It is unavoidable with siblings, whether they are twins or not. <br /><br />We have a first in, first served rule, but if someone else fancies a toy that someone else is playing with then they get 'five more minutes until time to share'. It usually works okay. I haven't tried a timer like reanbean suggested, perhaps the microwave timer could be the go though?MultipleMumhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00621170366257326241noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8596567296179908968.post-69746989867003101142010-07-29T19:40:54.450-05:002010-07-29T19:40:54.450-05:00I just found your blog, and I am loving reading ab...I just found your blog, and I am loving reading about your adventures!

They both want to be there soooo bad. The nice thing is that one will wait patiently while he does whatever fun "dad" thing he's doing until it is their turn, then the other will wait patiently. i'm hoping that patient part lasts forever :)<br /><br />strongblonde.wordpress.comAprilhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15284888960220424566noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8596567296179908968.post-40732133264790657912010-07-29T12:33:32.416-05:002010-07-29T12:33:32.416-05:00My guys have very few toys that specifically belon...My guys have very few toys that specifically belong to one or the other, so we have our fair share of squabbling over toys from time to time as well. Sometimes they'll request that I set the timer to keep track of who's turn it is (this idea came from comments at this post- http://www.hdydi.com/2009/11/yours-mine-and-ours/#comments), and once the timer is set, the other one usually will wait fairly patiently until it is his/her turn.Renaehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08318311170413043717noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8596567296179908968.post-43947487870883972382010-07-29T10:20:16.973-05:002010-07-29T10:20:16.973-05:00Isn't it crazy?

I have given "placebo" motrin (sad to say they both say medicine really well!) but a fake eyedrop? Now they're both addicted to hand sanitizer.Juleshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05117769049418358905noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8596567296179908968.post-73540735694538481122010-07-29T10:19:30.553-05:002010-07-29T10:19:30.553-05:00I know what you mean about the jealousy.

It is amazing how sweet they are to each other and other times are so mean. One has started biting the other for toys. We are really having to work on that.Rochelle@AFamilyofLooneyshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04605268552555514174noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8596567296179908968.post-80883078661026627212010-07-29T09:04:53.572-05:002010-07-29T09:04:53.572-05:00I can so relate, and also every time I do somethin...I can so relate, and also every time I do something for one he/she will point to the other and demand I do the same to them too.Mohinihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07090395666645342389noreply@blogger.com
