Hi guys this is my first thread and I've never used this platform before but at my witts end and I don't know anyone else with the same problem as I am having had with my 8-year old son and 7-year old daughter. Basically since the day day my second child (now 7-year old girl) was born her brother has never been nice to her....ever!!!!! This causes constant fighting bickering physical arguing day in day out. I have to sit one in the front of the car and one in the back otherwise they fight the entire journey! The same goes for at home they cannot be in the same room or even sit on the same sofa it is beyond unbearable now! This is having such an impact on daily life to the point I don't want to take them places because it is so stressful. All of my friends and family that have siblings say there's argue and fight of course but not constantly. I cannot even recall one time that my 8-year old has ever been nice to his sister even as a baby he is so jealous. I feel like I need to get some professional help I am so worn out and mentally drained I'm wondering if there is anyone else with the same problem and how the hell do you deal with it?? I dread waking up in the mornings now because all I hear is them two physically fighting and shouting etc it's making me so unhappy when usually nothing phases me and I am quite care free usually and not a strict mum. They don't listen to me when I separate them and tell them to stop even if I shout so. Nothing works at all :(
Thank you
