I'm not exaggerating. It's constant from the moment they open their eyes in the morning. We have been up ten minutes and there's already been a big bust up and both are now segregated in their rooms. It's got to the point where I am getting headaches over it and my stress levels go through the roof as soon as I hear the first whine. They fall out over anything and everything. It seems that dd's mission in life is to wind her brother up, she can't leave him alone, I tell him to ignore her, he reacts anyway. Then when she does try to be nice the responds to her aggressively, verbally not physically thankfully, though the odd slap does get dished out from both sides, which I come down on on like a ton of bricks.
I can't begin to describe how bad it is and how stressful. Any advice or similar experiences most welcome. I know it's normal but help ME to deal with it please. It's a lovely day here and I woke up well rested but now have the early stages of a migraine. That's how stressful it is.
