anybody with kids close in age???

[JVL1018]

My kids are 22 months apart and they fight ALOT!!!!! Of course they play nicely together alot too-it's all or nothing with them. Fighting or loving each other. LOL

My two are 4 years apart (DD5 & DS9) and they fight mostly ALL THE TIME!! And we are talking physical fighting here. In fact, I am in this room on the computer cooling off and escaping from the two of them at the moment. I know that if I leave them alone for a short bit I will go downstairs and find them in the same room actually getting along.

My oldest also has Aspergers and behavioral issues so his sister has seen that since day one and has copied some of his behavior.

We are getting to the end of summer vacation and while I am sad that it's ending, I think we ALL need to get back to some sort of routine. (And with DD starting Kindergarten Mom gets THREE FULL (and one half) days ALL TO MYSELF!!!!! (something I haven't had in almost 10 years!!!)

Good luck to us all!!

My boys (4 & 6) are 22 months apart, and I did that on purpose so they would be close. They fight a LOT. Lately though, it seems to be a little better, with them playing together nicely more than fighting. A new school year may help that or hurt it. It drives me crazy, too. And of course I join in the chaos with my yelling, "STOP FIGHTING!!!!"

Mine (DD's 8 and 10) are 24 months apart and right now I'm not speaking to either of them until they speak nicely to one another. I shoulda left them at school as it only took the five-minute car ride to start WW10!! Sigh...hopefully they'll calm down soon and I'll hear them playing. There's always hope!

My 2 are 2years and 3 weeks apart. During the school year they get along very well, but this summer has been a war since day one. I think they are just so ready to get back to school and hang out with their friends.
The 4 of us fought like crazy when we were younger (two older brothers and a younger sister) but now we all get along really well... so there is hope!
School starts in 13 days!

My kids are 7 3 and 1.5 and the 2 youngest ones are getting into little shouting matches quite often. Nothing new to me my sister and I who are 3 years apart to this day still fight like crazy. We have even had fist fights and have each broken the others nose she did mine with a chair and I did hers with a quick right hand jab. Hopefully they grow out of it but I don't think my sis and I ever will.

my kids are spaced way, way, way far apart. They are 21DS, 13DS, 8DD, and they fight all the time. The 21 and the 8 will argue over nothing. But they will also defend each other to the death if anyone hurts one of the others.

 

[MOMTOMOOTOO]

My oldest to my middle is 2 1/2 years then the middle to the baby is exactly 2 years (born on the same day) and the all fight like cats and dogs. The oldest one imparticular.

 

[4greatboys]

My 2 oldest are 2 yrs 9 months apart. Got along great as little kids then fought all the time for about 7 or 8 years and now they are 14 and 16 and get along much better.

My 2 little ones are 26 months apart and so far get along great. Then again they are only 4 and 2.

my mother, the only child, had 4 kids in 5 yrs. She still can't understand why the 2 boys constantly argue and so do the 2 girls. Funny, the boys are fine with the girls alone but put the 2 same sex together alone and it's all over. Don't think we'll be out-growing it anytime soon, the baby is 38 now!
My son is 5 yrs, 3 months, and 10 days older then his sisters. Yes, he counted! He still hasn't forgiven me for giving him not one, but 2 sisters and has banned me from bringing home any more babies since I won't guarantee him a brother! He can play with one sister but not the other, they butt heads constantly. He also can't stand to see the 2 girls getting along, he feels duty bound to disrupt them. The girls, who are less then 30 seconds apart, are either best friends, or they hate each other. They've been seperated for preschool, due to different needs and forcing one to be less dependent on the other. This yr they'll be together for the first time since there's only one class that can accomadate their learning needs ( they're preemies and slightly delayed). I'm not looking forward to the tattling and fighting about who did what in school this yr!

My boys are 11 months, 10 days apart. Their birthdays are January 18th and December 28th, 1990.

 

[Kitty 34]

My youngest two are 22 months apart. I planned it that way as my older son was 6 and 8 years apart from them.

 

[Nancy]

My girls are 11, 14 and 16....the 2 oldest are 18 months apart. I wouldn't say they fight...but they do get very snotty with each other. I can't stand the attitudes that come out of all 3 of them...and then we have the gang up days. Usually oldest and youngest ganging up on the middle. (that's because she is such an easy target!)

 

[princessariel]

My first two are 10 1/2 months apart. They did their share of fighting when they were younger.......

They're all grown up now. They get along just fine. So hang in there. Before you know it, they grow up and don't need you to referee anymore.

 

[dizneenut]

Mine are close, too: 14, 12, 10, and 8 and they fight all the time.

 

[mrsgus06]

This year mine will be 3, 6, 7, 8, 9 and 18 and yes, everyday there is a fight between at least 2 if not 3.

 

[WebmasterMaryJo]

<font color=navy>Mine are 14 mos apart at 16 and 15, and I've been pretty lucky in that they rarely fight. (I never did tolerate it when they were younger, and they actually listened to me )They're more likely to be walking ahead of me and talking and laughing together. They've always got along, even though they are so different.

 

[Nutsy]

My boys are 13 months & 3 weeks apart & are almost always at loggerheads with each other


They are 15 & 16

 

[momof3disneyholics]

Mine are 1 minute apart, and the other one is 3 years older than them. Yes, they fight all the time too, but they cover up for each other too.

 

[Pooh93]

Mine are also 28 mos apart and although they have their disagreements, I'm pretty lucky because 90% of the time, they play very well together. Usually when one of them gets tired is when they are short tempered with each other. I just hope they get along this well as they grow up.
