how do you deal with the endless bickering/fighting/not listening..?

[flipflopson5thavenue]

without resorting to screaming JUSTSTOPITJUSTBLOODYSTOPIT!!!!

DS are 5yo and 2.9yo and I cannot get either of them to listen to me, or do anything I ask. And it's not that I have loads of rules - I just don't want them to beat the shit out of each other, hit/pinch (DS2's favourite MO at the moment), trash the house....

IS THAT A LOT TO ASK????

Maybe I just need them to go back to school/childcare for a bit....

I don't have the answer but I share your pain ! My two toddlers spend all day at logger heads recently,

I worry about what my neighbours must think, I seem to spend all day shouting "stop hitting your brother" "no pushing" "get down" etc

I'm hoping it's a phase ! Other than I separate for a while.

It is exhausting though

Oh and you should see the state the house gets !

I've just posted about not being listened to too! I probably should have read the rest of the posts first I guess! (Usually lurk on AIBU and chat - first time here!)
I wish I had some insight to share!
