My eldest two squabble all the time. They cannot walk past each other without one of them muttering something rude to the other.
They sit on the sofa and squabble, move your feet/you stink/stop eating near me type nonsense. If we go out in the car they argue over who sits where, if one asks to go somewhere the other will come up with reasons why we shouldn't, if one turns on the TV the other complains about whats on until massive row erupts. They slag each others friends off. They laugh at each others hobbies. They never, ever, ever support each other, or say well done. They hate to see the other succeed.
They ruin days out, and really seem to hate each other! They also vie for youngest child's attention and affection.Causing more rows!
Has anyone managed to help teens to get along? Stop squabbling? Should we try for family counselling?
Any advice would be great.
