Today, I came home to my wife crying. She had mixed up our newborn twin girls and couldn't tell which was which. I looked at the girls. Neither could I. FML
Collection
Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, I got home after working 14 hours completely exhausted and found my wife asleep, after not sleeping for at least 4 nights with our newborn. She woke up and couldn’t remember where she'd left the baby. After a mad panic, she remembered that he's with her mother. We are not coping very well. FML
Today, I drove to the hospital to see my newborn. I went to the room, picked him out of the crate and held him. Then I heard the toilet flush and saw a woman who I didn't know come out. She screamed. My wife was in the room next door. FML
Today, I went to the hospital in labor expecting a baby boy. I ended the day with identical twins, a baffled doctor, and a husband convinced that our sons can clone themselves. FML
Today, I saw my girlfriend at the store and joyfully greeted her. She got really mad at me - it was her identical twin sister, who I still cannot tell apart from my girlfriend. We've been dating for three years. FML
Today, I found out wife has two baby daddies for our two kids. I’m neither one’s baby daddy. FML
Today, after I had a miscarriage in December, and finding out in June that I was 13 weeks pregnant with twins, I was told out that Baby B had consumed Baby A. FML
Today, I had to dig up my twin boys birth certificates for baseball registration. Turns out I had been calling both of them by the other twin's name for eight and a half years. FML
Today, my pregnant wife and I got separated while out shopping. She ended up having meltdown and crying so hard the manager had to call me over the PA. FML
Today, I was told by my wife that we were going to be parents. We are both females. FML
Today, I picked up my daughter from daycare. As we were getting into the car, I strapped her into the car seat, but something felt off. I looked back and realized I had picked up the wrong kid. In my defense, she was wearing the same jacket as my daughter. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

I'm not a parent, so all this is guesswork: It really isn't a big deal. There is a huge expectation on parents to just suddenly be amazing and perfect as soon as their baby arrives. They are identical twins, you've only seen them a few times. Of course you won't know how to know the differences yet! However, if you are good parents, there are simple things you can do to fix the problem. Just put different coloured wrist bands on each one until you can tell the difference or something along those lines. I'm sure you're going to go through way crazier things bringing up twins, so don't stress about it. Congratulations and good luck :)

Agreed. Also, like any siblings, twins will have different personalities and will start to act so pretty quickly. Just sit it out and wait. Lovely FML moment though.

check their finger prints. I'm a twin and my twin and I can be told apart by our finger or foot prints.

Those of you that are criticizing the parenting skills of the OP and his wife have obviously never had newborns in the house...with one baby, you barely get any sleep. and the sleep you do get is either really light because your subconscious is afraid you won't hear the baby cry, or it's just not enough sleep, PERIOD. It'll make you mentally, physically, and just all around exhausted. Now take into consideration it's TWINS...and they could be on different sleep/eat patterns. The poor mom was probably SUPER freaking tired, and once OP Dad was put on blast to differentiate, he was probably nervous that he'd get it wrong so he couldn't make up his mind. Give them a break! The way I see it, this has almost nothing to do with /parenting skills/.
