Imagine having adorable twin daughters who are proud of their individuality, only for a close family member to constantly dismiss their identities. That’s the situation one mom found herself in, when her sister-in-law refused to address her 6-year-old twins, Amy and Nina, by their names. Instead, she insisted on calling them ‘the twins’ and making no effort to distinguish them. The mom’s had enough and decided to ban her sister-in-law from her house until she learns to respect her daughters’ names. But was she too harsh?
