Doesn't it drive you mad at times.
I can usually cope with the bickering that my boys, 22 & 16, indulge in. Its usually about such things as 'what's better Xbox or PS3', I-phone or blackberry, is it better to have a flatscreen tv on the wall or on your chest of drawers, Diesel or Paca Rabanne, and daft arguments about the younger one 'borrowing' the elder ones clothes and aftershave.
I knew last night was gonna get nasty when 'whose girlfriend is prettier' started and it end with them fighting over the dining table, and after splitting them up and sending them upstairs, whilst I cleaned up food and drink that had been spilt all ov er the place, continuing to fight upstairs.
Thankfully they didn't punch just grappled and tried to pin each other down but it was scary watching my boys, a grown man and an inbetweener, fighting and being really nasty. How do you cope with it, are boys worse than girls, do older sisters physically fight like the boys do, what's it like with one of each when arguments kick off  |

Thankfully ive got 2 girls aged 20yrs and 22yrs. They have always fought the bit out, (verbally). However they are close and wouldnt let anyone do or say anything about the other. Saying that there is times when i wish they would just stop the silly squabbles. xx |

I am the typical rebellious middle child, and have an older sister and a younger brother.
She was favoured by my dad, and my bro being the youngest and male in an oriental family, got away with a lot.
I was compared with my sister all the time when we were young, as we went to the same schools up to the point of university.
It was only after we went our separate ways that my parents stopped to compare us.
After an argument in 2002, I decided I no longer wish to communicate with my sister.
I do not believe I have to put up with her slagging me off left, right and centre, and have to put up with her superiority complex just because we share some DNA.
I am only giving her a taste of her own medicine, as she had not spoken to my brother since 1989!
Apparently she is now married, to the person who was the cause of our last argument back in 2002. Good luck them I'd say!

My kids actually just lately arent fighting to much.. but they are younger at 15, 13, 10 and 5.. However the worst fights I get are between my 19 year old and my 10 year old son.. I really have yet to work out why the oldest cant just ignore the obvious wind up...
Lately my 10 year old has started to "chat" up his brothers g/f and tell her that when he is bigger he will treat her nice..  ( its most amusing.) but this causes right rows..
On the whole mine stop at the word ENOUGH.
However, my sister and I who are 2 1/2 years apart ( with me as the elder) used to fight like cat and dog.. But didnt matter who started it as it was always my fault.. as she was the baby...

I had two sisters, one older, one younger. We fought all the time, but we were very close too, and my older sister pretty much brought up me and my younger sister. We still get on fine now.
I only had one child so no sibling rivalry to sort out. |

I only had one sibling. We argued like hell as kids, she was 2 years older than me. We used to kick shit out of each other. I always felt like she was favoured by my parents. All it was really was that she behaved and was a model child and I was a brat. Plus I suppose my parents sensed she needed them more than me, she was shy while i was confident. This situation went into our adult lives. We got on better when we both married men who were friends. Once our children came along we got on better. But I still always felt resentful of her for certain things. It was only when she got ill that I looked at things in a whole new perspective. I could understand the way my parents behaved with us both, they really did know their children well and who needed what from them. I was fortunate I managed to talk to my sister and make amends just before she died. I saw her for the woman she was, not just the sister. |

Oh and by the way. I only had one child and for many years I wished that I could have heard the sibling rivalary and banter that was missing in my home. |

I'm the oldest of three children, my sister is only 13 months younger than me but is learning disabled so I've always looked out for her, and still do.
My parents left to go on holiday this morning and my first call of the day was from my sister seeking reassurance that I'm here. I'm her substitute mum while our mum is away.
My brother is six years younger and again while we were growing up I looked out for him. Now he's an adult we are not as close but god help anyone who were to hurt any one of us as the other two would wreak revenge! |

I only had one son so didnt have that problem. I had a much older sister, we dont get on and never see each other. I see my older brother about once a year. I didnt like being the youngest because i used to get bossed about a lot, was glad when i got married and left home, to get a bit of peace and quiet. |
