# You have twins?
Can I ask just one question: Do you dress them up in matching outfits?

Sometimes, though, they decide to wear the same clothes (they were 5 last weekend). We have doubles of clothes cos we buy most clothes for the boys in the sales and you don't get so much choice!

We DO dress them the same if we go to a theme park/ball pit etc - it's easier to spot them if they are both wearing the same bright top! (Also, if we lose one, we can hold the other one up and say "we're looking for another one of these!")

Yeah, i don't like it when you see twins with the same hair, same clothes etc etc, and they're just bundled into "the twins".. it makes each one lose their own sense of individuality. I don't know what the psychology of it is (for the kids) because maybe they're happier that way because they have a natural bond with their twin, but I think it just must make later life harder.

I used to think that twins were born at the same time. Now that I realise that it's just one after another, it seems more logical. I always thought "that must really hurt"- especially for quadruplets or whatever.

Really you should get each one a T-shirt with A and B written on them or 1 and 2. That'd make life easier. And only refer to them as twin 1 or twin 2.
