Siblings fight. I grew up with not only my brother but 3 of my cousins pretty much living with us and we all fought. It's just one of those things

I am the oldest of 5 children.  We fought too.  But we would have enough love to have each other's backs.   Hopefully they will have each other's backs when one needs it.  I recall my sister next to me (I am 55 and she is 50) kept me in trouble, but I loved her.

I am the oldest of four, and we fought a lot as kids.  But when someone else picked on one of us, we fought back for them.  Now that we are in our sixties and seventies, we are closer, except for my youngest sister.  She became addicted to prescription drugs and has severe mood swings, sometimes explosive.  It is hard to get close to her.  My brother passed away a couple of years ago, and we were very much closer before he died.  I am grateful for that.

My brother and I faught as we grew up but not near as much as my 19 year old and 11 year old girls do. Drives me crazy as well. Hopefully with the 19 year old starting college in the fall( even though this first year she'll be attending a local college) things will be a little better. Right now we just have to get through high school graduation.

It can be frustrating and upsetting to watch — and hear — your kids fight with one another. A household that's full of conflict is stressful for everyone. Yet often it's hard to know how to stop the fighting, and or even whether you should get involved at all. But you can take steps to promote peace in your household and help your kids get along.

I am the youngest of 9 and I am 50 years old. But back in the day my youngest brother and I fought more than anybody.

My children are 24 and 18 and thank God they have grown away from fighting. They use to drive me crazy. Girl 24 Boy 18.

It drives me nutts how bad they fight

[sharonpatri55]

My sisters and I had our share of fights as we were growing up, but when one of us got into a precarious situation the other was right there to defend and protect.

All siblings fight. I've gotten quite a few scars over the years from fighting with mine. At the end of the day, though, most siblings would rush to protect each other. They'll grow out of it. Don't worry.

I agree that all siblings fight. I was fighting aganist my sister for years when I was young. We were, like yours, fighting over almost everything small or big but now we are very close sisters.

You are not alone in this. Most parents rank kids’ fighting with each other as the parenting issue that most bothers them, and that they feel least able to prevent.
