We have two early teens.Thay can be lovely and charming.- but not to each other!!!They blank each other and/or argue- not all the time but a lot!!! Feel on tenderhooks most of the time waiting for outbreaks!! eg we are all watching a family film and tension!!!!!
.I dont think that ive adjusted myself yet.I dont mind individaul grumps and moods- its when they come to me and say dd and done this and ds has done that...and ive not got a clue what has really happened.Also dd is very clever and can wind dd up to n th degree with just a look or a tone.If he gets seen to be being a wind up merechant- he says i cant help it its my hormones they make me angry...!
Any advice please in particular on what to do if they both come to me saying hes done this and shes done the other!!!!!!Ive tried to ask them to sort it themselves but inevitably the one respons with - why dont you stick up for me -or cries in dd case.Dd has started to slam doors in frustration if ds winds her up .Im not depressed when i say this, but im dreading commimg home sometimes, and i think that ive got to chill - but howIve given them clear boundaries since they were little - they know how to behave well - but not to each other. .Its hard when a child follows you round telling thier side of things ,is upset etc.I find that im starting to retreat to our bedroom and i dont want to do so.!!!!Help and advice appriciated...
