Day 264. Fighting.

The kids fight over everything.
They fight over who gets to sit in the middle carseats, 
who gets to turn the TV off, 
who gets to sit next to Mom/Dad at the dinner table, 
who has to get out of the bath first, w
ho has to get their teeth brushed first, and so on and so on.  All. Day. Long.
I know it's perfectly normal for siblings to fight, but man alive, it drives me absolutely crazy!


Today at Home Depot, I could listen to the bickering no longer so I stuck all three of them into the two-seater car cart instead of listening to them fight over who got the coveted two seats.
They spent the entire time pushing each other and complaining about being squished. 
Guess that wasn't such a good idea after all.

I feel for you, Erin! I only have two and I'm OVER it. Coming from a family of three kids, fighting was constant throughout our lives. But you have it waaaay worse because they're the same age and you can't rationalize with the older one. But! I also really loved it. We learned that things aren't going to be fair, nothing can be divided nice and evenly, and at times, two of them are going to gang up on you, so be tough and stand up for yourself. I know it's frustrating and makes you want to pull your hair out. Just trying to put a positive spin on it. :)
