The non stop bickering… HELP!

We have 3 DDs (8, 8, 11). They do love each other, and have moments where they all play together beautifully. When playing outside the home with other kids they are generally drawn to each other in a little tribe. The issue we’re having is the bickering. It’s non-stop. It drives DH and I round the bend. They’ve just spent some time with DGP, and it seems that they were very ready for DDs to return home after a couple of days together so that they didn’t have to listen to any more bickering. It’s really exhausting. There doesn’t seem to be one clear culprit (that we can remove), it’s just continuous back and forth. I’ve had very frank conversations with them about the effect this has on us, but they just wont stop and it’s driving us to despair! Does anyone have any tips on how we can manage this? Anything!?

The only thing that works with mine is putting them in separate rooms for some peace!

Same technique here. If you can't be on the same space together without arguing, then you go to separate places. Easier for me with only 2 but this is my home too and I have zero tolerance for having to listen to bickering.
