Im 11 and my 10 year old brother and i argue ALL the time like this. I like to get attention from my mom and i think thats why i fight with my brother...just to get attenion. M<y mom has to keep us away from each other and doing different things  |

Yea I sometimes think it is for attention but I punish them both when they argue like that and they both get lots of attention so I dont know why they would want negative attention when they get loads of positive. THX DreamerJoys(not sure what your name is) |

I forget often and I think it's because the kids made me use up so many brain cells by being stressed. Sweetie, it's normal for them to have disagreements and to pester each other. My two grandkids live here now, age 2 and 4. They fight and torment each other horribly! I did do alot of screaming and threatening to separate them forever and never let them even talk to each other again. That threat always worked for a few hours. LOL! Hang in there Hon, it does get easier. |

Oh and their favorite line is: "you always take so and so's part. You like them better than me!" As long as you hear that complaint from both kids, you are doing a fine job at raising them. |

 LOL Frisky is my name I use to think of my brother as my baby doll and he was SOooooooooo cute! Then as we got older he got annoying and would copy me and touch my things in my room till I told him to stay out of my room. Then he would get mad at me for that and tattle tale on me for anything and then I would tattle tale on him. Thats why i think we fight..but once in a while we get along. My mom tells me we need to get along so in high school we can stick up for each other. |

I have 3 devils..*coughs* I meen kids! 2 boys 5&10 years,and a girl 7 years. They FIGHT all the time. They are loving and protecting eachother one second..and the next there on the floor choking the breath outta eachother! I have talked to them, yelled at them, spanked them, threatend them, bribed them.... and still they fight. So I just figure..*what the heck* if they kill eachother I'll have one less mouth to feed! JUST KIDDING! lol..I don't know.. it would be nice to see if someone had an answer that worked.It Does sound like you need to get a babysitter and go have some fun outside the house. It helps me when I start to feel that way. *hugz*  |

LOL thank you I sometimes wonder what is wrong with them when I was growing up I hated my brother but he was very cruel to me however my sister who was 15 months older then me was my best friend. We did everything together. I see other kids who get along together so well who seem to never argue with their siblings and then my kids are all three at each other all the time. I just wosh there was some way to get tehm from this stage where the other one is the worst person in the world in their eyes to where they are good friends and can stand to be in the room with one another. Well now they are eating and at opposite ends of the room so all is peaceful...FINALLY!!!!!:-D |

Hmm, you guys are tempting me to have another baby. Sounds like fun!  I have two older brothers and we all had our fights. My one brother HATED me for years growing up. Now that we're all grown up we love each other. I dont think thats what you want to hear though, huh? |

Well anyhow thanks I was hoping that maybe there was soemthing someone else had done that worked...I guess maybe I should just be glad that they are healthy and good most of the time and try to overlook those times when they are annoying each other...I do try to be but it is hard when they are arguing. When they are grown and gone I will miss those moments just as much as the good times I am sure...Well anyhow it was good to be able tot alk about it and laugh a little and realize it is not just me who has this problem. Sometimes I think that my kids must be the only ones who act this way though...guess they aren't |

Jessice, this is what Gary and I are doing with Matt and Alicia.... Once a week for ten minutes... (they do not go over the ten minutes and they do not go under the ten minutes)... One week... one will bring the notebook (minutes of the meeting are kept in) and the food (snacks - whatever that child wants that week - the next week... the other child can choose what s/he wants for a snack and bring the notebook). The reason you bring a snack is because food makes it 'worth while' to have a meeting or just sit and talk. They HAVE to talk about the things they don't like about the other person and talk about things they can do together without fussing. It works!! Scientific studies have shown this and if my two were part of that study... they would prove it works too. You see... it's human nature for us to get tired of hearing the same ole' crap day in and day out... so we tend to fix the problem JUST so we dont have to hear it anymore. I see bunches of changes in Matt and Alicia and if you'll remember... the reason Matt was in the hospital the last time is because he was actually going to kill Alicia and then kill himself (for those of you that can't believe what I am writing.... go read my posts about it!) If you want more info on this topic... PM me. Much Love and Hugs to you my dear sis!!! Laura  |

Well when I would argue with my little sister my dad would force us to run around the yard. He would say, "If you two have enough energy to fight then you have enough energy to run." Then again making them clean the house till they're done argueing works too.  |
