Mom, he's looking at me!!

My was hitting when I was very young. I have 2 older brothers and 2 older sisters and 1 younger sister. Here was the birth order: Sister, brother, brother, sister, ME, sister. We were all about 2 years apart except for me and my younger sister. We were only a year apart. Well somehow we were divided into the 3 older and 3 younger kids. It is still that way now. So in essence, I was between two of my sisters. As I got older, I did a lot of teasing which I learned from my oldest brother who used to tease me alot. Even now, I can not help but tease my one sister who is just above me in the birth order. She is 2 years older than me but I am more like her older brother than her younger brother. She also lives the closest to me so I see her quite often and that makes it easier to tease her. However, since I have been teaching, it is hard to resist the readily available supply of teasing victims known as students. I am careful and reserved and do not hurt anyone's feelings.

my older brother use to pick at me but not to much,he did not hit me but he called me "sprout" or sqirt",and it use to bother me....Sometimes my mother would have to go someplace and she would tell him to babysit me,and he would say to me"You got to mind me" Im the boss now",i would say your not my boss, and he would say "your at my mercy...haha....Now my grandchildren have always been real good together,they don't fight with each other,when i have been around or if my daughter is around,she will not allow it,but you never know what they do when you aren't watching.....Lol.....My kids were demons to each other,they fought and fussed all the time,but if a outsider jumped on them they would take up for each other....

My son and daughter are always fighting. It is usually the baby picking on her older brother. She bites and pinches and scratches him all the time and makes him cry. She is 14 months old and he is 8!

I was lucky in that I had no siblings to rival with! I only realise how lucky I am with witnessing my own childrens fall outs. They are not over nasty with each other but the falling out and aggravating is getting worse as they get older. I find it sad in a way that my 2 youngest boys seem to be falling out more, they have always been so close and my 6 year old adores his 7 year old brother and he gets so upset when he is horrible to him. My 7 year old always asks me why he has to have brothers and a sister, he says he wishes I had only had him, and then I feel really sad for him. I hope that they grow out of it and end up being close when they are older.

"He/She did it!" (Pointing at each other) This was our patented Phrase everytime we got caught by mom. It is a common thing among siblings. My 2 brothers and I grew up loving and hating each other. We grew up fighting, hitting, bitting, slapping, pinching and poking one another like there was no tomorrow. But we grew up closed as friends and peer too. It was how we bonded as a kid and it was what we laughed about now that we are all grown up. When my brother's 3 kids will fight, we just laugh now and tell each other which of the kids is like me, which one is like my second sibling and which one is like my youngest sibling.

For me when i was younger, my brother would turn me over and use his heels to hit on my butt. If you do it really fast, you would feel the pain too. This is all about life when your young but it stops as i grows older too.

my friend and her cousin, lived in the house growing up so they were like sisters, my friends mother did the cooking but she had to make sure the girls had exactly the same thing or she would hear about it. it was so extreme, that they had to have everything the same on their plate and I mean everything, she even had to count the peas, or she would hear about it, it was how come she got 10 peas and I got only 9 lol

I am sorry to say that my brother, sister and I have never gone through this rivalry. My mother would not stand for it. I remember my brother and i had one fight as children and my mother made us stand in the middle of the room hugging each other for over and hour. We never had a fight or anything like that again. we all are very close and always get along. sorry no crazy cat stories here

My boys fight a lot. At first I would get into the middle of things to try and stop the fight and keep the older one from doing serious bodily harm to the younger one, but then I realized my younger boy knew exactly what to do to get his brother riled, and did it on a regular basis, so I started staying out of it and let him learn not to aggravate his older brother. I think he was just using the fighting to get attention so he is not pestering his older brother as much now.

I can't understand such sort of feeling. I am the only child of my parents. I envy from time to time that brothers or sisters playing together. I can't imagine that I would fight with my brothers or sisters if I have. In fact, when I was young, I always felt uncomfortable, for my parents took care of my aunt's or my uncle's children more than me. If only I heve a old brother or sister! For me, I want to raise 2 or more children to make up my regret. I hope that my kids will love each other....lol.....
