Not sure if I have worded that correctly but I have 5 year old twin girls in year 1. They are in different classes but meet a lot during the school day for play, lunch etc. Twin 2 is very sociable, has lots of friends and doesn't seem to "need" her sister as much as she needs her. Twin 1 is quieter, less confident, less sociable. Twin 2 told me this morning that Twin 1 often has lunch on her own. DH is horrified by this and insisted that Twin 2 includes her with her own friends and makes sure she isn't alone. But is this fair. If they were normal siblings and not twins, they wouldn't even be having lunch together, or play time probably. So should this responsibility be heaped on her shoulders.
