JABarney Posted January 23, 2008 Share Posted January 23, 2008 Hello, this is our first year homeschooling and so far it is going well. I am looking to say hi to any one homeschooling twins. My DS 4.5 and DD 4.5. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
readwithem Posted January 23, 2008 Share Posted January 23, 2008 Just bumping for you :) I'm a twin but I wasn't homeschooled ;) there are several people here with twins, but this board moves threads off so quickly, they might miss it. I know Amy in Orlando and maybe Osmosis Mom - I think Desiree? I'm trying to remember - and maybe they haven't made the switch to the new boards yet.

Rose in BC Posted January 23, 2008 Share Posted January 23, 2008 They are my non-biological twins -- adopted and unrelated biologically. They are exactly one month apart in age. I also have a 10 year old son so I have three kids, very close in age. Rose Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Amy in Orlando Posted January 23, 2008 Share Posted January 23, 2008 With an older brother (15) - he's 14 months older and a younger brother (8). Homeschooling twins can be fun and also very challenging. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kaylk in tx Posted January 23, 2008 Share Posted January 23, 2008 i also had lots of people asking if they were triplets, especially when we were out walking in the triple jogging stroller! :D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Melinda in VT Posted January 23, 2008 Share Posted January 23, 2008 Plus a 12 yo boy and a 2 yo boy. We are afterschoolers now, but after teaching the twins to read, I have some understanding of the challenges of homeschooling twins. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Remudamom Posted January 23, 2008 Share Posted January 23, 2008 We have 13 year old triplets that are identical boys and a girl. Their big sis is 14, big brother in college. When the four little ones were younger everyone thought I had two sets of twins. I think homeschooling multiples is easy- everyone in the same class, not as many lessons to plan.

JABarney Posted February 29, 2008 Author Share Posted February 29, 2008 I am not sure why I did not see these posts until now, but it is nice to see there are others out there who have started this process before me. I am sure I will have questions as we continue on this great journey. Nice to "meet" you all! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Robin Hood Posted March 1, 2008 Share Posted March 1, 2008 Hi. Adopted girls here, both 9yo and 5 months apart. Not much different than twins. As different as salt and pepper and from what I hear, even identical twins can be that different. With birthdays in different parts of the year, jealousy was big in the early years, so now both of the girls have 2 birthdays a year. How lucky can ya get??? Two birthdays a year! I hope it's tradition they keep throughout thier lives. Good luck on your hs endeavors. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ria Posted March 1, 2008 Share Posted March 1, 2008 Almost 19-yr old boy/girl twins here. We homeschooled them all the way through. They are now freshmen in college (different schools, but only 20 minutes away from each other - they are still best friends and talk daily!). Our other boys are 15, 13, 12, and 11. Have fun!!

Tracey in TX Posted March 1, 2008 Share Posted March 1, 2008 "Irish twins" (10 & 11 y/o) 8 y/o triplets--ID girls, frat boy EVERY day is an adventure! Wow, huge number of multiples on this board. I'm stunned...and feel amazingly at home now. :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lolly Posted March 1, 2008 Share Posted March 1, 2008 Twin dd age 13 here. As opposite as absolutely possible. Also the absolute best of friends. Older dd age 15; younger ds age 11 in a very, very short while. I'm another who gets the are they triplets question. Many times people will ask if two are twins. THey almost ALWAYS choose the wrong two to make the set. THe oldest doesn't like that a whole lot, but she and twin 2 have the same build (and height). Before the girls "blossomed" I was getting quadruplet questions. I'm sure that is going to come back in another year or two when ds catches up with the girls. Twins are great! I would wish them on my best friend. My enemies, I would wish they would get stuck in the first few months of twins... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CLHCO Posted March 1, 2008 Share Posted March 1, 2008 If I'm reading it correctly, there are TWO sets of 13 year old triplets and several twins the same age as my girls. I think I saw 7 total? I'm sure many were looking at ages their twins line up with. I guess I'm not too surprised that there are many twins. It's a large board with a lot of traffic. I was just stunned at the number the same age as my own and the many triplets, which are more rare. Gee, we can all swap stories of the foolish things said to us through the years. :D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jacklyn Posted March 2, 2008 Share Posted March 2, 2008 Fraternal twin boys, age 12. I also have dd-age 7 and ds-age 5. Best wishes! Jacklyn Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rose in BC Posted March 2, 2008 Share Posted March 2, 2008 we call those "Irish twins", kiddos 12 months or less apart But I might use it because I hate going through the whole -- "How old are your kids? Answer: 11, 11, 10. "Oh, twins." . . . usually I just agree rather than explain. Rose Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
