Mom Adds FAQ Signs To Her Twins After Getting Fed Up With Strangers’ Questions
195Kviews
Annie Nolan, a 26-year-old mom in Melbourne, loves to talk about her two-year-old twin daughters Delphine and Cheska, but after fielding too many repetitive questions, she created a pair of funny FAQ signs for the two girls that have since gone viral.
“As a twin mum, you get asked a series of questions/hear a series of statements EVERYTIME you go out,” she writes on her Instagram. “I know most people are coming from a great place and are just curious however many can be quite intrusive and after a while it’s just plain exhausting. And since I was heading into the city, I knew the questions would be coming thick and fast…”

“I know most people… are just curious however many can be quite intrusive and after a while it’s just plain exhausting”
“And since I was heading into the city, I knew the questions would be coming thick and fast…”
“It’s a joke people!… My twins are MY FAVOURITE TOPIC to talk about!”
They’re so adorable, it’s no wonder the mom is showered with questions!

cute parents too :)
My daughter used to get asked if her twins were conceived by IVF. How rude of people to ask such personal questions.
I don't think that's rude at all. It's a simple question. If they're saying it rudely, that's different. But many twins and triplets ARE conceived via IVF. And many are concieved naturally. It's not rude, it's simple curiousity. Maybe that person is looking into IVF for themselves. Maybe they are worried about having twins because it runs in their own family. Maybe they are jerks who are just being jerks .... to each their own. There are certainly worse things you can ask, or insinuate.
Wrong!! It is none of your business.
If you don't know why it's rude, ask your mommy. Or whatever other nice adult takes care of you.
what IS IVF ? xP
Hahah oh what a cruel cruel world it is! How DO you get on?! It's much be so hard. How dare anyone ask such despicable questions about something as innocent and common as child birth! Have the heavens no mercy at all?!? LMAO :D :D :D
Well I think they should mind their own business and I would tell them that!
well, I knew a woman who had quads (3 girls and 1 boy) and it's REALLY hard not to ask that question in that situation. and Yes, it was IVF.
Unless you are a CLOSE friend or relative, this is totally rude! What difference does it make to you?? None at all...just people being nosey...
I don't see how it WOULDN'T be rude to ask somebody how they're kids were conceived! You don't walk up to a stranger and ask about they're sex life! I get that some twins did need IVF, but not only does it make you look stupid, but WHY would you ask that? I used to Nanny my sister's twins and everyone thought I was the mother and asked ENDLESS questions, so I know how this woman feels! My brother and sister are almost 2 years apart, and people would still ask if they were twins! Me and my mom would look at them as it they we're crazy. ;-)
You forgot the popular How old are they?
At what age do children/young adults tell their age in full years? By that I mean it goes something like this - 6 weeks..12 weeks...6 months..12 months...18 months...2 ...2 1/2...nearly 5 etc
Pfft, please. I'm still 324 months old.
Don't you just hate it when they say "41 months old". WhoTF wants to do so much Maths?
after year i got too lazy to count it, so i used "1and something"; "1,5almost"; "almost two"; two and something.... etc.
And "are they the same age?" (!) I love that one, especially after you've said they're twins.
I have twin girls and I know how she feels. They are not identical, no help was used to make them, they do however run in my husband family, had them natural. My biggest thing was awww are they girls, boys? I would have them in dress with cute bows. I wanted to many times say nope they are boys they just look cuter as a girl. Lol
I know how it is... I have a twin sister, not identical and ppl still ask stupid questions when i say i have non-identical twin, for example: "How can you be twins if you don't look alike?!". And when they ask my mother she just replies: "Google it!" or "Is that supposed to be a smart question?" :D BTW cute twins
Ha ha! I love your mums reply :-D
Oh what creative photo's! Very cute! Some people just think that you have a right to their opinion. Always indulge the ones who speak kindly, and ignore the ones who speak with venom. They are only hurting themselves.
That's so funny.
That snowman is adorably disfunctional
Cute family! :)
oh that's so sad for her that people are interested in her kids
Apparently you didn't read the “It’s a joke people!… My twins are MY FAVOURITE TOPIC to talk about!” part.
Congrats to happy family!
LOL Love it :D <3
Wow she has a great bod after having two kids.
AWWW!
A women looked into our twin-baby carriage an said: "Oh! Twins! How convinient!!"
I had boy/girl twins. You would be surprised at how many people would ask if they were identical. Not so much as they had different plumbing~! :P
You can have boy/girl identical twins.
I certainly hope you're joking, you can't have identical twins of different sex .
Not on this planet.
I like it. Who wouldn't except for the most curmudgeonly, flint-hearted person
You have a wonderful family!
Adorable family!
Awwww - that whole family is very cute :d My fav of these photos is dad as jungle gym for the kiddies :D
I'ma twin too, and me and my sister keep on getting asked questions like those, mainly "What's it like being a twin?" too which we respond "What's it like NOT being a twin" Ofcourse some people treat it like we're SO AMAZING and MAGICAL. It's quite funny actually. What I hate though, is when people say that they would LOVE to have a twin. They think it's gonna be a BFF relationship forever. Well sorry, but statistics show that twins, triplets, quadruplets etc, fight the most. huh.
Funny.
This is just rude to people who are being convivial and social. After this I'd be saying "Here comes that grouchy bitch with those stupid kids."
kittykittykat!
love the way they were so gentle with the kitten!!!
hello
Aw :33333333333
Poor girl. Life is awful tough.
:) awwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww
oh no, not repetitive questions. i'm bitter now-gonna be a great mother
get flustered and bitter with repetitive questions. yeah, she's gonna make a great mother.
“It’s a joke people!… My twins are MY FAVOURITE TOPIC to talk about!”
How dare those crappy people attempt to make polite conversation with you by feigning interest in your children. Maybe if you wear headphones or act deaf and can only sign they will live you and your princesses alone.
Apparently you also missed the “It’s a joke people!… My twins are MY FAVOURITE TOPIC to talk about!” part.
The mom is hot ^^
