aaargh - the bickering......

[SamsGoldilocks]

I think it is unlikely to ever end but how do you get your children to play nicely with one another. Mine can manage about 5 minutes if that before one is pushed, poked, prodded, abused. They clearly don't like being in one another's company and I for one can't wait until term starts and they are physically put of.my space and away.from.one another.

The worst offenders are dd aged 7 and ds 4.

At the end of my tether.

um no idea. my two (5 and 2) are the same and its driving me mad. sometimes they play really nicely together but then other times the squabbling is unbelievable . i asked my friend who has a 10 and 7 year old and she said she had no idea hers have never squabbled. ever.

maybe someone will come along with some tips! only a few more days til school starts

Hi all, this one's toughy. I will say it DOES GET EASIER but for me the road has been rocky. Mine are 13 and 10 now (boy and girl). It swings from WW3 to lovey dovey in the blink of an eye and drives me insane. Only today I shut myself in the kitchen muttering ' can't wait for f**king school back on Monday' after they had had the umpteeth argument about the same blazing thing!!!!!!!!!!
