How do you stop the sibling rivalry?
I want to know that magic trick, haha yea right! My girls look out for one another when they aren't together. Like getting a sucker for her sister, or stickers or always saying something about the sister. But the minute they see each other its like pulling teeth to get them to be happy to see one another. They start argueing the second they see each other and it continues until bedtime. UGH!!! I want to scream and say, DO YOU JUST HATE EACH OTHER?!?!?!? Of course, that isn't reasonable to say. So I just go about my business and sometimes I ignore it and let them work it out, and sometimes it gets to a point where I have to intervene.
As you know, my oldest has severe ADHD, and is very hyper, extremely inplusive, so she doesn't help the situation.
My youngest difficult child, doesn't have a diagnosis, but she is a typical ODD, with some attention issues.
I would love to know what would be best to do when I come across a big fuss. What do some of you do? I am consistent and firm so they what is not acceptable behavior around our house. It doesn't matter what time of the day it is, they are fussing.
:nonono: :devil: :grrr: :hammer:
