I am looking after my brother (13) and sister (15) for the the next 5 weeks whilst my parents go trekking in the Andes for the 25th wedding anniversary. They've been here since Friday and they seem to swing wildly between being lovely and cute to each other to be being so nasty and hurtful.
On Saturday they fell out over a comment made on Facebook and it ended in a full fight until I realised and stopped it and they both had the look of hatred for each other on their faces. My brother has three nasty cuts on his neck where my sister dug her nails into him. I've also heard them call each other twat-face, slag, dickhead and prick etc.
On the other hand last night my sister helped him do his maths homework that he was struggling with and tonight my sister has had a netball game and he ran her bath and is in the living room rubbing her feet at the moment.
I'm quite a bit older than them so can't relate to them, do all teenagers behave in this way and have such variance in behaviour towards each other.
