Moving forward I will model the language that I prefer. While I do consider this issue to be important to me personally, upon reflection, it doesn't need to take up so much brainspace. Thank you all for your responses, I read and meditated on every single one of them. I don't understand why it's not sufficient to say that she has two granddaughters. What do I say to get her to stop? It makes me feel like she's only proud of them or thinks they're special because they're twins. We also had multiple conversations about not dressing them alike but she still buys identical outfits for them. When I was pregnant my husband and I made it clear that we were not going to do this, that we would refer to them as the girls or the babies or the kids. Lately she's been giving little lectures in her hometown and the bio that appears in the paper says she's a mother of four and has twin granddaughters. Her mom's obituary listed all the great-grandchildren, including my tWiN dAuGhTeRs - she didn't ask me how I wanted them listed - none of the other great-grandchildren were clarified to be singletons. My mom insists on calling my girls "tHe TwInS" all the time. TIPS: If you have a tip worth sharing, please contact the Tuscaloosa County Sheriff's Office and/or the private investigator.
