My Beautiful Boy

I know all siblings fight – well most of them probably do and I know that is normal.  But my boys just don’t stop!  Lachlan doesn’t fight much, he’s pretty good.  He’s very laid back and goes with the flow and he doesn’t go out of his way to cause trouble at all.

But the oldest two, they absolutely hate each other.

I have no idea why and I have no idea what to do to stop them constantly fighting.  It is getting to the stage where even their friends are talking about how bad they are to each other and they wonder why they can’t try and get on together a bit better.

Corey’s psychologist did say that Corey seems to be obsessed with Ben and he really is.  Everything that happens in his life is somehow Bens fault.  But it doesn’t help that Ben constantly teases and annoys Corey and pretty much has done it all of his life.

Corey has had enough but at the same time he thinks its ok to tease and annoy other people.

AAAAAHHHHH!   They are driving me crazy.

They actually get into some pretty physical fights too with Ben usually coming off the worst as Coreys temper just makes him quite strong and aggressive.

So, its not only that it is extremely annoying but also the fact that it is very physical and I am quite concerned that someone is going to get hurt.  I just don’t know what to do though.  How do you make 2 kids like each other when they just don’t.

Any advice please leave a comment, I would love to hear from anyone who has had some success at reducing sibling rivalry.

Take care
