The terrible twos have done Jerry O'Connell in.
The actor -- whose twin girls with wife of nearly four years Rebecca Romijn, 38, celebrated their second birthday December 28 -- says he doesn't want any more kids.
"My factory is not closed," The Defenders star, 36, told UsMagazine.com at Wednesday's People's Choice Awards, "but it’s finished!"

O'Connell admits raising Dolly and Charlie has been a bit of a struggle, especially when one of the twins -- whom he dubs "the bad one" -- throws a tantrum in a public place.
"When she wants something and I don’t give it to her, she lies down on the ground and does some weird protest," he told Us. "It’s like a hippie protest. It’s like a sit in."

Another issue for the dad? Grooming!
"I can’t comb their hair," he said. "It’s a big protest. I don’t have sisters. I have never dealt with women. I am not a hairstylist. I have never dealt with these issues. I have to hold them down. They just hate it."
Continued the star, "Are they tomboys, I don’t know? They just don’t like getting their hair brushed. I can’t do it in public because people would think I am abusing my children.”
O'Connell hinted that he had more trouble ahead of him for his girls, who just started school.

"My wife went to pick them up and she couldn’t help but peek through the window," he told Us. "She said one was doing very well and one wasn’t listening. Honestly if there was a pre-military school, I would send her immediately!"
Tell Us What You Think
11i dont think if you dont read the bible to help you train your kids then you are not readed for the chalenging that you are going to face raising kids
good for them ..7 billion miracles are enough.
He sounds defeated and they are only two. Just wait until middle school, he's going to need lots of Valium. This doesn't bode well for the relationship with Rebecca. Those two need to get some parenting advice before this gets worse.
I saw this entire interview - it was done at the People's Choice Awards with PopSugar, and allll he did was complain. I could not believe my eyes...he said really nothing nice about his kids, all he did was point out what he had to go through. This man is an affair waiting to happen - it's obvious he feels like he's been dealt a bad hand with his twins - do he needs to brush their hair, etc...so freaking what! I just wanted to slap him...what a huge manchild! Fix yourself J.O'C, and be an admirable father and husband!!
Those two girls sound like handfuls! Every interview I've read of his he's talking about how difficult they are to handle. Hopefully it will get easier as they get a little older.
ARE THESE TWO THE DUMB OR WHAT?
Hilarious.. Wait till there 16.. lol
LOL.. my twin girls are/were the exact same at that age.. But it does get easier as they get older
Those two are dumb so I would think things that are taxing for us must be exhausting for them.
Jerry O'Connell kills me! I can just picture him sitting there, trying to style his kids hair. Those kids are too cute!!
I love this magazine.It has so much cool info!!
