My SKs should have been only children (LOL)

I say this jokingly....sorta!

We are in our 3rd week of summer visitation and Holy Lord these kids are wearing us OUT!

They fuss and fight (normal kid fights) with each other 99.9% of the time, and then out of the blue you'll catch the little one sitting next to the older one hugging him and it blows your mind.

It'll melt your little heart.

    lol  its crazy how kids are that way. a couple days ago my 2 sk's were arguing. pretty serious...6 yo wanted to show me a toy and her 4 yo brother showed me before she could grab it and do it herself. it was a piece of crap toy that came in an easter bundle that i honestly hardly remember anyway....whining started and then came "i'm going to my room and not letting you in" and the 4 yo responded with the same thing and i told them both GOOD! maybe you should try that more often!! haha i've told DH sometimes you gotta seperate them in order for them to get along the other times.

    The 3 yr old constantly tells me that the 7 year old is "mean". But ...the minute we drop him off in the a.m. to daycamp she says she misses him. I think she misses the fighting LOL!

    our 4yo has started using the word mean and meanie lately actually! except he uses it towards everybody (not a fan of it).

    i figure if they argue oh well...they don't have to spend every minute together. i definitely didn't spend all my time growing up with my older brother.

    they still tell each other goodnight though and brush their teeth together before bed.

    i figure when they do argue and go off to their own rooms, its usually somewhat quieter for a while at that point!

    Man, my sister and me growing up were like this too. One minute fighting and the next minute we're the best of friends. One time I threw a hairbrush at her head. When it hit her in the forehead she started crying and I burst into tears too. LOL. 

     She's my best friend now. :)

    some thing funny my DH used to do with his kids when they would get to spatting like this, he would make his kids hold hands.. for like hours at a time.. They couldnt stand it, but it made them learn to get along with each other. They are 2 years apart.. Even if he would have to go to the store or something, there they would be holding hands walking through the store. He even did this once they got a little older, like around 10 and 8. They would get to fussing with each other.. He would let them break when they had to use the rest room (they are boy and girl), but other than that, they were to hold hands ALL the time. He would use this with his nephews also (they were both boys) when he had custody of them for a period of time, now they didnt have a break using the rest room and he turned their attitudes around quick... Just thought I would share..
