...is driving me up the wall!
They are clever, adorable boys, impeccably behaved at school, and thick as thieves (have their own bedrooms but give each other zero personal space), but lately the only way they seem to play together at home is in a very physical, rough and tumble where they just grab and shriek at each other, run up and down stairs, etc. It's mostly good natured (lots of giggling from both) but SO LOUD and someone inevitably gets hurt!
It's worst after school - they have activities some days (karate, Cubs, drama) which channels some of it but not all. In summer I kick them out into the garden to bounce it off on the trampoline but obviously that's not possible in winter.
Today I properly lost my rag at them after yet another brother-inflicted injury and they have calmed down but experience tells me it's only temporary!
Is there anything I can do to make the house calmer, as repeatedly telling them off seems to make no long-term difference? Should I just move all the breakables and leave them to it while I hide in the kitchen? Will they ever grow out of it??
