Do your children argue amongst themselves?

Do you have children that bicker over every little thing? Do they fight to ride in the front seat. Do they whine when the other kid is breathing too loud even? What silly things to your children quible about?
How do you react to it? I'm not looking for parenting advice this time. I'm posting a discussion so people can vent if they want to!

OMG! My kids drive me NUTS with this kind of behavior! The front seat thing makes me insane! I have started telling them if they can't agree on who is sitting up fornt, they ALL sit in the back. And they fight over the absolute STUPIDEST things! What gets my blood boiling is the tattling. UGH! I have started telling them unless someone is about to get seriously hurt or something is about to be broken or gets broken, I don't want to hear about it! My 7 yo SD is the absolute worst about tattling...drives me crazy!

lol Thanks for the reply! It's good to know I'm not alone. For the most part the oldest rides in the front. She's the one who is most stubborn. But, every once in a while my son gets tired of the unfairness of it all and tried to assert himself. When he does, I try to support him. Usually it's just a matter of who is more stubborn. My daughter is a crafy one though. She claims that she gets car sick when she rides in the back.

I took care of the who gets the front seat arguement. That was easy they take turns. For whatever reason my two sons feel the need to just argue about anything and everything. If one said the sky is blue the other would call him a lier and so forth. i can't believe the things that children fight over. I wish that I could learn to be like my mom and ignore it LOL

My brother and I would fight over any and everything when we were younger. Then when I was about 13, he was 16, he hit his head really really hard on something and he pretty much passed out and I thought he was dying, after that we got along really really well. I was afraid I was going to lose my big brother. We haven't fought since. I'm now 22, well in a few months, but you get the point.
