[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Have you read “Siblings Without Rivalry”? It’s the classic for dealing with this behavior. [/quote] DP here. I read it several times and it didn't help us at all. Not sure why everyone on this board suggests it - maybe they just like the sound of the title? Anyway, OP. I was in a similar boat (my girls are 3 years apart) and sadly I think the only thing that really helped was time and them both maturing some. They are now 14 and 11 and its been much better for a year or two. My two sound very similar in temperment to yours. I know you hate policing, but meanness was a trigger for me. They could not be mean. You can be annoyed/frustrated but you can't be hurtful. Decide what things you will police and what things you will let go. DO NOT completely give up on them, but also don't yell at them constantly. Yes it sucks, but this too shall (hopefully) pass. [/quote]
