A sad thing

I met a woman in the supermarket this week who told me that she had twins who were now in their 40s. Boy and girl too like me. The sad thing was that her children had had a fall out when they were 17 and hadn't spoken since.

It made me feel so sad for her and them. You hope so much that being twins they'll be especially close and it must be hard if it doesn't turn out that way.

remember, for every fall out there are plenty more best friends. My little sisters are twins and they cant go an hour or two without communicating. Even their bfs are best friends!

Totally off the topic but does it ever make you feel left out that they are so close??

And Helen thats very sad.

That is so sad Helen, it must be very hard for their mum :(

Aww, that's really sad. It's hard when siblings fall out, but for twins, that's even harder.

I'm going to a party on the 12th April though Helen - it's a 40th for twin blokes that I've known since I was 4, and they are still best friends.

In the town nearby there is a set of identical twins, males.
They must be about late 50's, early 60's now, they wear exact identical clothes, work in the same job and every step they take is in time with their sibling, their quite well known and very happy people.

It must be so hard to watch such close siblings fall out.

I'd be more than tempted to engineer a way to get them together and talk it out, get to the root of the situation - actually I'd want to do that to any siblings not just twins/multiples, because family means a lot to me and those around me.

that is really sad :(

I personally can't see how siblings can fall out that badly. I have a sister, a step sister and 2 step brothers.

I'm really close to my sister and even though we've had our falling outs which have sometimes lasted a week or more, we know we'd never properly fall out. We are totally opposite but it works. She's a security guard, into martial arts and I'm a real girly girl. The same with my brothers and step sister (who I've grown up with). We are less close but again would never fall out for long.

The rest of my family aren't the same though. My mum and her brother don't really like each other and go out of their way to avoid each other. They never have a good word to say & they are also very opposite - my mum a recovering alcoholic who lives a scary hippy like life & doesn't work and my uncle who's a multi millionaire.

My nan also doesn't get on with her brother and sister. They can go several years at a time and not speak. If you visit one of them they're always slagging off the other. :dohh:

That's so sad

aawww thats so sad xxx

tilly, yes it does make me feel left out a lot of the time. but thats life

That must be terrible to deal with, my girls are the best of friends but they are very jealous if one has a hug and not the other

my mum's an identical twin and her and my aunty fell out and didnt speak for years. they make up for it now, they speak every day even tho they're on opposite sides of the country. it was mad growing up when we did get together tho cos we could never tell who was who as they always dye their hair the same colour and wear the same-ish clothes (by accident). i remember my little sister bein about 5, walkin up to my aunty giivin her a hug and sayin "morning mum". its well mad tho, they've got the whole twin psychic thing goin on, they buy each other the same birthday cards and everythin!

I agree that is sad, no matter if they are twins or not. It's sad when siblings have a falling out. It's very hard on their Mothers for sure.
