When shopping yesterday i seen a mother with 6 month twins.

She had the following laminated sign pinned to their pram.

Beware (pic of lion)Our mum bites, so don't touch us.

Wonder if it works.
I sure could have done with one of those at times.

I just have to say...... Ladies, we have had twins!!! Lets deal with it like adults, why put a sign up???? Feel priveledged and proud that people want to take the time to talk to you! There's no need to get b*tchy about it! Twins are different and people are curious, it's normal! Give the average person a break, they don't see twins every day and it is exciting 4 them!

I admit sometimes it gets annoying 4 me, but I try to be understanding and be polite. We are lucky and privedged to be blessed with 2 babies and not just one, be happy about it and revel in the attention!!! Otherwise you'll have a frustrating and unhappy existence!! Twins are a gift from god, how about treating them that way and being proud to tell others?? It really isn't that hard!

Though in all fairness, actually touching the babies is crossing a line I agree with u there!!!

Hannah & Jade

Touching is something I don't like, even with just one baby, especially strangers children who feel they have to keep patting their heads......... :mad:

Though I agree, I get a bit fed up sometimes, especially when in a hurry, but at the same time I do love the attention the boys get. And yes we are sooooooo blessed to have two bubs. Generally our outings which I make daily are spent with at least a couple of stops and chats about the boys, and more often than not they just want to compliment me on how gorgeous they are. And of course I always have to agree.........

I haven't had many people touch my boys, but there was one guy who KISSED their feet, both feet of both boys and said "so blessed" I am not sure what nationality he was, perhaps indian, anyhow I wasn't expecting it and was in shock - the boys thought it was hilarious as DH and I regularly blow respaberry on their feet for a stir.

[color=Teal]I definitely can see the funny side of the sign, but I have to admit that although occasionally I get a bit annoyed at being stopped regularly when we're out, most of the time I actually quite enjoy it! I do feel blessed to be the mother of 2 gorgeous little creatures who just happen to have been born on the same day!

But, the touching thing is something I definitely don't like. Maybe the sign should say, "look, but don't touch"!!

Maybe I should have a sign which says "say "double trouble" and watch our Mum explode" - it's only fair to warn people and I really hate that one! LOL

I get so used to people looking when I'm out with the girls that when I'm only with one of them and no one looks, I feel like saying "excuse me, cute child here - please look!" - I don't mind the looking, it's the loud (dare I say stupid) comments and, when they were little, the touching which really got to me. If anyone tried to touch them now, they'd probably be deafened by the screaming!

Maree, would that be the girls screaming or you?

As you all know, I love to complain about this subject. I really don't mind the occasional (positive) comment, especially when I am standing in a queue or something and there's nowhere I need to be. Its the stalking and the general freak show type stuff I don't like. You all know it - when people stand in front of you so you can't get past or call out"OOoo come and look at the twins". The stupid and negative comments just wore me down after a while, and as for touching - that's just a big no-no in my book, no matter how many babies there are!

As much as it annoys me, I don't get nasty about it. The worst I get is to pretend I haven't heard it, or smile and nod and keep moving so I don't get cornered.

*LOL* @ Nakigirls comment "say "double trouble" and watch our Mum explode" Might have to use that
I feel like i have to have a sign up stating their sex,age,ID or Not, BF or Bottle fed,conceived natural or IVF.
And i am a no touch person too..

I had a eldery man come up to me the other day and tell me how truly blessed i was and that god gave me two special little boys. It made all the horrible comments seem so minor.

I agree i think it definately got her more attention as i would normally have looked and thought " I wish mine were that little again" and kept going , but I HAD to stop to read the sign i seen hanging off the pram. I do think it was a bit agressive sounding but can also see the funny side to it .

I too am proud of the fact I was blessed with twins and like the positive attention they get, when they were little and i would go out with just one and someone commented on how cute she was I would always say she is a twin as I felt proud that I had 2 very cute babies:p.
