[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I have two elementary school-age boys two years apart. The incessant bickering has been driving me and DH up the wall. We try to separate them, send them to different camps, give them chores, tell them to ride their bikes, but they always seem to come back together to play and then of course, resume bickering. They do it in public, too. It’s ridiculous. Any good solutions other than getting another house? 😂 do sisters the same age get into the same constant fighting, too? I don’t remember my sister snd I fighting like this all, the, time. [/quote]

In other news, water is wet.  Ask your parents if you argued. I'm sure you did.  [b]What they are doing is actually good for them. They are practicing getting along with others. [/b] So I would suggest ear plugs for you.  Step in if it gets violent, of course but, allow bickering and tell them that you know they will figure it out.  To help you can say if arguing over which video game to play on the switch. If you can't agree than no video games and we will find extra chores to do.

Then they will figure it out.  I promise![/quote]

Don't rationalize your parenting negligence. Siblings help with practicing getting along with others, but constant fighting is not getting along, it's NOT getting along. Not all humans get along with all other humans, whether born to the same parents or not. If you've applied Siblings without Rivalry and tried to teach them better interpersonal techniques, and it's still not working, then separate them. But don't ignore it and let them disrupt everyone's lives.[/quote]
