I have identical twin daughters 21 this year and 1 of the girls ex boyfriend said to the other “your the ugly twin”. How horrible, my girls have had these comments over the years constant comparisons. It’s all so negative for example: that one’s hair is thicker healthier, is she taller? is she thinner? She has a darker tan than the other one, is one smarter than the other? The list goes on. As a mum of twins it’s very hard watching them go through this. There’s is a lot of jealousy from others. I think you two are amazing like my gorgeous twins. xx

👏 mother of identical twin girls nearly 20 omg do you sick of the negative comments, love the positive ones but god there’s some stupid negative people out there that want to tell you how shit it must be raising twins or constant being compared to each other. My girls still get constantly compared and it drives them nuts. Oh you can’t be identical you hair looks lighter, your a bit taller, you talk more than her blah blah blah. Anyway, one twin mum to another, I so get you xxx

My twin girls same as you girls different sacs but identical didn’t test until 3 years old because we were so sick of the questions, comparisons. I think that’s the hardest part of being a twin is constantly being compared. One boy said to one of my girls your the ugly twin. How horrible is that. It’s emotionally hard for parents helping the twins deal with this comparison. Thanks for your story it’s lovely and your mum and dad are legends.

Because of his butt face I thought maybe he had a face reconstruction and he could be some criminal on the run and it freaked me out even though he was a doctor 

Susan Walker stayed in my holiday park last year for months waiting for the Queensland borders to open. Susan was bigger than life, young heart and soul. Told me about men she rented rooms to in her house as it was the only way she could afford to keep it.

Love this ❤️

Thank you for this my 3 babies are adults now and I had 2 caesareans (1 I had twins). I’m so glad to hear how much has changed around caesarean birth, when I had my babies other woman were very judgemental of it even though I had no choice. I had one woman I worked with say “so you’ve never had a baby come out of your vagina?” In a really sarcastic way. I felt belittled and embarrassed. Now I look back and feel embarrassed for her, and I think how out of touch she must be considering at the time she would have been in her 40s. Don’t let anyone make you feel bad about birthing your babies in the way you choose to or don’t get choose to. Life’s hard enough without feeling shit about how you had your baby or babies.

You described my exact anxiety and panic attack feelings, no one else understands what it is for me, it’s terrible. Thanks for sharing as it’s great to hear someone describe it clearly as I’ve never been able to explain it. xx
