There is a point at which I can just stop dealing with sibling squabbles, isn't there?

[Hassled]

Especially given that DS1 and DD are bloody 23 and 21. So for 20 years I have been dealing with insane petty arguments and for years my solution was to just walk out of the room. But that was on the basis that it would stop eventually and IT NEVER WILL.

DS1 has finished Uni and is home looking for a job in London, but that's not happening quickly enough. DD lives at home and is volatile at the best of times, plus has just given up smoking.

They both seem to think I should be sorting their insane arguments out - please tell me I don't have to. I am going mad.

Up their rent everytime they fight

Move to a smaller house in, say, Paris.

Ok... start asking for rent...then up it!

Can't charge rent - we're not badly off and they both are (unemployed/student). But the (much) younger DSs suffer from the bickering, although on their own they're both great with them. Do some siblings just never get on, do you think?

Oh god I hope thats not the case! My two are still young but fight constantly, I have been telling myself that they will grow out of it.

God they are lucky
no rent?! Do you still do all the washing and cooking? And one of them could afford to smoke and nit pay rent
easy ride!!!

Yes, yes they are lucky. When I was their age I was living in a poxy flat with two DCs (them), and had been motherless for years. I don't have any sense of what's normal - and many of their friends seem to be in similar circumstances to them, tbh.

Lol
mine are only little so I'm probably naive in thinking they'll be out on their ear the second they turn 18
