I don't know what to do anymore. I have 3 boys (5,8 and 10) and they're constantly fighting. There was a fair bit of fighting and bickering over the holidays but it's got worse since they went back to school. Hubby has gone away for a week and I'm an emotional wreck and so stressed, I can't stop crying right now.
I also get so angry when one hits or hurts the other. I do punish them -i.e. taking ipad priviledges away etc. They don't seem to care much that their mum is so upset over all of it (I guess that's pretty normal for kids) although with my reaction today - really upset and crying , the 5 year old said sorry and the 10 year old has been quiet since. There's not even 3 of them here right now as the 8 year old is at a party! I get no respite from the fighting even when one isn't here!
I know siblings don't always get on but how do I get them to get on better?? I can't face another 10 plus years of this!! They do sometimes play well together but those times seem few and far between right now!!
