Being a mother of twins, as well as mother of two singletons you do learn a different parenting skill set with twins, and I can understand her belief that she be able to cope with the class and her twins.
The lady running the class is entitled to set the rules she wishes, and so it is probably an over reaction, but I can understand the writer of the article reacting to a sore spot. With twins you're a family of freaks, public property when ever you go out, giving people leave to ask questions about your sex life, (so did you conceive them naturally?) and tell you that if they were in your position they would have killed themselves. After a while it all wears thin, and it hurts when there's yet another activity you are excluded from because you had twins.
So yes, an over-reaction but I can understand why she got her buttons pushed.
