A family that I saw in the program Nanny 911 visited a family for a week to help them with their children. The family was amazing because they had three sets pf twins. The oldest ones had been adopted into the family, the middle two had been test tube babies and the youngest two had come from a surprise pregnancy. I was so interested to see that the family had three sets of twins.
What do you think of the family with three sets of twins?
Would you like to have twins? Why?

a super family friend, how they are managing three sets of twins?
the problem with twins is when they make any mistake we cant find who made that mistake,its really difficult to identify twins.usually they will buy similar dresses for twins.if we go to take a single dress itself it will take more time,for three set of twins means sure one day wont be sufficient for shopping.my sister too have twins thank god one is girl and one is boy so no problem.
wish you a happy new year friend :)

Wow - three sets of twins and such different circumstances for each! To have adopted twins and then end up pregnant twice with them is quite a story to tell when visitors ask eh?!

my aunt has her twins. but in any other direct relatives of mine, they didn't have any other twins. maybe the genes of my twin cousins came from their father's side. well, it was confusing to have identical twins. even myself got doubtful which name will i call when we were younger. quite funny but i was wanting to identify which unique features they have each of them. i love them both. they both have their kids now but they didn't have any twins though.

My great grand father was one of 21 children and there were three sets of twins in that family.
Twins used to happen because either two eggs were fertilized at the same time so either two eggs were let out of one side or one out of each side or one egg douplicated itself. In the case of different eggs, those are fraternal and in the case of the duplicated egg, identical.
Now a days, the possible ways of doing it unnaturally, you listed two such wasy about for the first two. Many people take fertility pills and their body makes many eggs. I wouldn't mind adopting a set of twins. Test tube babies, that's scary because what if something goes wrong? The fertility pills, some women have had 8, 9, 10 babies at once. I can't have children with my own body, tumors were in there instead so the uterus is gone. 3 sets of twins is a lot. I think one set is just fine. That would be hard enough

I think having twins is fun, in the future, when I get my own family, I hope I have twins so that it will be like "one time big time" pregnancy. I heard, and I am quite sure that giving birth is painful, and I think I wouldn't like to repeat it more than once haha.

it may be fun to look at, but I think that raising kids is full time, difficult job and 3 sets of twins wouldn't be easy...
In the other hand, twins are so attached to each other, it helps because they have each other companion to begin with....

Hmmm. That's interesting. I noticed that there are more twins now than there was then. I have a nephew twins which we never expected, because we don't have that lineage; but i like to have twins. i just don't think it would be quite easy.
If i have three sets, that would be a riot. lol.

I have twins and I managed to survive their infancy with my sanity intact (more or less). I also want to mention that I made a point to have my tubes tied after having the twins. 
Kudos to anybody who can raise that many children and do it with love, discipline, etc. The fact that they had to reach out to Nanny 911 certainly says something though, doesn't it?

It sure is a blessing to be thrown on anyone. DOuble the love double the fun double everything. Twins run in my family and my fiance's family. We both want twins as well and are soo hopeful. Even when i was pregnant everyone would say you sure there isn't two in there. Not because i was big but they were afraid one might hide behind an other and i wouldn't know untill labor. LOL!
