THAT IS TRULY AMAZING!!! WELCOME TO THE BOARD. THERE ARE MOMS WITH TWO SETS OF TWINS, BUT I THINK YOU HAVE ALL BEAT ON THE CLOSEST AGE RANGE. HOW DO THEY ALL GET ALONG??

[FlockOSheps]

Thank you for the welcome! They all get along surprisingly well. I try to keep in mind that they are NOT all the same age. Giving the girls some different priveleges, like a half an hour later bedtime, because they are older. :) They are often mistaken for quads, and I am constantly asked, "Are they ALL yours?!"

Hi Karleen and Welcome to the board! I have 4 children and get the "are they ALL yours?" too. I must say you must be an amazingly patience mom to have been blessed with two sets of twins so close in age (not forgetting the other 2 singletons!)! :)

Hi Kimber. Thanks for the welcome. When we walk out of a restaurant, people will smile and say, "Aaaaah, they must have had a birthday party." And I say, "Uh, no; they're all mine." LOL

[Kimber]

LOL I bet the people then send a good part of their dinners wondering how you could have that many that close in age! :p

[FlockOSheps]

Yep!
People ask the strangest questions. The one I love the most is, "Did you take fertility drugs?" And I answer, "Do you think I would have done this on purpose?!" :)

[Kimber]

LOL that is a good one! :cool:

That IS a good one. I'm putting it in my file of come-backs.

Hi - My name is Margherita and I have 2 sets of fraternal twins too! I have all boys - ages: 4 and 2 1/2...As you know, I am going crazy - the only thing that saves me is coming to work 3 days a week - where I can have peace and quite!!!

I love them so dearly but they do drive me crazy !

I would love to talk to you to help me survive ! Does it get easier as they get a bit older - Everyone tells me that - but I'm not sure it's true!!

Regards,
Margherita

Hi Margherita. I only have one set of twins, but I too work 3 days a week and it is my sanity break!!! I can empathize with you there!

THanks for your support - It's funny - I never thought I would love Monday Mornings as I do now - it's such a great feeling to walk into my office and have peace - the boys are always fighting and it's nice to finally be alone - everyone here a work laughs at me - since I am the only one with a happy face on on Monday Mornings !

Wait till the twos-threes - it's pure nuts !
