I know it sounds pretty much 'par for the course' in family life, but it is just really getting to me.
DS1 is on Yr2 (age 7) and DS2 just started school (4.2).
They used to get on well at home, but I think the school thing has tipped the balance. DS2 is pretty young and immature, and is constantly 'bugging' DS1 at playtime - pulling his coat, hanging onto him, shouting silly things at him.
Unfortunately he absolutely adores his big brother and doesn't seem to realise how unpopular it's making him!
Then at home, as soon as they're left together for any length of time they are wrestling on the sofa within minutes.
It's driving me (and DS1 I suspect) mad! It's not as if they can't go and do stuff on their own - they both have their own bedrooms, and a playroom.
We've talked to DS2 about the whole thing, to try to make him understand that he needs to give his brother some space, but he either just doesn't understand, or ignores us.
It's not possible to always do separate things with them after school, but nor can I be sitting 'over them' to make sure they behave.
Help.
