Twins anyone?

[JABarney]

Hello, this is our first year homeschooling and so far it is going well. I am looking to say hi to any one homeschooling twins. My DS 4.5 and DD 4.5.

[readwithem]

Just bumping for you :) I'm a twin but I wasn't homeschooled ;)

there are several people here with twins, but this board moves threads off so quickly, they might miss it. I know Amy in Orlando and maybe Osmosis Mom - I think Desiree? I'm trying to remember - and maybe they haven't made the switch to the new boards yet.

They are my non-biological twins -- adopted and unrelated biologically. They are exactly one month apart in age.

I also have a 10 year old son so I have three kids, very close in age.

Hi! 10yo fraternal twins and 11yodd. When they were little everyone thought I had triplets.

[Amy in Orlando]

With an older brother (15) - he's 14 months older and a younger brother (8).

Homeschooling twins can be fun and also very challenging.

i also had lots of people asking if they were triplets, especially when we were out walking in the triple jogging stroller! :D

[Melinda in VT]

Plus a 12 yo boy and a 2 yo boy.

We are afterschoolers now, but after teaching the twins to read, I have some understanding of the challenges of homeschooling twins.

I didn't realize there were so many multiples on the board! I have 6 y.o. fraternal twin girls.

[Lolly]

Fraternal girls, now 13 yo. Also a dd 15 and ds 10.

[Remudamom]

We have 13 year old triplets that are identical boys and a girl. Their big sis is 14, big brother in college. When the four little ones were younger everyone thought I had two sets of twins.

I think homeschooling multiples is easy- everyone in the same class, not as many lessons to plan.

[JABarney]

I am not sure why I did not see these posts until now, but it is nice to see there are others out there who have started this process before me. I am sure I will have questions as we continue on this great journey. Nice to "meet" you all!

[JFS in IL]

One in honors/AP classes in high school, the other can't even read, in a school for special kids.

Hi. Adopted girls here, both 9yo and 5 months apart. Not much different than twins. As different as salt and pepper and from what I hear, even identical twins can be that different.

With birthdays in different parts of the year, jealousy was big in the early years, so now both of the girls have 2 birthdays a year. How lucky can ya get??? Two birthdays a year! I hope it's tradition they keep throughout thier lives.

Good luck on your hs endeavors.

[bkpan]

a 10yo boy, 8yo boy, 4yo girl, and 7 month old boy. You'll have fun!

Almost 19-yr old boy/girl twins here. We homeschooled them all the way through. They are now freshmen in college (different schools, but only 20 minutes away from each other - they are still best friends and talk daily!). Our other boys are 15, 13, 12, and 11. Have fun!!

My twin girls will be 8 in May. Welcome to the boards!

[Tracey in TX]

They are my non-biological twins -- adopted and unrelated biologically. They are exactly one month apart in age.

I also have a 10 year old son so I have three kids, very close in age.

we call those "Irish twins", kiddos 12 months or less apart

"Irish twins" (10 & 11 y/o)
8 y/o triplets--ID girls, frat boy
EVERY day is an adventure!

Wow, huge number of multiples on this board. I'm stunned...and feel amazingly at home now. :)

Twin dd age 13 here. As opposite as absolutely possible. Also the absolute best of friends. Older dd age 15; younger ds age 11 in a very, very short while. I'm another who gets the are they triplets question. Many times people will ask if two are twins. THey almost ALWAYS choose the wrong two to make the set. THe oldest doesn't like that a whole lot, but she and twin 2 have the same build (and height). Before the girls "blossomed" I was getting quadruplet questions. I'm sure that is going to come back in another year or two when ds catches up with the girls.

Twins are great! I would wish them on my best friend. My enemies, I would wish they would get stuck in the first few months of twins...

[Kinsa]

Hi! I'm homeschooling 12yo identical (mirror-imaged) twin boys --- along with some others. :D

[CLHCO]

If I'm reading it correctly, there are TWO sets of 13 year old triplets and several twins the same age as my girls. I think I saw 7 total?

I'm sure many were looking at ages their twins line up with.

I guess I'm not too surprised that there are many twins. It's a large board with a lot of traffic. I was just stunned at the number the same age as my own and the many triplets, which are more rare.

Gee, we can all swap stories of the foolish things said to us through the years. :D

[Jacklyn]

Fraternal twin boys, age 12. I also have dd-age 7 and ds-age 5.

Best wishes!

But I might use it because I hate going through the whole -- "How old are your kids? Answer: 11, 11, 10. "Oh, twins." . . . usually I just agree rather than explain.
