Having multiple kids is weird. You have one kid you could trust to be home alone for a whole weekend & you know they'd eat vegetables, lock the doors, & wash the dishes.
Then you have another kid who is not allowed to hold an umbrella.
And they're almost the same age.
@cmconseils I used to commute on a train for half an hour, there and back, to school at 11. The thought of putting my 10-year old kid on a bus for ten minutes horrifies her more than it does me.

It is amazing at how the same genetic stock can put out different personalities.
My sister had seven kids. No clones in that family.
@cmconseils I have 3 siblings. We were all raised by the same parents in mostly the same house (a few moves). We are so different we might as well be from separate planets.
🖖@cmconseils
Have a 21 yo and a 22 yo.
22 has a job, lives with his gf and just completed a degree, now looking to get on a masters course heading for PHD.
21 is a feral bedroom goblin with a 28 hour cycle that never aligns with the rest of the world.
@cmconseils My boys are 4 years apart and also very much the opposite of their brother. One comes 💯 % after his father, also the looks, the other is basiscally a very fine male version of me. 🥰
@cmconseils at the dinner table I was just apologising to my partner that my 3 children are miniature copies of me, and I'm sorry we are all like this
@cmconseils my younger kid would lock the door and eat the vegetables
@shinydan @cmconseils big same here. I was walking a mile and a half each way to school. My son started secondary a few months ago and still wants walking to the bus stop ten minutes away, across a single not very busy road.
