Twins, who on here has them.

Just had a quick look. This was a similar experience to ours. My two were born at 33 weeks and spent 4 weeks in NICU. Not a pleasant experience, especially the daily commute to dundee! I also thought I'd add, more to get it off my chest. I don't think I've ever been so knackered. I did 12 years in the RAF and this is harder than basic training and my three Iraq tours put together. The big difference is they constantly want to harm themselves in very inventive ways, instead of my experience of others trying to kill me!

Twin boys, non-identical, personalities are totally polar opposite, 20 months old.
One incredibly highly strung and still not sleeping through and one so very laid back that if we didn't wake him he'd never get up!
I'm so very, very tired.
You must be! I'm lucky in that they both sleep for a solid 11 hours each night. It's still knackering as this is catch up time. The personality thing sounds similar to my two. Ones mental and into everything and the other just sits quietly playing with his toys and occasionally laughing at his brother being daft. Brilliant to watch. One incredibly highly strung and still not sleeping through and one so very laid back that if we didn't wake him he'd never get up!

Now, my next question. What transport arrangements do the average PHer have in place for their toddler twins? I stupidly sold my Focus ST earlier this year after we bought a B-Max. Which is great but really is a bit small. We have a roof box though which means that when we do need to load all our kit then we have the space. I bought a Renualtsport Clio 200 recently as a second car, mainly for me to get to work in. Not ideal twin baby transport but I did want one and so bought it anyway. My plan, in the new year is buy another Mk3 Focus ST. I'd love an RS but can't be arsed with the waiting time.

I think you're right 
twin one has found his next level scream. Blood literally curdled. The reason? Twin two dared to hold one of his slippers, he wasn't even wearing them! Chaos then ensued when Twin two stole Twin one's dummy and ran around giggling whilst twin one chased him. Twin two thinks it's the funniest game in the world whilst twin one thinks his world has ended.
It's hard not to laugh.
Yes, this exactly! Leave the room for 5 minutes, rush into our baby proof living room thinking one has seriously injured itself and find out that they both want to play with the ball (They have one each!!) twin one has found his next level scream.

Triplets! Wow! Yes, Sudocrem, you're lucky you have a hard floor. My wife had a similar situation a few weeks ago. Dressing twin no.2 at 06:45 after dressing twin no.2 to take to nursery. Popped out of the room for 2 minutes and they were covered. She was too stressed to take any pics. I work away, so miss all the action for 2 weeks at a time. On the plus side I get to look after them for 2 weeks.
There isn't any proof yet about it passing down through generations. My wifes family have no history of twins that she knows of. On my side, my cousin has twin boys, non identical. I have identical twin girl cousins and my Dad has twin cousins also, non identical boys. So, who knows how it works. I think it's pure coincidence. My mates who are twins have an older brother who has 11 year old non identical twin boys. Needless to say, my mates mum is like a surrogate granny to my two and looks after them no bother even though she's in her late 70's.
