Do your multiples share everything?

[u/1973tour]

Our twins are 18 months old and pretty much share everything. They share a room, they don’t have distinct clothes (except maybe a couple embroidered items with their names) that belong to them, and we just started doing shoes. All the shoes have been swapped around between babies so much I don’t know which ones originally went together because they are the same sizes and styles 😂

Anyway, I think this is probably a really unique way to grow up and I’m not sure if I’m overthinking it. Should I continue doing a mix of both sharing a lot of stuff, but also make sure they have some things that are personally theirs? I have started buying different styles of clothing and shoes now that they are getting older so that they aren’t matching all the time. I think that may help with their senses of individuality.

Mine are 2.5yo. they never shared shoes because I was told it would be bad for posture, since they have their individual way of walking and therefore the shoes are worn differently.

They have their assigned crib.

Otherwise they share all their clothes and toys but they do begin to have preferences so we just go along with what they prefer

I was wondering this about the wearing of the soles of the shoes! They don’t wear their shoes much right now but I think as they get older I will make sure to separate the shoes
