moms of multiples

What are the most common questions you get asked? Do you ever get out of a store without someone saying something?

Re: moms of multiples

  • Not a question but a comment... You have your hands full! (but all moms get this comment)

    Identical or fraternal?

    Not so much anymore, but when I was pregnant "Are they natural?" Meaning "did you have IVF?" Grr. I hate this one.

    Did you plan them? Again, another way of asking if they're "natural".

    I feel extra sorry for the fraternal twin moms because they get the "they don't LOOK like twins" comment.

    Which one is your favorite?  - Another one I despise!

    Another comment: "I wish I had twins" or "I just know I'm going to have twins someday!"

    Better you than me/I'd jump off a bridge if I had twins.

    And nope, you never get out of the store without someone stopping to talk to you! When they were babies I'd push them in one cart and pull another cart, which draws even more attention to the freak show! @ChrisG83, you should visit the multiples board and look at the ongoing comments thread! There are some really interesting questions/comments that some MoMs get!

  • Oh wow! I never have and never will stop a parent of multiples.
  • BandEddie, I've said this many times, but I can only imagine what going out in public is like for you! :) 

     

     

  • I am guilty of making the "better you than me" type comment. Because....seriously. But I wasn't trying to offend anyone!
