LOL..I posted a similar statement this afternoon. My kids are 10 and 11 and fight over EVERYTHING from who sits in the front seat of the car to what one wore to school! They even fought while we were putting up the Christmas tree over who got to put in the branches!!!

Yeah, my 2 daughters are always picking on each other. Few times we had some fists flying and hair pulling. They're extreme opposites, one's lazy, quiet, and clumsy the other is outgoing, energetic, popular. Sometimes they'll get along ok, then one will piss off the other and that's that. Me and little brother were the same way too. Are yours fighting because they're opposite? Or are they just like each other lol? One thing you could try, after they get into a fight, make them hug/kiss each other on the cheek. They'll hate that. It may work, especially with them being young still. That could be the problem as well, maybe the younger one wants to play with big sis, and he's still kind of a toddler, they don't have much in common yet. Good luck, and yes it's common you're not alone lol.

Hello, My name is TrinaLynn, I have 2 children ,daughter 10 and son 8 ,they fight constenly also, .They even go after each other,and start things and blame each other for it. The were not always like this though.He was "Her" baby until he was 4 or 5 then it all broke loose. I have tried everything. I have been told to let it go until someone is going to get hurt enough to go to the hospital ,then stop it. But when you live in small qurters and noses neighbors that like to complain and your head starts hurting really bad, you can not just let it go. I try keeping them apart but they always wind up together. I even try to get them involved with seperate things , but that only lasts for so long. So I just keep Praying. I also keep telling myself that no one ever said it was going to be easy. I just wish it was a little eaiser then it is. LOL Well I will pray for you when i pray for myself. Talk to you soon. Blessings
