...my dd is getting so argumentative (I remember my parents complaining about me being the same)

me 'stop pushing ds'
dd (as pushing ds)'I'm not pushing him'
me 'well stop it whatever you're doing'
dd 'I am stopping'

and so it goes on, I really try not to get sucked into these arguments but since I'm argumentative too

With DS1, it's a short temper and downright stubborness!

being pedantic. DS can't let any little thing go and neither can I.

Both are know-it-all spellers. Not good.

DS1 can't go to sleep until he's finished a chapter.
DS2 gets stressy in car parks when I'm trying to reverse into a space.

Dd is as obsessed by reading as I was at that age...

none - ds is a carbon copy of dp (same temperament, same looks) who in turn is a carbon copy of his dad and so it goes back through the generations (can be quite creepy).

So all his annoying traits are dp's as well and I get them in stereo.

Tis good thing that I love 'em.

Finding farting uproariously funny.

all my kids bad traits come from their father!

DS1's the world's second greatest procrastinator. I am the greatest procrastinator. But it drives me INSANE when he fannies about in the morning and rushes out the door late every single day. I'm quite laid back and see it as a positive thing, but he takes it to another level. He's almost horizontal at times.

Their laziness.
I could quite happily lay in bed all day but I get so mad with dds at the weekend for slobbing about in pyjamas and 'just needing to chill'.
