DD is 17, DS is 20 and they just don't get on. She winds him up and he's rude to her. It's just a cycle that never ends. I dread mealtimes as the sniping always happens. I'm a single parent and their dad doesn't really see them and doesn't get involved in this type of thing. They love their dad, but he's not really acting like a dad, if that makes sense.
I've spoken to them both about how it upsets me. Then they just get cross with me.
I am at my wits end with how to deal with it. We all live under the same roof and I feel I'm walking on eggshells all the times. I don't expect them to be best friends but it'd be nice if they could at least be civil to each other.
Does anyone have any words of advice?
