Chances are that before you found out you were having twins
you only knew one or two other sets of multiples. So how do
you feel now that you've entered into the previously secret
world of multiplicity ? Are twins popping out of the woodwork
now you've got your own ? Do you notice them in high streets
and shopping centres when you swear you never saw that many
before ? Don't be alarmed if you do! In actual fact, twins
are absolutely everywhere. Readers of the site were asked

Shrek and Fiona in multiple
parenting shocker!
If you're anything like us you've been eagerly
awaiting the next installment of Shrek - the lovable ogre
from Swampville and his lovely bride, Princess Fiona.
Well you don't have to wait much longer, as
Shrek The Third hits cinema screens in June, and it promises
to be a fantastic romp with an even wider cast of fairytale
creatures than before.
What's the story ? : When Shrek married Princess Fiona, becoming
the next King and Queen of Far Far Away wasn't part of the
plan. So when his father-in-law, King Harold, falls ill, it
is up to Shrek to find a suitable heir, or he will be forced
to give up his beloved swamp for the throne. Recruiting Donkey
and Puss In Boots for a new quest, Shrek sets out to bring
back the rightful heir to the throne - Fiona's rebellious
cousin Artie. Multi-tasking had better be one of his finer
skills, as Fiona introduces the Shreklets and they become
members of the parenting multiples community!! Be sure and
offer them your full support should they venture onto our
forums!
Shrek The Third: is at cinemas everywhere from
June 29
