11 Worst Things to Say to Moms of Multiples
“ ‘Are they natural?’ You don’t go around asking parents of singletons how they were conceived, so don’t ask a parent of multiples.” — Lilystar82
“ ‘Which one is best?’ My response was ‘at what?’” — MrsLee04
“ ‘Did you plan on having twins?’ Well, we planned on getting pregnant, so yes we did.” — Ladynikon
“ ‘I have two kids 16 months apart. I think that’s harder than twins.’ I didn’t know it was a contest.” — MuseumMaven
“ ‘My babies are a year apart; it’s like having twins!’ No, it’s not. Only having twins is like having twins.” — ViolaPlayer
“ ‘How do you tell them apart?’ Not because it’s insensitive — it’s just dumb.” — Pea-kay
“ ‘Oh, that’s not like having real twins, like two boys or two girls.’ Nope. Pretty sure I have real twins.” — Smcgervey
“ ‘Wow [you’re pregnant with multiples?]! You are going to get so big!’ Do not talk about my weight. You’re never supposed to tell a woman she’s big, even if she’s pregnant with twins! And thank you for stating the obvious. — Mossyoakgrl
“ ‘[Pregnant with twins?] That’s impossible! You’re too skinny!’ I wanted to cry — it’s a big deal for me to make sure my babies are going to be a healthy weight when they are born. Comments like that put my worries into hyperdrive.” — Sugacattey
“ ‘You’re done, right?’ I don’t need anyone telling me how many children I should or shouldn’t have.” — Lucyrocardo3
“ ‘Oh, twins must be so easy, since they have a built-in playmate!’ No, that just means twice the work and a lot of refereeing!" — Macchiatto
