[QUOTE="Hound dog, post: 62124, member: 84"] My 3 are very close in age. As young kids our home could become a battle zone with the blink of an eye. For years it just seemed to esculate. There were times I felt more like a referee than a parent. Travis had major problems with personal boundries. He didn't/still doesn't get them. On a constant basis he was in his sisters personal space driving them crazy, or taking things he never thought to ask for. It started alot of the fighting. And no amount of punishment stopped Travis from doing it. He wasn't doing it to be mean. He wasn't even aware of doing it in the first place. [img]:slap:[/img] Alot of their scuffles I let them hash out on their own. (I discovered eventually that letting them bring me into it was only making it much worse). I ONLY stepped in when the situation would get way out of control. Now that they're grown the sib rivalry is gone. Even Nichole and Travis manage to get along, which is nothing short of a miracle if you'd seen them during the teen years. *shudder* They even hang out together. lol Sounds like you have sib rivalry with gfgdom bumping it up a few notches. Not fun. But it does get better as they age. Although I know it sure doesn't seem like it from where you're standing right now. Hugs [/QUOTE]
