I just got shamed!

So I am in Target, minding my own business, when a middle aged man walks up to me and says "You really shouldn't do that." Cue my uber confused expression as he continues with "It is bad for your twins development for you to dress them alike. They are going to grow up to hate you." And then he walked away. I must have stood there for a full minute trying to figure out wtf just happened. And then I bought them two more ID dresses.
I get that as my girls get older, they will not want to dress alike. As soon as they start to express a desire to wear non matching outfits, then they can...but until then, I see it as my reward for double the screaming, double the bodily fluids, double the sleep deprivation. And frankly, I do the dmn laundry, and I dress them! I will dress them as I please. And if two adorable gingham smocked rompers are offensive to that man...his life must really stink!!

Re: I just got shamed!
aw man! don't listen!
i have a few friend who have twin girls, and then some friends who have girls close in age. it seems like in their experience, the girls will fight over the clothes anyway, so they just get them the same stuff!
WE still do it at 2.5 years old....but it's less because I think it's cute and more because if there is ONE THING DIFFERENT about an outfit - they will fight over one of them.
so...to make my mornings less stressful - we dress them alike </p

What a twerp....sorry you had to deal w/ that!
Someone shamed me the other day because mine weren't dressed alike. He told me, "you're supposed to dress twins alike.". I suggested that he notify the twin police.
my one friend has a twin brother and told me that. I said yeah, cause that's going to happen....
My Mom made my sister and I matching dresses when we were little (we're two years apart) and I LOVED how it look so my kids would have had matching o

My B/G twins are almost 2.5 and we still dress them alike with no plans of stopping. They think it's cool to have coordinating outfits (he gets a romper, she gets a dress in the same fabric) and I think it's adorable.
