Does anyone else have kids that....

[allie&mattsmom]

fight with one another like it's their born duty? OMG, I'm going nuts here. I thought once school started it would get better but nope, they just keep at it. And the last few nights have been horrible and of course DH is either at golf outings or meetings! GRRRR!!! My kids are two years apart (boy & girl), just wondering if it will ever get better? I think I'll go pour myself a nice stiff drink while I ponder that question.

 

[MOMTOMOOTOO]

Your post could have been written by me...right down to the golf and meetings The only difference is I have three of them, all 2 years apart and they have been fighting like animals I tell ya I have really just started to ignore them, they seem to fight more when I get involved, so I let them have at it. But of course, everyone else thinks they are total angels and I am exagerating. I'll go pour my ownself a cocktail and commiserate with you while the boys are out!

 

[rhanditresmom]

Yup! Everyday...they think it is their job! I just sigh and have a glass of wine! I keep threatening to give them pointy sticks for Christmas...maybe even a whip or 2!

OMG..I can feel your pain. My DD12 and DD8 fight every single day. And it's usually over nothing. It drives me nuts! That drink sounds good


Maybe I'll make one for myself....or two

Maybe chocolate would help...

YES! I didn't know that I had posted this. I have been thinking it all day long. The hurricane has cancelled school for a couple days so they have been home since 11:30 yesterday. AGH!!!! I am about to go nuts! We are all sleeping downstairs on air matresses since DS was freaking out about the wind & the trees. Of course DD is keeping DS awake. DD is 5 & DS is 6 1/2.

DD is an only child, and DH and I joke that the reason we only have one is so we don't have to deal with the fighting all day long. We always tell people who ask why we don't have more kids-When you've got only one, you have them all happy at once.

My oldest 2 are Yin and Yang. Mine all are 2 years and a few months apart. It is better if they are busy. I am not anxious for the youngest to get older and see how she fits in the mix.

 

[SherryNC]

Yes, and what really upsets me is that they are 9 years apart. I was eleven years older than my brother and in many ways he was like my first born. I was extremely loving and patient with him. He was always welcome to hang out in my room and I even took him on many dates with my now dh. My daughter on the other hand seems to go out of her way to rile up her little brother. What is wrong with a 16 year old that LOVES to annoy the heck out of her 7 year old brother??

Do they MAKE any other kind of kids??

I have 4 and they range from 10 to 20. They STILL fight. Well, not exactly fight, but do things to annoy the heck out of each other, and then get really loud about it, and touch each other, and...

Probably my fault since they never had a nanny but had to go to daycare....

 

[TKERBELL]

I have 4 kids now (I got custody of my cousin Elizabeth in August), 14, 11, 9 and 4 and mostly they get along - but they love to get the 4 year old all riled up and have him bounce off the walls - kind of like their personal yo-yo - drives me insane - Now when they do argue - I could swear that my house will implode!!!!

I have a 9 year old dd, and two boys ages 2 and 3. They fight from sunup to downdown. They'd fight over a piece of dog poop if they could. It's frustrating, and by the end of the day I'm so wore out. I hope it gets better!

 

[allie&mattsmom]

Hey guys, thanks, I'm glad I'm not alone. The last couple of nights it's been worse than usual. An example of how my night was last night was...My two angel children (ha ) are out playing in the yard when the door flies open to DS wailing "Mom, Allie hit me with the tennis racket!", blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, ya'll get the drift. And it just went downhill from there. Tonight's drama, well, I don't even have the energy to go there. But seriously, you guys made me feel better And hey, this drink/s isn't hurtin' either !

I only have 1 kid (a 4 year old dd), but her and my niece (who's 3) were practically raised as sisters and they fight constantly. I have a brother who's almost 3 years younger than I am and I'm sorry to tell you that we didn't get along until I moved out when I was 19.

You would think Remy at age 7 and Holly at 22m wouldn't have much to fight about..but some of the things they come up with amaze me. The worst fights for them usually happen in the car, but this evening it was over a pocket sized calculator that Holly was playing with. Remy must have been breathing too much of Holly's air because for no other apparent reason Holly used said calculator to beat on Remy's head. Of course Remy started screaming at her and took the calculator which resulted in DH having to slowly pry Holly's fingers from Remy's hair...

Try it with 4 girls Why, why, why do they have to breath too much of their sister's air (insert any age of any sister here?

 

[Nancy]

My girls don't fight too much...I know I'm lucky! BUT my DH and my oldest DD argue all the time. And it is always the same argument. AND they are both wrong! They both want to have the last word, so just when you think it's over, one of them makes a stupid comment and it starts again! I actually left the house tonight because I knew one was on the verge of starting and I just don't want to listen to it anymore.

 

[always quiet]

With 3 kids (DS 15, DD 14, DD 11) there can be up to 4 different fights going on................ALL AT THE SAME TIME!! The worst fights happen between the girls....those 2 can drive me nuts!!
