Having Multiple Children Is Way Over-rated
From my observation I perceive having multiples as difficult and stressful while at the same time being eventful and always exciting with never a dull moment. I have seen twins have tantrums because their other half has something that they may want. I have seen teenage female triplets steal each others clothes to pretend that they are the other sister. I have friends that have acted as each other to do class work or hang out with different people who couldn't tell the difference between them.
From things that happen around me my only advice to a parent of multiples would be to make sure that you can tell the difference between your identicals because they are usually the ones that scam people or need a little more attention than the fraternal multiples who are born different with their own identities. Identical multiples tend to shy away or rebel because they feel as if the world expects them to be like the majority all of the time.
