I hated this soooo much too. I still do, but now it’s less.
My girls are fraternal and dont look anything alike but that question would still piss me off. I was often tempted to say, “no the one on the right is my grandmother from Boca, she’s just visiting”
I just dont get why we have to stabd out everywhere we go. I totally get how celebs feel now.
FYI: The BEST thing that I purchased for this, is a Phil & Ted Stroller, one in the fornt, one in the back- by the time they realize there are two babies in there, you are down the street! just saying…

I get asked all the time if my daughter and my niece are twins (they’re 4 months apart but P is chubby and tall, and niece E is skinny). I don’t get annoyed because they very well could be fraternal twins, but I can’t imagine having two identical babies and having to answer that all the time.

Haha that post office one is the best. As opposed to “I can tell, because I have eyes.”

Ugh. Don’t ya just wanna smack people? Like I can see if they were like two or three, maybe then they could be a year apart, but for heavens sakes people they are freaking babies.. they are not old enough to be a year apart. I’m with ya on the getting snarky, sometimes I just can’t contain myself anymore!

I can only begin to imagine how annoying it is.

I went to a baby expo with my friend a few days ago who has twins a week younger than my daughter. I got IGNORED by the exhibitors the entire time because I was with her and she had OMGZ TWINZ! We would walk up at the same time and they would throw free shit at her and not even look at me. Me and my singleton, mere peons, you know. So annoying.

By the end she was like “here you push the twin stroller, I’m sick of people!”

I get that a lot too. I was recently in a store and the lady behind the counter asked if they were twins. When I said yes, she apologized because she knew they probably were, but earlier that day, she had told another mom how cute her twins were, but it turned out the two were 10 months apart (one was 2, the other almost 3). So she didn’t want to assume any more!

I find this totally funny.. not because I have twins but because my boys are 15 months apart, I dont dress them alike and I still have older women coming up to me asking if they are twins!! REALLY? One is/was an infant and the other walking around talking to me! People are morons
