Pre teens driving me crazy!!! HELP!!!!

[gem31566]

I have a 12 year old and a 10 year old and all they do is fight and argue! My 12 year old constantly picks at my 10year old making them upset, when I have a word with the 12 year old I get told I'm picking on them! I can't win at the moment! Even if the 12 year olds home work is not finished it's my fault! Everything is my fault at the moment and I'm fed up of it!
Any advice ladies????

That's life sometimes I'm afraid.

I have 2 - 15 and 16 now - and can reassure you it gets better.

The 12 year old in my experience will be hormonal, will be going on and on about you favouring the 10 year old, will tell you that EVERYTHING is your fault, will blame the 10 year old if anything goes missing, will be "soooooooooo tired" all the time because despite spending 3 minutes doing homework and 5 min putting stuff in the dishwasher they have spent SOOOOOOOOOO LONG doing stuff and now need some "time out for themselves"

Develop a thick skin and a raised eyebrow... it will pass.

Thank you, I'm glad it will pass, shame it won't be for a few years 😂
