We're Having Boy/Girl Twins

because one is a boy and one is a girl....at some point, they will have to be split up.... They are siblings, not boyfriend and girlfriend. Why would they "have to be split up"? I really don't get it. My 3yo boy/girl twins generally sleep in separate rooms now, but we do hope to have them back in the same room in the future. (Not really due to lack of space, just because we think it would be more comfortable for everyone.) It never would have occurred to me that whether they are in the same room or different rooms has anything to do with their gender. David desJardins |

We're Having Boy/Girl Twins
Meg --
Congratulations! We have b/g twins who are 6, and still happily share a room. The b/g twins down the road shared a room until they were 10, if I recall correctly. We have no other children. As someone else wrote, in the long run, you just do what works for you. Julie Mom to Erica & Chris, 07/97 Meg wrote: Hello! We will be welcoming our twins to our family in February (knock wood). We have an almost 2 year old daughter too. I'm wondering how long you kept your boy/girl twins sharing the same room? I'm thinking two years from when they are born, my older daughter will move into the larger room with her little sister. Am I dreaming, or does this sound reasonable? Any other advice about boy/girl twins would also be appreciated. Thanks in advance for your comments! Megan Mommy to Julia, who will be 2 on Halloween and twins EDD 2/11/04 |

OK, well for all of those out there that may have the space, you could split
them up when they want their own space. On the other hand, our 8.5 year old twins love the bunk beds and one room. Both have their own space in the finished basement for entertainment and desks but for sleeping they prefer each others company. It sure makes bedtime easy for me as I read one book (alternate from each others pile as we finish). They don't goof around and lights are off at 9, reading between 8:30 and 8:45 for with prayers and they read from 8:45 to 9. It works for us. Neither has complained about the sleeping arrangements yet - I know they will and when they do we will have to work something out but for now it's great.

Why would you split up the twins and put one with the older child? I would think your older daughter will be more interested in having her own space, and if you have two bedrooms, it would be better to keep the twins together, at least in principle. |

I am probably going to keep my b/g twins in the same room until at least
kindergarten and if they like being together, maybe even a little longer. I see nothing wrong with it when they are still young and naive. Megan Mommy to miracle twins... Aidan & Alexis Born 9-28-02 |
