Okay- so my tongue is in my cheek with this one (a bit). I'm 14/40 with Mo-di twins (first children).

Have you noticed that AT LEAST HALF of the Supernanny episodes feature families with twins, in absolute chaos? Is it because of the "cute" factor? Or is it because routines are even more important if you have twins? Or is it because twins are naturally programmed to drive their parents around the bend?

I was hoping to hear from some mums of older twins- is raising twins really that bad? Or is it just for TV ratings?

What is it with the Supernanny and the appearances of the twin families????? I would also love to know why they are showing it constantly featuring multiple familes, of course gets me each week......But I will scream if one more passer by says' oh double trouble you will have the have Supernanny's number on speed dial soon!!!!! Arrrrrggggghhhhh.. I have seen families with one child much worse than some of the shows **that feels much better** LOL

I too am sick of people saying 'as long as your twins aren't like the Supernanny ones they always seem to have'.

**Megan** and i have a lot in common, my boys would give her a lesson in out of control behaviour... i hope your Dylan isn't as naughty as mine LOL
typical child behavior I say and you have to laugh and look on the bright side ( hopefully they go to bed soon )

good luck everyone

**LMAO** Supernanny just finished here in WA and guess what???? She went to see a family with twins!!! OMG - Isabelle and Max, were very cute and poor little Jacob! Poor Parents - couldnt agree on discipline for the little darling??? Dad to harsh Mum to soft, what is the happy medium?

Kylie and Megan - I am positive you girls could show the nanny a few things! Come on now - doesnt that show just make you feel so much better? Normal? under control?

USA Multiple Birth stats must be really high?? or no-one else is calling her? Who knows - go the ratings!

Scott - Oh darl, It feels so much better to get it out to people who hear the same thing! In utero or with babies, its scary stuff! *LOL*

Kylie - always look on the bright side & Laugh - Love it!
