My DS and DD (4) fight ALL the time. They share NOTHING, always want what the other one has and physically fight as a result. They scream if the other one sits beside them and when they do get on, it always ends in them rolling about on the floor in fits of laughter and then ends in crying.
DD is ridiculously bossy and DS does not like it (obviously!). The summer hols have been really draining as this situation has escalated to the point where DS has bitten DD hard enough to draw blood on several occasions. The HV was here today and delightfully witnessed DS pull a clump of DD's hair out (about the 10th time he has done this as he likes to pull her around the room- charming eh!). Oh and before you ask, I DO NOT treat my kids like that and neither does DH.
DS had also been getting up at 5am- 5.30am for several weeks and I thought there was a connection between tiredness and the aggression but he is now sleeping til 6.30am (normal sadly) and is still a horror. DS is also throwing things everywhere, horrid to my very tolerant cats and putting everything he eats through his hair. Ha sodding ha!
DS was a lovely calm baby and has been a really easy going little guy until recently. We have not had any big life changes and DS is a big bruiser who is literally bruising everyone at the mo. Is this normal for boys? Any ideas about how I can get my kids to get on before they are very big people throwing each other around my house?
