Cons of Having a Twin

In my last blog I discussed the benefits of having a twin, but I haven't always felt that way.

Growing up I always felt compared to my brother and it felt like a constant competition when we were around our family. It always bothered me when Anthony would get more attention than I would for doing something great like a piano recital or winning an award. It's not that I wasn't happy for him it just was annoying when my family would sit in front of us and rank our accomplishments as to whose were better. I would always feel that I needed to one-up my brother at all times.

It also bothered me how I always had to share everything. It didn't get bad until we got older when we had to share our first car. I constantly had activities and practices after school so I got the car most of the time, but every once in a while the car would be magically gone when I got out of practice. It was annoying to say the least.

I also always hated wearing the same clothes as Anthony, which I'll talk more about in my next blog post. Despite all these setbacks, growing up with Anthony wasn't too bad.
