[QUOTE="Hound dog, post: 20439, member: 84"] All kids who have siblings have sibling rivalry. The degree depends on the kids, and believe it or not, the parents reaction. Unless one of my kids might get hurt, I stayed out of it. Same as my Mom and grandma did before me. Mom raised 5 and grandma raised 7, both single parents and none of their kids killed or maimed each other. lol Actually there was very little rivalry. With mine if it got out of hand with a toy or activity, toy or activity was gone/finished for the day. If it became extreme, they had to go to seperate rooms til they could manage to be civil. If that didn't work, they had chores (very unpleasant) assigned that they had to do together. More fighting, more chores. They got the idea with consistancy. lol And I'm more stubborn than they are. [img]:wink:[/img] It's hard to believe at the ages they are now that they might ever be able to get along one day. But usually something happens once they're grown and those rivalries fade away. My kids are closer now too. But I learned early on that the more I reacted to their spats, the more spats they had and the worse they were. [/QUOTE]
