Can someone tell me where it is written

[AdventurerKat]

that almost three year old and an six year old siblings will find something to fight about from sun up to sun down, just about every single day? I missed that page in the "so you want to have another child?" handbook.

Thank you. I feel better now.

LOL....don't think they'll grow out of it! My oldest is 22 and when he came home he still bickered with my 18 year old!

Mine right now are 22, 18, 15 and 13. Seems all I ever say these days is "OK, that's enough now!" LOL

The sky is blue, no it's light blue. The grass is green, no it's dark green.

LOL oh well, I suppose if they didn't bicker with each other I'd be worried because it would mean they are not interacting with each other!

I think its in the Ten Comandments

I've got that going on right now with a 15 year old and a 9 year old so frustrating!

They left that page out of my handbook too
My girls are 10 and 12 and seem to never stop

I remember reading that when my brother and I were kids I can't find the book now, but I'm sure my DD and DS have read it and stashed it. My dad was an only child and could never understand how we could fight so much -- we drove him crazy.

DH and I are both only children. The constant fighting is unreal! Ours are almost 6, almost 4 and 1. So far at 1 DS doesn't fight much, but boy does he let them know when he is mad at them!

My sons are 5 and 7 and have been arguing all the time!! The crazy part is that they still want to be together. Whenever I try to separate them they beg to be able to play together again. And then they almost immediately start arguing again.

I try to ignore them and just . But sometimes it drives me crazy. Where is the smilie that is pulling out her hair?

Dad... She's looking at me again!

My sister and I fought like animals, including fist fights. So now we're both middle-aged (I'm 51 and she's 48) and we're too old to keep fighting and we're very close.

Unfortunately, Dad is gone and Mom is 87 and daffy and is too old to enjoy it.

It's not in there, but it's in the Big Book of Obvious right after the chapter on fish needing to swim.

I found it inside my box of Cracker Jacks.

My brother still does that and he's 20! At the dinner table we sit across from each other. If I look up for a second he shouts "What are you looking at!" I guess siblings never grow out of it.

That's love!

Is that like the Great Big Book of Everything from Stanley?

I tried to tell my DH it wasn't going to stop as they got older..its just going to get worse.

 

[Sandcass]

Believe it or not, my DD11 & DS8 almost NEVER FIGHT. In their whole life, thru every age so far, they have been best friends.

It's almost freaky! I can't explain it either, I don't know what I did. I think it's just their personalities. My the 11 yr old is so easy going. And she just always knew how to handle her little brother. When they do fight it seems like it's for a legitimate disagreement, and they just work it out themselves. We never have the "She's touching me! He's breathing!" kind of stupid fights.

Sorry, I can't join this club!

Of course, we will be entering the teen years soon....... we'll see what happens then!

You people are scaring me. Number 2 is coming on Tuesday and all I keep hearing is how hard it is to go from one child to two. This one is a girl also so I can imagine the fights that are to come in the future.

I'm not a mom, but I do watch (including weekends w/o mom & dad there) my 2 nieces (ages 3 & 7) alot. Of course, I knew they were on their best behavior for me, but I just didn't believe they had those kinds of arguements. Well, they spent alot of time with my this past May. So by the end of the month, they were no longer the sweet girls but two girls ready to fight each other & me over anything! When I told my sister about that, she just smiled and said "welcome to my world!" I had to laugh.

These were the words of wisdom given to me by one of my best friends before I gave birth to my second son. (She already had two kids.)

1. "You're not really a parent until you have the second child."
2. "The second kid should come with its own crash helmet!"

This thread is hilarious--and helpful. I often think it's just my two kids who are at each other's throats from sunrise to sunset. It's SO reassuring to know that this goes on in everyone else's house too! BTW, my boys are 15 and 12 and it just seems to get worse and worse every day. (My condolences to the OP )
