True story. I have friends my age and older who started with kids before me. When my two were born, those friends all warned me "Wait until they are teenagers and then you'll see..." And, I discounted the warning and thought not everyone is the same.
Mine are now 17 and 19 and my friends were right. Teenagers are a challenge.
My daughter is the oldest by five years. When she was little I shook my head wondering why other kids on the playground (mostly boys) couldn’t be a civil as she. Then we had a boy! 😵💫
Our family tree had twins on both sides every other generation. Based on this we should have had twins. Looking back I used to joke about what would have been worse, three year old twin boys or fourteen year old twin girls.
As a preteen my daughter had a friend who looked like a twin. People asked me what it was like having twin girls. In high school my daughter was 5’10” 140. Her “twin” was a 5’2” fireplug. They were both softball players.
