does anyone here not get on with their twin at all?

Twins are so connected that they don't realise they are one and the same.  They both share some attributes but are also like  chalk and cheese on others.  Understanding this is the beginning of understanding what makes us different but also what bonds us.

I would not like to have an identical twin. No matter how different you are people will always get you and your twin mixed up. \n\nWherever you go people will always know you as "one of the twins". I guess being born identical, you don't know what it's like to not have a twin. \n\nI could not deal with it. People wouldn't see me for who I was they would just think it was so cool that I had a twin. I don't believe that there are many advantages to having an identical twin. Despite movies that show twins switching when they want to and using their twin to their advantage. \n\nI have cousins who are identical and even though they look exacty the same, they couldn't switch on me. Anybody who knows identicals for a month could diffrentiate between them. It's the little nuances. So I don't think they can really have an easy time fooling anyone.\n\nOf course there is "the twin telepathy" said to be felt solely by twins. They can tell when the other is happy or sad or whatever if they had no idea what happened. Of course you would more easily empathize with a twin because they look just like you. You feel like it's you going through their pain. But I think non-identical siblings could be the same way. \n\nBasically what I'm saying is that if you are born a certain way it's not all that amazing to you. It's cool how it is amazing to others around you. But I'm sure that it get's old after awhile. Because as a twin it's just how you are. \n\nI couldn't deal with bumping in to my reflection everyday! It's cool to some extent. It's just...not for me!

I'm a twin, and we do have similar traits, we think on the same wavelength, but our personalities differ, i am outgoing, my brother is more laid back. So, i think it's in the genes.i'm like my dad, he's like my mum.

I am only only girl with two brothers.  It was okay.  \nThey beat up on me a good deal, but now the one is really close and the other distant.  I think a sister would have been a better option, at least one.

I am a twin, and as much as my sister hates me sometimes, we always make up. Hang in there, she'll forgive and forget. She'll need you to have her back someday, and hopefully you'll be there. stay strong. Twin  Power!!!

Peace in the home is so important.  Try to find a way to get along with them.  Perhaps use a counselor.  Maybe, if you give it a chance, you can actually become close and enjoy a relationship with them as sisters.  Good luck.  I'm sure there's a lot more to this story than is presented here.

ohhhhhhhhh. I hate know-it-all-inlaws. I have a sister in law like that and a mother in law that butts in and makes me feel stupid.\nThe only thing you can do is smile and endure. Pretend like you dont hear them or something.

This is such a coincidence! I was reading an article about Twins and I saw your question here... One of the story relates to your question, so here it goes...\n\nTwin coincidence? \n\nMe and My twin are both 13 and live in the UK. We have the same friends and have always been in the same class. We are identical an even close family members find it hard to tell us apart. We enjoy the same things and like the same food but still class ourselves as two unique people. Sometimes we completely agree and sometimes we disagree; we have our own views and feelings (for example I'm a lot more sensitive than my twin).\n\nOur story starts last May 2001. I woke up on a Tuesday morning for school, we have separate rooms and I'm always up first. Anyway I went into the bathroom and started up the shower but when I changed I noticed I'd started menstruating (started my periods). I was shocked and went to tell mum. Later that day at school I was sitting in my Spanish class (my sister doesn't take Spanish) and I got a message from the office saying my sister was upset and that she wouldn't say what was wrong. Apparently my sister had just started her periods too! It was on the exact same day which was really strange and on most months we menstruate at the same time :O) \n\n\nSo....... according to this story, it is quite possible, BUT I really don't think that it wouldn't happen to every twin on the planet! Because every girl is different physically and they go through different hormonal change!\n\nI hope this makes sense!

Grow up!  She's family, and if you have a problem with her, you need to talk to her directly!  Who cares if she is a twin or not??  You need to deal with this issue as soon as you can!  And the right way to deal with it is not to not buy her a present, to show your displeasure with her!

Wow!  Good Luck to you.  \nThis got my attention because my eldest daughter was born on 24th July 1986.\nNo, she isn't your twin lol, but I just wanted to reply anyway to wish you good luck.\nI was adopted out at birth, and when I was 14 I met a boy who became a great friend.  He was the same height as me (a shorty), the same skin and hair colour, was also born on the same day, in the same hospital and was also adopted out.\nI was convinced we were twins until I met my birth mother when I was 26 and she told me, no I wasn't a twin, but she remembered another baby being born and adopted out the same day as me.\nBest wishes, and if anyone sees Gerard tell him Sarah's lookin for him ;)

I believe identical twins and fraternal twins are both hereditary. It is quite common what your cousin has experienced.
