Whether you like it or not: mothers of twins and their children are always the center of attention: in the supermarket, in kindergarten, at family celebrations. And unfortunately, they get asked the same questions over and over again.
Very few twin mothers have probably said before: I really want to be a twin mother! And then tried it until there were two children in the cradle at the end. But whether you wanted it or not, as a mother of twins you are in the limelight. the bigger one stroller with the two little people inside, people are attracted to the supermarket like moths are attracted to a light. And most of them have a lot to tell you – whether you want to hear it or not.
Twin mothers can no longer hear these 8 sentences
1. Are these real twins?
No, they’re fake. They only pretend. Of course, people want to know whether nature wanted it that way – or whether someone helped. But either way, it’s nobody’s business!
2. Phew, that must be exhausting!
Yes, it’s exhausting. It’s just TWO. But the pitying looks don’t help. And yes, it’s beautiful too!
3. I couldn’t do that…
That’s good when you’re so self-reflective. Then you should rather let it be.
4. The belly must have been huge.
Yes, of course the belly was big. There were also TWO PEOPLE in there! And yes, with triplets it would probably have been even bigger.
5. You’ll still have a lot to do there.
yup, that’s how it will be! That’s life.
6. How do you tell them apart?
Or also: Aren’t you afraid that you might mix them up? No, I know my children. And since we both love them equally, it wouldn’t matter in the end. As with all stupid questions, the same applies here: humor helps!
7. Were they premature? Twins often come earlier…
Yes, that’s how it is with the twin experts in the world: They just know. Often the question behind it is: Are the two lagging behind now? Or is everything normal? Yes, it’s all fine. Let’s get on with our lives then…
8. Did you want twins too?
You can’t choose that. You’re just happy. Basta!
