The birth of twins is certainly a double dose of joy, but parents of twins admit that it is not always easy. There are certain issues when you have twins. This list looks at some of the toughest moments of having twins, from pregnancy to adolescence. With two children of the same age, there is a lot of pressure on the parents to keep everything equal.

What you do for one, you must do for another. You want them to have equal access to resources and opportunities. And basically you want to deny the appearance of playing favorites or giving advantage to one of the twins over the other. This can become a back-breaking effort, ensuring that everyone gets their turn, gets a fair portion and an equal portion.

The relationship of twins is unique and complex. Geminis are personalities, but they are also part of the twin dynamic. Parents have a duty to raise them as individuals, but the world wants to see its children as a set. Comparisons and contrasts come from all sides, and parents even have to struggle with their own instincts so as not to contrast the characteristics of one child with another.
