Family Forum / Parenting / Twins / November 2004

We have twin grandchildren and they are not socializing well with other
children. We have taken them to reading groups at the local library where
they only in interact with each other and ignore other children. The parents
are almost blind to any problems they might have in the ...

I love the book so I was so excited when I heard the movie was coming out. I
was planning to take the girls to see it the day after Thanksgiving, but the
reviews I have read have been terrible.  Has anyone seen it?  What's the
verdict?

You all may or may not remember me asking for new car suggestions a while back.
I ended up getting an '05 Sequoia. So far I'm enjoying it. When we brought the
car home Madison said "Mommy, did we steal this car?"  Dh and I almost died
laughing.  That's me, the hot wire Mama!  :)  I ...

If anyone has a child who has been diagnosed with Sensory Integration Disorder
or Sensory Defensiveness would you please email me. Madison was recently
diagnosed with a mild case of sensory defensiveness. At first we just thought
it was just her being weird about not wanting to wear ...

I just have to laugh -- who would EVER want to see those nude pictures (of
so-called celebrities) on newsgroups like this one, when we are probably so
joyously loaded with an abundance of our babies' pics!  Of course, mine are of
grandchildren (the ones of my own kids' I've hidden ...

I was just curious if anyone had the list of companies that send
gifts/coupons to parents of multiples.  Thank You in advance!
The First Years sent my girls foot rattles with winnie the pooh, and
hand rattles....they are so cute...

HI!  I had b/g twins on August 27th at 26 weeks gestation.  They are 11
weeks now, and the girl just came home yesterday.  I've been pumping about
18 to 20 ounces a day.  My question is if I stop pumping and just b/f my
girl will my supply increase for my boy when he comes home.  ...

Just wanted to give you the good news, there is only one baby this time around
and we are due 7/3/04.  
Talk to you soon, it is only 6:30 and I am SO ready for bed!

I see lots of familiar people still hanging around here as well as many  I
don't recognize. I wish I had more time to be a regular like I used to be.

wild 4-year-olds that they are. lol  They love their ...

For the past three days in a row, my girls have not napped.  I put them down
for their normal naps at the normal time, and used the normal routine. (How
many times can I use the word "normal" in one sentence?). But all they do is
play in their cribs for over an hour and then start ...

This is a curiosity question, probably unrelated to anything of any
importance, but here goes.  I run an online used bookstore and I just
realized that I've really got a ton of parenting books.  While most of my
books are offered on consignment for local charities, I see that most ...

My wife and I are an interracial couple,she is white andI am black.  We
have two very beautiful toddlers ages 4 and 3 a biy and a girl.  My son
was born on my wife's birthday and my daughterwas born 16 days before my
wife's birthday.  My babies are 11 months apart.  My wife ad son ...

Our local paper just carried a story about a couple who just gave birth to
quads.  Mom had in vitro but they ONLY transplanted two eggs, so the theory
is both eggs split, of course there are two boys and two girls.  All their
weights were 4 pounds and over.\

thank you so much for your answers to me. it makes me feel not so alone to
know there's other parents out there with twins. people always  say how
lucky I am and they wish they could have had twins and I think u have no
idea. it is really hard. I love all my babies very much but ...

I had Ryan's last week. His went very well. He's doing very well
academically and socially. She said that the first 3 weeks he talked
a lot about "my best friend", "my brother...", "jake and I did
this...", but he doesn't talk about him any more. He has several
