Im never sure how to deal with them. Both my boys claim the other never gets in trouble and that I dont care about them and my middle martyr claims the oldest could kill him and it would be all right with me.
Would there be quiet then?
I blame my mom for her lack of example in this department and probably she blames hers. If dead people blame one another for things.
So I was really glad for the useful tips on how to deal with infighting found over at here at the Suburban Correspondant's blog.
Thanks for the reassurance that reading another parenting book will not help!
Anyone who goes over there pay special attention to Jill's comment, which states that kids are perfectly capable of fighting about the potential for future fighting. I think she is probably correct and the only possible response is chocolate. Maybe with wine. And the closet looks better every day!

Glad to be of help!
You know, John Rosemond recommends that every time the kids fight, send them all to their rooms. Even if one of them isn't at fault - he says it evens out in the long run.
