Finnaryn- I’m pretty sure that the term “Irish twins” isn’t meant to hurt anyone’s feelings (whereas some other slang terms are basically meant to be hurtful, such as racial and ethnic slurs).

Anyway, your defination of “Irish twins” is basically correct. To be more specific, “Irish twins” usually refers to babies born within the same year (i.e., those 12 months or less apart).

I wanted to add that I don’t think that momof3 was trying to be mean at all. I know it is a common phrase but I just wanted to let people know that those of us who are, often feel stigmatized when we hear it. Think of other slang words you have heard while growing up. They seem like nothing until you know someone and realize that it hurts their feelings.

Millie, the term is used when siblings are very close in age. I think it is generally for those who are less than 18 months apart. I have two sisters and one was born 5 days before my first birthday. The fact that we are also part Irish makes it worse.

Please don’t use the term “Irish Twins.” I have always hated that term. It is offensive to those of us who are close in age to our siblings. Not to mention those of Irish decent.

they look so happy! I am glad Britney is doing so well, and she & Kevin are doing what’s best for the kids. They should be proud of the maturity they are showing.
