The most ridiculous thing your DCs have fought over?

[DigleyAndDazey]

Today my toddler DCs came to blows about a broom (really old, plain wooden one that the previous owners of the house left behind, so not even like a nice, desirable, special child-friendly, colourful one or anything) in the garden. They both had a meltdown as they needed to sweep right away.

How about yours?

The colour of the sky

proper physical blows 😱

Over who was on which side of me for a hug.

They are 10&11....

How they poo....

A carrot. A fucking carrot.

One made the other an imaginary hot chocolate and he wanted imaginary hot milk..

Who saw the windmill first en route - every time!

Whether ambergris was whale vomit or poo. They were in their teens at the time and were hitting each other over the dinner table in their fury at each other. It was the most ridiculous argument ever, and they’ve had a good few over the years.

Mine used to fight over drinks or treats, even who got the most chocolate on a split kit kat. In the end I made one pour or split and the other one choose.

They had a real go at each other over possession of a leaf.

We were in the middle of a forest at the time

Which knife and fork they have. Caused so many arguments. Honestly some days they fight over everything. It’s exhausting.

Dd2 saw a sheep out of the car window. She pointed this out to dd1 who was filled with fury because the sheep was outside her window and not dd2's window and therefore it was her sheep and dd2 should GET HER OWN SHEEP!

The argument lasted all the way home...

Who has which cutlery, which glass etc (matching set so I'm sure they're just pissing eachother off and can't actually tell the difference!), who gets to press the button at lifts/crossings ...

You'd think buying 2 identical toys etc would mean all equal and happy but no, one is always superior! According to my parents it's karma for our behaviour as kids 😂.

Who licked who first.
Who gets the traffic light spoon for breakfast
Who spotted nursery first from the car window.

This is just one day

Which brother gets to curl their sisters hair 🙈

Getting new footwear. Ds who is 16 months younger than dd measured a size bigger than her. She lost all reason and was insisting on getting the same size as him as she was older and therefore couldn't possibly be a smaller size.

When my girls were 4 they had an argument that was basically “stop looking like me… no, you stop looking like me”

I think 6 was the argument over who should be taller. Not who was. Who should. The eldest or the actual tallest.

My two argued about who was higher.

on a merry-go-round

you know, the ones with horses that go…up and down.

the ride seemed to go on for ever….

They both were insisting that purple was their favourite colour. Neither could accept that it was possible for two people to have the same favourite colour.

Half a dead ant

Over who would die first if they both stepped into the road without looking.

I despair some days.

"She's breathing my air"

Who I like more.

Guys, right now, I can settle this real quick...😬

DTwins, age 3, had a marvellous Saturday morning, where they managed 25 minutes arguing over whose turn it was to cough.

We had a litter of 10 Labrador puppies. All black and absolutely identical. But DD (about 7) and DS (about 4) argued over holding the same puppy. Honestly at that point they all looked the same but the kids argued about this one puppy for hours and hours (no puppies were harmed during the duration of the argument!)

A bottle opener in a cracker. Which my daughter thought (and wouldn't accept it wasn't) was a potato peeler and apparently she loved peeling potatoes (8 years old at the the time). Her 6yr old brother got it in his side of the cracker. It turned into a full on physical fight on christmas day.
