[quote=Anonymous]4 and 5 year old boys (also have a 1yo but he's not old enough to be in the mix yet).  I have so much fun hanging out with each of them alone and want to give them all away when they're together (which is most of the time I'm with them).  I've gotten the physical violence largely under control and now its just them relentlessly annoying each other and the big loud reactions resulting from that

The day starts with the 4yo making loud noises that he knows drives 5 yo crazy and then the 5yo having an even louder whiny melt down about it.  The 5yo will sit obnoxiously close to the 4yo on the couch. the 4yo will call 5yo silly nicknames that drive 5yo crazy. 5yo will put his foot on 4yos dinner chair. 4yo hide a piece of 5yos puzzle. and on and on and on and on from the moment we wake up until they go to bed.  And then I react to it b/c of the noise and whining and yelling and get a sharp edge in my voice and an exasperated mood and that feeds into the cycle.  They are a bit better out of the house but we can't always be out and even then its still going on in the car etc.  I hate starting every morning with yelling and crying at breakfast.

Any ideas?  I've tried some of the things in Siblings without Rivalry but none of them seem to have made a dent in this relentless drive to annoy each other.  [/quote]
