Probaly living with them - you get to know who is impatient - who's the screamer & which one is quiet.

Of course with quads you double the difficulty, but I have a set of identcal twin sisters

(they really could fool people!  They went to each other's classes in school!) and my family members could easily tell who was who.  the slightest differences become apparent when you are living with them.  Strangers were usually clueless.

When my grandsons were born, it was hard to tell them apart.  Someone must have given my DIL a tip...good one...put a different color nail polish on the big toe of each one before any I.D. Bracelets come off.  So, she did....red, blue and yellow as I recall.  That sure helped!  We had to record things for each of them daily.  Now that they are older I can tell them apart easier...and, have to laugh, as they are teenagers each likes his hair a certain way too.  They are real blessings!

They are adorable and must be quite a handful!!

I couldn't resist looking it up - this was a natural occurance!

In early pregnancy, a visit to the sonographer is nerve-wracking and exciting. For Grapevine resident Jenny Marr, it was those things and more. She’s still trying to wrap her mind around the surprise she got toward the end of her first trimester: Marr wasn’t carrying one baby, and she didn’t have twins. Not triplets either. She was pregnant with quadruplets—spontaneous (no fertility treatments), identical quadruplets.

The odds of that happening are estimated at somewhere between 1 in 11 million to 1 in 15 million births. Marr’s doctor came across just over 70 documented cases of spontaneous, identical quads in medical literature. Marr miraculously delivered all the boys safely on March 15, 2020—the day before the COVID-19 lockdown went into place. When the quads were a year old, we spoke to Marr as she reflected on her life of four times the love, laughter and diapers.

I am an identical twin and my sister & I had so much fun as only our Mom and Dad knew who was who. I was born with a small light brown birthmark on my right forehead,  which I hated so I have always worn bangs.  Now that I am older it has disappeared.   Teachers never knew who was who.  One time when my grandma was  babysitting us, my mom took some brown sugar and a bit of  water and put a birthmark on my sister.  My grandma had no idea who was who.

I cannot imagine needing 4 car seats and high chairs.

Can you just imagine have four little boy toddlers at the same age and at the same time?  Makes me tired just thinking about it.  I hope mom has help.

@Kachina624, can you just imagine feeding four teen boys three meals a day?

Question:  What does your mom do all day?

Answer:     She cooks.

Just think when they're a little older and one gets grounded, he can pay another of his brothers to do the time for him, lol.

@Judaline    I bet mom and dad can tell the difference instantly.
