The 26 year old mum, who lives in Melbourne, posted the following image on Instagram, saying:
“…You get asked a series of questions/hear a series of statements EVERYTIME you go out. 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… but I chickened out on the train and took them off!”
The hilarious image that Annie posted.
The signs read:
YES, THEY ARE MINE.
YES, THEY ARE TWINS.
YES, BOTH GIRLS
NO, NOT IDENTICAL
YES, I KOW THEY LOOK ALIKE THOUGH.
YES, I’M SURE THEY AREN’T IDENTICAL
CONCEIVED BY F**CKING
BORN VIA C-SECTION
YOU HAVE TWINS IN YOUR FAMILY? “GREAT”
THEY DON’T RUN IN MY FAMIILY…UNTIL NOW
YES, MY HANDS ARE FULL (sometimes with 2 glasses of red wine)
YES, TRIPLETS WOULD BE HARDER
Annie says that she is frequently bombarded questions from people who are a little too curious about her twin daughters, Delphine and Cheska: “I’m so happy to talk but I don’t think people understand that it’s tiring being a mum of twins, or just multiple kids. We’re fighting the poo-feed-sleep-bath schedule and stopping to talk all the time interrupts the strict routine that we hold to just to keep our world turning,” Annie told The Daily Mail.
Take a look at Annie’s beautiful and fun children: (Post continues after gallery.)
"Delphi and Cheska leaving the house for the first time since their 15mins of facebook fame""Delphine at the #NGV""Cheska at the #NGV""#NGV"""While you were sleeping I found this lemonade in the fridge and I ACCIDENTLY drank some." Oh, that's okay then Malachy. I suppose it was only an accident ???????? P.S- Almost everyone is still sleeping in my house and it is 10am!""Boys doing post footy game stuff, so us girls go cafe-ing. I'm not gonna lie, I love it just being girls. We are much more civilised creatures!""These two couldn't have danced, sang or clapped any harder today! An incredible performance, so fantastic for kids and I highly recommend. My girls don't have a single bit of energy left so, much to my horror, have fallen asleep on the train only an hour and a half before bedtime and are absolutely unable to be woken!????"
On her blog, Uncanny Annie, Annie says that she got the idea after joking with other parents of twins about the questions they are always asked. Annie was brave enough to keep the signs on during her train trip into the city, but “chickened out” before while she was on the train
The Daily Mail says that Annie is vision impaired and so she spends a lot of her time catching public transport. When she is stopped in the street, it often disrupts her routine that keeps her steady.
