It seems like all mu kids do is argue and it drives my crazy.Even when the do nice things for each other they try to take it back the first argument the got into!And it never fails somehow it always turns into an argument over whose side I'm on.Before you know it,I'm arguing with them and i know there must be a better way,maybe they'll grow out of it.I'm afraid it may turn physical over time.It hurts because they are sisters and i just want them to get along.Does anyone have any suggestions.

not really. there is almost 4 years between them and they are both girls and sort of motherly. i am not saying they dont get on each others nerves sometimes, but they are pretty good and even play bratz together once in a blue moon (they are 11 and 15). i think they are nice to each other because they know that God wants them to be this way. we are christians.
you dont mention how old they are. we have friends that have a son and a daughter with about 1 and a half years between them and they fight like crazy!

ohh my kids do the same thing... i sometimes call them as "Tom and Jerry" :)
you would see them playing all right, doing things together, they they would just fight over nothing... on my... it pisses me off.
but sometimes, i just let them handle things on their own. i just tell them not to hurt each other.

Thanks,it sounds like you can relate!Don't got me wrong if one gets hurt or something,the other is concerned.And they do have their moments which i adore from afar.This way it doesn't end as quick as it would if they realized they were getting along.Even when they fight it's music to my ears and i wouldn't have it any other way.

We have 4 kids: two older (girl-boy) and two younger (girl-boy.) The two oldest are 2.5 yrs apart, they don't so much fight as just bicker and talk rude to eachother all the time. The two youngest are only 10.5 MONTHS apart, are aged 2 & 3 and already fight constantly! I usually seperate them into different rooms, then make them come together and appologize - which involves an "I'm sorry for..." and a hug. So, in my experience, the amount of fighting that occurs seems to be directly related to the age difference, are your girls close in age? Which is the next point - you have two girls! I think that does alot of the explaining as well!! Good luck.

Yes, me and my sister fight -- it seems like we argue more often now that we're getting older. Sometimes it makes us closer and we get over it, sometimes we don't talk for a few days and hold a grudge.
