twin girls (Margot and Coraline 🩷) who are now a month old. I’ve been really adamant when it comes to making sure people understand they are two whole individuals, not two half’s of a whole because already people try to compare them in some way shape or form. Even with their names people think it’s odd they don’t match which is silly to me. Part of me is relived they are fraternal so they have some differences that make them stand out from one another because I worry people will make them feel like they have to compete.

It made me wonder what twins hear often growing up? Did people constantly put you up against each other or compare you often?

EDIT - All of your replies are really great thank you!

I haven’t taken the bus in years and even then I had a key, all I have is cash right now are they still taking exact cash? or am I going to have to find a way to put this on a card?

EDIT : Thank you guys I actually ended up not paying anything, the bus money taking thing was broken so they just let me go and on my way back the bus was packed so they let us in the back without having to pay
