Scroll down for the full story and to see the online debate her clip started!
Its been bugging me the entire drive to work.
Last night we received an invitation for one of my two twin girls to go to a birthday party.
One of the two of them.
Ive been racking my brain on what to do.
I knew that this was gonna happen eventually.
I just didnt think that it was gonna happen, you know, at this age.
Either answer is fine, um, but just let me know.
According to arecent studyfrom Oxford, around 1.6 million twins are delivered every year around the globe.
However, things might change from here on out.
Africa and Asia make up nearly four-fifths of all twin deliveries in the world.
Techniques like IVF, ICSI, artificial insemination, and ovarian stimulation increase the chance of multiple births.
As does the increased use of contraception, lower fertility, and deciding to start families later in life.
For her, it was an all-or-nothing scenario so that nobody would feel left out.
I did think about it, because my girls are super identical,a she said.
According to the mom, she got amassive hatea for broaching the topic on TikTok.
Some internet users accused her of being entitled.
aThey told me that my twins are individuals and theyre going to have their own friends.
And look, I totally agree.
There will be a time and place where only one gets invited to things.
These kids are so young, and theyre in the same class and theyre the same gender.
People were like, How dare you think about reaching out to the mom to confirm?
Good communication is always the right approach.
Either answer was totally okay and I truly mean that.
We werent expecting twins, let alone identical twins.
Then after the girls turned 1, it was like there was nothing available to me, she said.
Other twin moms were really buttoned up and put together and I was hanging on by a thread.
I dont have time to do my hair or makeup.
I wanted to share authentically and honestly what its like to be a mom of twins.
Theres been so much support and it also helps others.
The topic caught a lot of parents attention online.
