Let's be honest: even if you think you have an excellent memory, the combination of sleep deprivation and caring for two babies will quickly prove you wrong. Those early weeks with twins at home create a perfect storm of exhaustion that makes even the simplest details slip away.

Here's the reality: you're responsible for keeping two little humans alive and thriving, but your brain feels like it's running on fumes. That's where logging becomes your lifeline.

With twins in the house a big point of contention will be sharing.

You might think that the easy way for you as the parent would be to get two of everything.

However, this surely won't work all the time and definitely doesn't build character. And as we all know, your job as a dad, of course, is to "build character." Right?

This was often the case in our home where one girl always wanted what the other had even if there were two identical items.

So you have to solve the root problem to get a peaceful and happy home: teach your twins how to share from a very early age.

One of the challenges with twins is that they get sick. Sickness doesn't always strike both twins simultaneously. Your twins will catch a cold, get the flu, have a stomach bug, or come down with any number of other contagious illnesses. This brings up the question: how do you keep one twin healthy when the other is sick?
