1. Feeling guilty about not treating the twins equally..

 Dear parents of older twins, I need your advice. My two
 are so different, I could never even get them on the
 same schedule. Since our girl has always been more high
 energy, demanding, non-sleeping, tantruming (you get
 the picture) twin, I am always quenching the fire with
 her and whoever is available (daddy, grandma, helper)
 is dealing with her more easy going brother. Usually
 the little guy is rather flexible and doesn't mind.
 Only occasionally we have sibling rivalry displays. Our
 girl is always about 4 months ahead of the boy - she
 crawled, walked, talked first. She can explain herself
 very well now at 2y 2m, she is more mature in many ways
 in spite of a difficult temper. Our boy is mumbling
 something and often we have no idea what he wants and
 he just cries in frustration. He is mostly a very sweet
 boy, but today I was shocked to witness him raging. I
 think he really had enough after I turned off the music
 he liked because his sister was screaming her had off
 to make me turn it off. He was all shaking and red and
 pounding his little fists at me. I felt so bad, but
 what can I do with the two of them screaming in the
 car. He was still screaming and raging for half an hour
 after we got out... I feel like this was the last drop
 and I need to instill some rules to make the poor guy
 feel in control at least some of the times. Would be
 happy to listen to any advice or personal experiences.
 Many thanks in advance!

 Is there still a group that meets up every Friday at La
 Boulange at noon? I went last Friday and there was no
 one there. And if anyone is interested in having a
 playgroup who live around Noe, I am down to host. I
 have 6 week old g/b twins and a 18 month old.
