split twins in the divorce?
so im watching this movie, 'You're so Cupid', it's a pretty lame movie, but the point of this post is they have frat twin girls and each took one in the divorce. although they still live in the same town so the girls go to school together. they did it in 'the Parent Trap' too. so it got me thinking. would you ever split your kids up? your TWINS up?

Re: split twins in the divorce?
I always thought that was the dumbest thing!
I mean, how could you do that? -facepalm-
When my parents got divorced, my mum got custody of both me and my twin sister.
I'm sure that's how it is in most of these cases.
But how could these parents EVER even think of doing that?
It's like, hey, we divided everything else, why not divide the kids up between us too! They're twins, so this is good, we each get one! It's fair.
WWWWHAT?
I would never split them, but we're actually dealing with this at my school right now. 4 weeks ago, I got a little girl in my Kindergarten class and her brother started in a first grade class. This past week, the dad came in to tell me that the little girl would be living with her mom now - about an hour away - but the brother would still be living with dad and attending our school. I can't even imagine what that would do to the kids.
I would never split up sibs...twins/triplets or not.
This.
This!
We've talked about this before (because one of my favorite movies is the Haley Mills version of Parent Trap), and we wouldn't do it. Not just with the twins, but any of our kids.
I don't forsee us getting divorced, but we both said that if something was ever to happen, we'd keep the kids together.
It's funny you mention this because the old Parent Trap is a fave of mine too. I didn't think a thing of it with them splitting the kids in the movie until I got pregnant. Then I realized that "OMG they split up the kids!"
So yeah, no way in hell!
Unfortunately, one night I couldn't sleep and watched that movie. They were separated and not divorced. Weird...
There is no chance in hell I would ever separate my children. If H and I got divorced, I'm keeping them all together.
i think it's funny how many hits this post has gotten. i think everyone must think i am actually thinking about splitting up my twins in a divorce. we are all total drama whores, LOL! but alas, i am currently very happily married. and for the record i wouldnt split them for anything. i wouldnt even split up the two dogs.
