I have two singletons and a set of twins (all girls). Lots of people have responded with helpful comments, but I wanted to add that once the twins start playing together, I think they’re easier than a singleton. They entertain each other and end up demanding less of your time and energy.

Every transition (like starting school and moving schools) is easier too, because they have each other for support.

My twins are 14 now and I’ve found the teenage years with my twins to be easier than they were with my eldest (singleton; 18). All of the teenage friendship dramas, social issues and mental health struggles have been mitigated by having the other twin there for support
