this is something I still do. It’s just personal choice. The first relationship I was in was the guy who took my virginity. We had a great few years together but it just didn’t work out. He gave me beautiful Captain America jewellery, a necklace, rings and a bracelet. I’m now in a new relationship but I still wear them every single day. I’m not with him anymore but I just can’t face throwing them away or putting them in a drawer incase they get ruined. It’s just personal choice in the end, everyone has their reasons.

I agree. My daughter was in a long term relationship and received 2 Pandora bracelets off her bf. Both have been filled with a mixture of charms from him and our various family members. She was briefly in a toxic relationship with a guy who told her not to wear them and she was considering selling them. I went mad when I found out, it’s not up to anyone else if you wear jewellery bought by someone else. If you love the jewellery and it’s been bought for you then wear it duck what anyone else thinks. The only thing I would think weird is if it were an engagement or wedding ring or a piece of jewellery that was given as a token of love like an “I love you” charm or wife of gf of something.

I don’t have twins, but I have two with a year age gap, so maybe it’s different but does she really need to buy two of every toy? Do other parents do this or is it mean that I just make mine share😂

My cousin has twins and she literally buys 2 of everything, and when I say everything, I mean everything. Even things children should know to share, for example, trampoline - yep 2 of them! I think it's over the top! I can understand why you might buy 2 of certain things, but it's unnecessary for everything.

I just meant she constantly said after the break up he was abusive, controlling, nasty, cheated... why keep things with reminders. When I left my abusive ex I got rid of everything that reminded me of him and had a fresh start

I buy two of everything for my twins but big things they get one and share it

I’m a twin and can vouch that my mum never bought two of anything unless needed bottles, cutlery etc. I can’t remember ever feeling like I didn’t have what my brother had as we shared, we might’ve argued at one point but I don’t have any lasting memories of it as my mum nipped it in the bud rather than giving in to two toddlers🙃😂

My sister had her son 4 months after my little sister was born we lived with our older sister and people considered my nephew and little sister as twins might be different because obviously there boy and girl but she would buy them presents each and then a few toys and that they would share like my nephew would actually play with my sisters dolls and pram and they’ll play mum and dads 😂

Also why do they always do an Q&A on what to get there kids? They’re your kids you should know what to get them, what they would like and what they would probably play with 😂
 
I have a boy and girl and I just make them sure, wether it’s dolls, books, prams, costumes.. I can understand buying them their own scooters, bikes stuff like that, but it just seems lazy to buy them two of absolutely everything, I get it may be hard having twins, but surely when they’re toddlers it’s pretty similar to have two children close in age and you would just make them share?

I have twins and honestly it is easier to buy them both the same stuff. They are great at sharing and theg like the same things but that doesn't mean one should get a toy and the other doesn't because the other should share It. If its what the wee one wants whats the issue.

Because a lot of the things she’s buying are things that are very easily shared, there’s times when both my kids want the same toy but I’ll still only buy one because there is no need to have two of the same toy just to avoid arguments.. I agree it probably is easier and yes it would probably make my life easier if I just got two of all their toys but it’s so much nicer for them to learn to share the one toy they have

It depends on what shes buying

Yeah I agree, certain things I can understand why she would buy two of, however it seems she just buys two of everything and whatever she buys one from a present she will buy the other.. she even admitted only one is actually interested in a scooter but she’s just going to buy two anyway, but why not buy something she would actually like or even buy one a scooter and one a balance bike, that way they both get something similar, but they can still share them and if and when they both get interested in them then buy their own ones

Oh yeah definitely understand that.

Why buy one something if they have no interest in it

Honestly to me at times doing what Charlotte doing it’s really taking away a child’s individuality and really letting them be themselves especially with the dressing them up in the same clothes I get it makes them look cute and that and it’s probably easier but it’s like she just sees them as “twins” and when they grow up they’re just gonna be defined as “twins” and not as themselves and I hope they all do grow out of it and sees the girls as individuals
