Do your children....

fight lots and always get on each others wick???  For the last few months, the twins (Aged 8, boys) have been driving me totally batty, as well as DH.  All they do is fight, fight and fight.

I have really enjoy this past week, as Saturday, Sunday, Monday and Tuesday they stayed at their mothers place, then Christian decided he wanted to come home, so he stayed here on Wednesday, Thursday and some of Friday.  Ethan then decided they wanted to change over.  Ethan stayed at my parents on Friday night.  Ethan came home Saturday night, and Christian stayed at his mothers, then they are now both home.  Home 5 minutes and boommmmmmm off they go.

What can I do?  DH and I spend one on one time, time together with them, time with Harlan and the twins, I am LOST!!!!

I sympathise with you I really do. Micheal and Jayden are like that and there's five years between them. We now mostly ignore them (Unless it's really out of control and someone is getting hurt). We figure they need to learn to sort it out themselves, otherwise we spend all day telling them off.

I swear when you have children they should give you a whistle so you can referee properly.


Sorry I can't be much help other than saying my brothers, sisters and I used to fight all the time and they will mostly gorw out of it hopefully!

Hang in there!!

maybe they need some rules and guidelines on what is acceptable and not with regards to fighting and horseplay.

JD - Come to ChCh and help me!!! LOL - What a good idea.  I will see if that works.  I am going into work for our annual meeting tomorrow so mum has them all day - hehehe.  Hope they will be ok.  I am sure they will as she is a social worker and knows how to control them...
