| As a mom of twins...I would ask the mom of the girls. Do what she thinks is best. That's what I'd want for my kids. Some twins are ready for it at 6, some are not.

| They really need to be independent of each other, so alone time is great. It also gives you the opportunity to spend one on one time with the one twin when the other is off doing something else. Of course you hope that the uninvited twin's feelings aren't hurt, but that's a life lesson too!

| I have twin girls and I think that it is good for them to have time apart....they really don't get time alone very often, but they deserve to have their own friends.

| I am the mother of eight-year-old twin boys, and the very first time someone invited one twin over and not the other, I was horrified - but that was mostly because I tended to think of them as a unit. Where one went, so did the other. I learned quickly that I needed to change my way of thinking. My boys, close as they are, enjoy time away from each other. They like to experience some things individually and even resent the presence of their twin at times. It is perfectly fine for you to invite one twin without the other. Having individual experiences helps to shape them as separate people and gives them something special to talk about with their twin. It also helps them to create a memory that is uniquely their own.

| Thank you all for your input. I feel much better, I will continue to have both over, but allow my daughter to have one over from time to time. This parenting thing is a lot harder then I thought. I just want cool toys and be able to go to G movies again. Ah, the dilemma of it all. Thanks for letting me know I was on the right track! You all are the best!

I don't have twins so I have no clue how this affects one, but I think as long as both of the twins are invited over occasinally, then it is perfectly fine to invite only one of them over. If the parent has a problem just explain that at that particular time your daughter would like to have some one on one time and perhaps another time both of them could come over to play.
So as long as its not all the time I think its fine. Good luck!

Mom's of twins---
My daughter is 6, and she likes both twins, but prefers one more than the other, is it okay to invite one from time to time?? Or would that hurt the other one? What age does this stop being a concern???? Just want to do what is right for everyone. Any thoughts? Thanks!
