Just when I think I’ve gotten through to one of my kids and we experience peace for one evening, the other one explodes with fury. Yes, it’s a fact! Fraternal twins are, according to definition, dizygotic (DZ) twins, also commonly called “non-identical twins“, or in our case, “
At times, they band together and stick up for one another, but this is about as often as I’ve seen Halley’s Comet which is visible from Earth about every 75 years! LOL! Mostly, and yes I’ve said this before, they yell, tease and yelp at one another, with the intensity of caged animals.
Lately, with the teens years approaching, I’ve been moving at dizzying speeds from one to the other kid, adjusting their very personal smarty-pants attitudes. We like to call this, dual attitude adjustments in parenting terms. These types of corrections must be made for the family unit to survive!
Do we think that perhaps this is the beginning of the hormonal orbit? Why yes, I think it could be. What else would cause a perfectly fine kid to fire off like a solar flare? This sudden, large release of energy occurs when magnetic energy builds up in the atmosphere. This type of behavior is becoming more and more common as we approach middle school.
I hear this is where my entire life, as I know it, will be turned upside down. Am I ready for it? No, and hell no! Is there any logical escape other than a trip to my favorite planet, Jupiter? No escape. For those of my readers who have been down this road before, please feel free to lay it on the line, don’t sugar-coat it and tell me what I’m really in for. Until then, there’s vodka!
