My boys never really fought.... they were more like partners in crime. Even now, when one of them is angry, its generally about something my husband or I said or made them do (or NOT do), or its because of their sisters.
Ah, yes, the sisters.... Rebecca and Rachel, two of the sweetest little girls, with two of the most explosive temperments I have ever encounted in a person less than 5 foot tall! Actually Becca is probably about 5'1 now. She and Rocky fight like Bush and Kerry... its exhausting having to step between them and break it up all the time. Then, when I agree with one, suddenly I'm the bad guy and I find myself accused of loving the other sister more!
This morning I thought there was a break through, a hope for peace. Rocky was wrapping a Christmas gift for her big sister. It warmed my heart because usually I have to force her to do something nice for her sister, and here she was doing it on her own. Then, silly me, I had to ruin the moment by asking what it was.
'A lump of coal!' Rocky proclaimed proudly, displaying a charcoal briquette.
'Rocky NO!' I scolded. 'You can't give your sister a lump of coal!'
'Fine, then I'll give her 3!' she said with impish innocence.
'Rocky, I give the coal out around here, now put that away!'
Oh my Lord, what have I ever done to deserve this? Okay, don't answer that... just please have mercy on me... these little joys will be living with me for about 8 more years, just give me the strength to make it through. And then send some really nice and really patient guys their way so they can get married, move out and have lots of little girls JUST LIKE THEMSELVES!

of course you struck a nerve with me..... with that "have some girls just like themselves" thing. being that i have a lil girl right now- if i get aggravated at all- my mom always says "she's just like you!!!" i cannot imagine that i was that aggravating!!!! lol hope you have a good one..... ray
I DON'T MEAN TO FIGHT MOM . I SERIOUSLY DON'T MEAN TO FIGHT . I JUST FEEL ANGER WHEN ROCKY GET'S ON MY NERVES YOU KNOW .
My brothers never fought with each other, and I never fought with them. My sisters and I, however, had the most violent fights one can imagine (REALLY bad!). We were to blame for making my dad go totally grey, and causing my mom's anxiety attacks!! Whenever the day comes that I have kids, I am PRAYING that I do not have more than one girl ... I don't think that I could handle two!!
