See my twins are in seperate classes so get invited to different things sometimes. It's amazing though how many parents and kids have made an effort to include the other twin :T and I even picked twin1 up from one party when party boy's mum spotted twin2 and said she felt awful for not realising the boy had only invited one, and if she'd seen twin2 when I dropped the other off she'd have invited her in.

As someone says it teaches them that they won't always both be invited to everything.

Ahhhh they may well be seperated next year, but there not at the moment. SO will be ready to take the bull by the horn when it comes up.
They do need more independance, Lily does rely on Daisy alot for things that involve confidience. Thats the only way they are different.

Dont remind me about clothes :rotfl:they spent about twenty mins deciding what there going to wear for non uniform day on friday.

It has worked really well for mine, being seperate. They went to pre-school some days together some apart and the (fantastic, not to be messed with) woman who ran it, advised me to keep them that way at school because they were different children for he better.

Apparently as soon as they let them out at playtime they run off to find each other and have a hug, which I find really sweet :A

And they're now just deciding they don't want to dress the same, much to the horror of their paternal grandma, who likes all three of the older ones dressed the same :rotfl:

Aww bless thats sweet. When one of the girls was in hospital last year they were both so unsettled. They never had chance to go on different sessions at nursery as i worked.
At the moment everything has to be the same clothes wise to keep the peace.
i do like that they have each other if either is upset at school.
I think the boys will be totally different.....

I'm so glad you checked, it is what I would have suggested. DS2 had this recently - lots of his pals were invited to a party but he wasn't and couldn't understand why. I was a little surprised as he does play with the child but figured on limited numbers and had a chat with DS2 about it. He was still upset but I thought that's life.

Anyhow, the Mum then collared me at the school gate to ask if he was coming as she had not had my reply. Turns out the child had put the invite in his tray and it had fallen down the back! The Mum was mortified I thought she hadn't asked him as they play together a lot. So he did go in the end

Sometimes when I have a party a parent will say "Sorry we can't come as I have no one to look after xxxxx (sibling)" This gives me the chance to say either the sibling can come or express sympathy that they can't make it this time. I think that's a nice way of hndling it as you don't feel backed into a corner. Generally I'll say bring them along but if it's restricted numbers I can explain why it's not possible this time. I would always rather they asked though. I'd hate their child to miss out because of a childcare issue when there were spaces available.

I don't think it's rude at all.
