[quote=Anonymous]My kids never liked each either growing up (boy and girl now in HS, 18 month apart in age).  I never got it, my brother and I argued and sometimes fought, but we got along most of the time).  M were like little wild animals with each other, kicking, biting, pushing. DH an I are pretty strict and there were always consequences, but it took YEARS to stop the physical attacks on each other. According to MIL DH and his sister were the same.  He broke her arm once and she broke his nose (my kids never got to that level) She said their experienced nannies were flabbergasted by their behaviour and also took years to curve.  I guess it must be genetic.  My kids were always  so lovely separately, with us and with their friends.  But it was like being with each other morphed then into completely different aggressive people.  It started to get better in middle school and now, in HS, they commiserate all the time an crack each other up with similar sarcastic dark humor.  They also stick up for each other. Once in a while they may still have a physical altercation but it is very controlled pushing/pretend kicking (we have repercussion for that also). On the hopeful side DH and his sister are super close now.  [/quote]
