What did you name them?
Are they very different from each other? In what ways?
Friends? Do they have the same friends?
Do they share the same interests?
Is it hard to tell them apart (if they are identical)
Was it hard in the start to be parents of more than one?

Any details would be appreciated!
I am doing a project for school =)

I have 4 year old twins.

Names: Erin and Katie (Kathryn)

They are the EXACT same with everything medical (I guess you could call it), same weight, height, heatbeat, etc but personality they are exact opposites! I have my sensitive, quiet, likes low key activities child, then I have my care-free silly heart crazy child.

They have the same friends.

They have a lot of the same interests. Music, books, games, etc. But they also have their own interests too.

They are fraternal.

It was hard, but I don’t know what it is like to be a parent to just one at a time, so don’t know how different it is.

I have been pregnant once still breastfeeding and I don’t have any family members with twins ( my side or my hubby’ws side). I am wondering if there is any way I can increase the chances of having twins?
I am a 22 years old

There are a few things that increase your chances of having twins, but most of them you will have no control over.

Firstly, if you have a history of non-identical twins on YOUR side of the family, then you might have a tendency to release more than one egg. A history of twins on your husband’s side will not have any affect as it is Fraternal (non-identical) twins that run in families, and this is because the woman is releasing more than one egg. i.e. your husband can’t make you release more than one egg, but any daughters you have may inherit this ability through him.

As you get older, your chances increase towards the end of your fertility. Some theorise that it is a woman’s bodies "last ditch effort" to be fertile.

Fertility drugs and programs such as IVF will increase your chances, but I would not recommend this unless you have infertility problems.

Some cultural groups have slightly higher than average rates of twins, such as Nigerian women.

These are all factors in the odds of having fraternal twins. There are no factors that influence identical twins as these just "happen" and there doesn’t seem to be a genetic link. It is also possible to have both identical and non-identical twins, and I know of two families personally who have triplets where two are identical and the third fraternal. Both used IVF and had two embryos implanted.

Having had twins followed by 3 singletons, I can tell you that they are a true joy but that at each of my subsequent pregnancies I was sad but also very very very very relieved that they were all singletons. Twins are incredibly hard work for anyone, but particularly if you already have a toddler to chase around.

Good luck. I hope you and your husband have some more happy additions to your family, whether they come singly or in multiples.

My child support order was established in Maryland in 96 when my first daughter was born. The mother and I both lived there at the time. We had twins in 98. child support was also established for them in Maryland. The mother moved to Georgia in 2001 and I moved to Delaware. She took all three kids with her.The child support order has never been modified and I have never been to court of in front of a judge about child support or the orders. Maryland still has the orders opened there. Question 1- Does Maryland still have jurisdiction in these cases.No parties live there and haven’t been since 2001. Question 2- How come the mother isn’t enforced to open a case in Georgia where she resides? Now in 2001 when mother moved to Georgia she sent my son to delaware with her aunt. He has been in the aunt’s care 2001. I never knew anything about the aunt even having guardianship of my son til I went to his school to see him and I couldn’t. So I went to the aunt and raised questions about me getting my son and they wanted us to take it slow by getting him on weekends and then go fro there..I’m thinking I shouldn’t have ask the aunt can I have my son. I never gave up my rights to my son. I really don’t know how she has guardianship of my son since we never ever been to court over this. I went to the courts where she lives a nd she had a petition for guardianship for my son. It had stated that neither party mother or father attended and it was granted to her. The aunt had put on there that the mother wasn’t financially stable and she didn’t know my address or whereabouts. The time frame when the petition for guardianship was in effect I was getting my son on a regular and she’s had my number since 2002 to now and I remain still to have to same phone number.Question3- As a father what rights do I have on this situation? I’m concerned that she went about it the wrong way and lied about on paper as well. After our conversation ( the aunt anf I) she had told me that if the mother doesn’t start to contribute to taking care of the son that she was going to have to take other measures.Now this was in 2006. Let me remind that the mother in Georgia was still receiving child support for my son .She never informed child support in Maryland that she no longer had my son in her care let alone any custody. So I asked the aunt "She’s never given you money for my son since you had him?" she said "no" I went to Maryland told them the situation that the mother hasn’t had my son in her care since 2001 and she is still receiving child support for him. i then went infront of a judge told him this and NOTHING was done no REGULATION OR DISCIPLINARY ACTION but they still remained to have the case here in Maryland under the mother with the aunt’s name under hers and a csae number. So basically they just redirected the portion that was going to mother to the aunt.Question 4- Was Maryland able to do that? Like I said No ones lives in Maryland. So who has jurisdiction? Do I have any say? I mean what about all the money the mother was receiving for my son from 2001-2006. Am I able to sue her or the state since she really didn’t have a legal right or order for my son from 2001-2006.How would I go about that? Let me remind that ALL 3 orders remain in Maryland..I do not live there. The mother in Georgia doesn’t live there. the aunt doesn’t live there and all 3 kids do no live there? Where do I go for that issue? Child support enforcement know that..How has jurisdiction? Like they just redirected the money to the aunt. The aunt has never opened a child support case..as you know I have been the only parent paying for my son from 2001-now. The mother does not have any obligation to pay for my son. I am the only one paying.How is that possible in this situation? Now just received a letter from Maryland a few ago that they are going to close the case that is pertaining to my son due to ALL Parties invilved reside in other states that was the reason and it also states that Maryland no longer has controlling jurisdiction.. I’m thinking didn’t you people know this beforehand. My case is closed as far as my son due to this and I’m gong to assume that maybe the aunt and I will work an agreement or maybe she register it in here in delaware where she lives and I live.. If that is there reason for that case my question was it that reason for the other two cases which are orders with the mother for my oldest daughter and twin daughter. Wouldn’t that law about Maryland no longer having controlling jurisdiction apply because the mother, and my daughters do not reside in Maryland and I do not reaside in Maryland.. What can I do one all these issues?? I appreciate you advice..thanks,

Maryland will have jurisdiction as long as she leaves it there. A lot of people keep it in the original state just so they dont have the hassle of going through the courts again. You need to go to court and file to get custody of your son. Take all proof you can get and just go for custody.

Please feel free to speak your mind about if you think i have potential, which i dont think i do lol. Thanks

It was a perfect sunny day in L.A, the sun was gleaming, and the sky was a perfect shade of blue and not one cloud in sight. I was wearing my favourite outfit for this type of weather a black and pink spotted bikini, lounging it up on the terrace of my apartment, it was sheer bliss.
This was nothing like where I used to live, in a small, drab old village in South Wales, United Kingdom, where big, dark, black clouds hung over the town like an omen. There I lived with my older twin brother Cameron, my sister, Stephanie and both my parents, Alannah and James. It goes without saying my brother and I always looked a lot like each other, with dark brown hair and big, bold green eyes. Since we were young we have always been close and although he is only ten minutes younger than me he has always acted as if he were ten years older. Stephanie our younger sister is seventeen years old and we also have two other twin brothers, Jamie and Johnathon who are twenty eight.
I hated living in Wales, it was always so cold and wet, where everyone knew everyone else’s business and if they didn’t they would sure find a way.
Man it feels so good to be lying here in this blistering heat.
‘’Hey there gorgeous’’ I heard from the right of me. The apartment I live in is beautiful; it has everything a small town girl could have ever wished for, with an outdoor swimming pool on the lower terrace a bathroom I could play baseball in and a bedroom that could fit ten queen size beds, the only downside was that the top terrace and the balcony are conjoined with the neighbours, the only separation being a Perspex wall.
I turned my head to reveal a stunning looking guy staring right at me grinning like a Cheshire cat. The guy had tame, light brown curly hair just above his shoulders, dark tanned body, and an athletic physique; he must have been around ten feet tall and was completely dazzling.
‘’Hey’’ I replied in a bored tone of voice, returning my head to its original position.
’Stunning view isn’t it?’’ I turned my head back towards him.
‘’The view, of the scenery’’ he sniggered nodding towards the beach. I let out an uninterested laugh and got up and walked into my apartment without another word or any other acknowledgment towards him, I could hear him laughing to himself and a huge grin spread across my face.
In the apartment I started to make myself a Mojito, I grabbed a highball glass from the cupboard and added two teaspoons of sugar to it, three sprigs of mint and lime juice, I then mashed it all up, added the rum and ice, poured the tonic water and garnished it with lime slices, mint and a straw, without being modest it looked and tasted perfect, and so it should now that I have bought a club. The club has proved to be very successful with big celebrity names like Paris Hilton and Rihanna attending. The name is original of course and self titled, ’The Club’. I have never been neither creative nor an inventive person and found this name very necessary. I took a sip of my delicious Mojito, put the T.V on and sat in front of it. It was four o’clock in the afternoon and T.V listings in America were nothing like British T.V, that’s the only thing I miss about living in the U.K along with family, after flicking through nearly every channel I switched it back off and went to run myself a bath, ready for my night out on the tiles.
It was so peaceful laying in the bath, no one disturbing me and the only noise being the luxurious bubbles crackling gently around me, I felt like I had died and gone to heaven, I took a big sip of my Mojito and remembered all the times I would have to state an announcement each time I wanted to go in the shower or bath when I lived back at home, and even then I still couldn’t get any priv

Hi! I thought it was pretty good! Your description of of the different places were really excellent! I think with a little more practice you can definitely have some potential! Keep up the good work and keep writing!
