Many parents neglect themselves and use their children as an excuse for doing so. How many moms and dads do you know who have a horrible diet, take inadequate care of themselves in general, never do anything fun, all in the name of being a good parent? Probably a couple, and chances are they aren’t …

Twin gets snubbed out of his brother’s engagement celebrations and repeatedly left out of family events after moving to Portland, so he skips the wedding entirely: ‘I was only invited for optics’
Twins are tight. Often boasting of their twinnish connection and their mind-reading capabilities, twins have a connection that many siblings will never truly understand. A twin is like an extension of yourself, and to avoid getting too spiritual about it, twins share their experience in life as a duo from the moment they enter this …

Mom refuses to let dad of a 7-year-old and 8-month-old twins go on a solo trip without the rest of the family: ‘I’m working, we don’t have full time child care, and it’s honestly just a lot with the 3 kids’
Once you become a parent, a lot of your freedom gets swallowed up. As a single person, I could hypothetically take a year off from all my responsibilities and travel the world, and it wouldn’t significantly impact anyone other than me. Sure, I’d have to save up and find someone to sublet my room for …

Teen boy calls out twin brother for copying him since birth, which disallowed him from being his own person for 16 years: ‘I literally had no space to develop my own personality away from him’
Folks always talk about how much they’d love having a twin if they could. While it may be a novelty—you know, having another half of you that hung out in the womb with you for nine months—it definitely isn’t all sunshine and rainbows. How do you differentiate yourself from them? Can you manage to be …

The ‘Da Vinki Twins’ Are the Only Good Influencers On the Internet
When two cartoonish-looking blonde twins on TikTok answered the question «Who painted the Mona Lisa?» with «Da Vinki?» The internet was quick to embrace them as a punchline with their absurd mispronunciation of the famous Italian master, Leonardo da Vinci. «Da Vinki» became the earworm meme of the moment. It could be heard across the …

31-year-old helps new mom friend care for her newborn twins every day for 2 weeks, mom freaks out when friend’s husband says she’s too sick to help: ‘I didn’t forbid her from going. I just protected her when she was too tired to stand up for herself.
There’s an art to asking somebody for help. If you have to ask a friend to do you arduous favors for free on a nearly constant basis, then you probably need to hire someone to help you. It’s one thing if you’ve agreed on a schedule and your friend or loved one isn’t pressured into …

Mom plays favorites with her identical twin daughter’s late sister, then the 24-year-old sets the lies straight after her mother paints her as the ‘evil twin’ in front of her future in-laws: ‘[Mom] pretends she was an angel who lit up our lives’
Identical twins can be tricky to identify, and even a loving parent can struggle to see the difference between the two. But when the two twins have drastically different personalities—like when one is diabolically cruel, outgoing, and loud, while the other is shy and reserved—the glaring idiosyncrasies in their character stand out more than any …

‘I feel like I’m in a relationship with you and your brother’: 21-year-old twin breaks up with girlfriend after she criticizes him for being too close to his brother
There is no familial relationship that is quite like that of twins. There is something about the experience of sharing a womb at the same time that can create an unbreakable bond, unlike that of any other kind of siblings. If they happen to be identical as well, that is 100% of the DNA shared …

Childfree 24-year-old aunt refuses to babysit for her sister’s energetic 2, 4, and 7-year-olds while she’s working from home, gladly babysits her brother’s calm 6-year-old twins: ‘I can’t watch a difficult kid while I work.’
Not every babysitter is suited for every group of kids. When I babysat as a teenager, I really only did it for chill, well-behaved kids who didn’t need a lot of redirection or discipline. They were the kind of kids with 5 million ideas for how we would play together, and I’d just roll with …

Parents force 16-year-old son to tutor his failing twin sister and carry her down the stairs after she broke her foot, gets in trouble when he refuses: ‘I told her I am not her caregiver all the time and she needs to do stuff herself’
Teenagers should not have adult responsibilities. I’m not saying that teens should never get a part-time job, learn how to drive, or help around the house. I just believe that they should only be responsible for their own schoolwork, chores, and jobs. One of the best things about being a young childless person is that …
