Twinship
Me I liked how the author described the relationship between those twins especially the way they were close but what got me was "The punishment sharing policy " where one can be taking a punishment of the other and their mother was not ok with their policy that made her punishing them together for something that one of them had done.
It shows me how the love between twins is very deep that no one can't separate their feelings.

Punish them both, as Lena did?
Let them share the punishment, but make the punishment twice as tough?
Or just let them share a normal punishment, so that each only gets half of what you intended? Does that approach encourage misbehavior, since they know they can get away with doing anything and only get "half punishment"? Does that then create resentment in the "innocent" twin who didn't want to go along with the other one's idea but now is stuck sharing punishment for something they didn't do?
For me, the twins in the book raised more questions than they settled. Maybe a parent of twins can clarify how this works in real life.

Lmao. Good! I'm clapping in my head.Cynthia Olyy wrote: ↑01 Oct 2020, 05:58 I had a firsthand experience of this kind of love between twins. Once, a girl was confronted by a bully, her twin sister appeared in the scene and they both gave this bully a thorough beating. Twinship comes with a special kind of relationship that every parent needs to pay very serious attention to.
I don't know if this closeness that twins feel is due to just being twins or if it is as a result of our culture of putting them together, treating them as the same, giving them the exact same clothes and toys, whatever, from childhood.
That us, I don't know if twins would have that same kind of close connection, if they were brought up in different homes, let's say.
Maybe it is not a forgone conclusion that twins will always be tight, as they're portrayed in the book and in general.
