Teenagers and their younger siblings

[ricdavsoc 10]

Can anybody tell me why does a 13 year old boy think that it his alright to have a go at his 8 year old sister. They are always at it it is a wounder they havent hurt each other. Always playing each other up mum she did this mum he did that if you know what i mean. I have had it up to here

Its the same in my house too. My lot are 14, 13 and 10. My esldest (boy) keeps to himself and really isnt a problem. The other 2 (both girls) are at it hammer and tongs, day in, day out. Telling tales, causing trouble, I agree 100% with you about having had it up to here!

They even argue about whether or not they were arguing!

I have told them eaqrlier this afternoon that I am hearing no more of it. If I do then each time I need to tell them they are gonna lose a privelege AND a Christmas present.

So far so good....

My 2 boys used to argue constantly, theres 7 years between them.

 

Just about every night i`d end up crying because they had worn me down so much with the constant bickering, telling tales and tip-tapping each other.

 

Now they are older, (the oldest is 19) they get on brilliantly, the oldest has just come back from Afghanistan and the youngest missed him terribly - he absolutely idolises him.

 

A few years ago I would never have dreamt they would get on so well.

 

Unfortunately i think its part of growing up. Me and my 2 sisters used to argue loads.
