There are some parenting situations you just can’t win.? Case in point: Thing 1 and Thing 2 were at it again, in the throws of a heated sibling rivalry.? For a change.
I managed to get control of the situation and both agreed to sit down and quietly watch a TV show together.? They actually agreed on which show to watch, which is quite a win by itself.? Usually, there is an epic battle between The Backyardigans and Diego.? It really doesn’t matter who wants to watch what. Just that one doesn’t want whatever the other wants.
But this time, they agreed.? This time, SuburbanDaddy wins.? Well, not so fast.
Two minutes into it, Thing 1 says he can’t hear, so I make it louder.? Then, Thing 2 says it’s too loud and it’s hurting his ears.? Another heated sibling rivalry ensues.? Lots of screaming, crying, whining.? Some if it mine.? There is no winning.
I know this pain; it doesn’t matter how old they are, either. Fortunately, we went camping this weekend, and whenever we go camping, our kids get along FAMOUSLY! (That’s why we don’t allow friends to come along; it’s such a treat to see them forced to get along :)
Why do kids enjoy fighting so much? It’s a mystery!
hey!!!! im a kid!!! and i have a twin brother but we never fight! it depends how well they get along. becasue i no many other twins and non-twins that are like best friends!!! and then others that are enemeys. i belive there is more to fighting as well. but it wouldnt be normal for siblings NOT to fight. if you no what i mean?
