If you have fraternal twins (same gender or not) and they don't look anything alike...has anyone ever told you that they can't possibly be twins because they look nothing alike?
DS looks just like his father. Olive skin, dark eyes, dark hair moose. lol
DD is from the milkman. Pale skin (I have that), blue eyes, blond hair. A peanut.
I get asked all the time if they are twins and then sometimes get told that they can't be because they look nothing alike.
So frustrating!

It is amazing how little people know about twins. Like when I tell people I can tell my IDs apart they ask "So they aren't really identical then?" *facepalm* ("No, no, silly person, I just call them 'identical' because if I said 'monozygotic' this conv
Yes, I get those comments 99% of the time. "So they're NOT really twins, huh?" ugh
I told DH I'm gonna just start flashing my ONE c-section scar to the next person who gets rude about it!
This just happened last week in the grocery store. DD has beautiful light blue eyes, DS has dark blue gray eyes (but appear brown at first glance because they're dark). A lady says, "She has blue eyes....he has brown-how can they be twins?"

LOL, yep!
Until they were 9-10 months old, it was always, "Oh wow, how do you tell them apart?" Even though they've always had different features and coloring. Then their hair grew in more and suddenly we were getting the "They can't possibly be twi
I was completely twin ignorant before oh... 10 weeks ago then I did tons of research.
Things I used to think:
