Kids always arguing

keep reading comments saying how much easier it is to have more than one child as they “play together” but does anyone else’s children not play at all and just argue and fight constantly 😳 please tell me it isn’t just my kids? I spent the majority of the day separating them 🤦‍♀️

Are your children’s vaccines up to date?

Ha yes although they are getting better, at nearly 7 and nearly 4. Playing nicely lasts for a variable amount of time between seconds and tens of minutes, before an argument or shoving happens.
How old are yours?

Oh they are not little ones, they are 14 12 and 9

It’s relentless isnt it, I envy people who have easy children that get along and play together!

The most infuriating thing is that my eldest is SO lovely to other younger children. Mum friends call him their nanny! He just hates his brother 🙈
