As the title says really and some more!! I anticipated a certain level of clashes given that there is only 18 months between ds1 and ds2 but the fighting between them at the minute feels like it's got out of control.
To give a little context, personality and character wise they are completely opposite. Ds1 in a sensitive soul - he's never been a hitter/biter/pusher and if he's unhappy he will express it vocally by squealing the house down. Ds2 on the other hand is very very boisterous and is currently going through a pretty violent phase which we are working on ironing out but obviously this doesn't happen overnight - he expresses anger in a physical way.
So the problem is they can't do anything together without it turning into a fight. Ds1 snatches everything off ds2 or sometimes it is the other way around. Ds1 shrieks as loud as he can and ds2 bites/pinches. As I said, I expected some of this but it is literally from when they wake until when they go to bed. I spend the entire day trying to referee and putting someone on the naughty step.
I don't know what I'm hoping to achieve from this post, maybe I just need to get it off my chest because I feel so upset about it all - they seem to hate each other and any affection they used to show one another has completely gone (up until a few months ago they'd cuddle and kiss etc). I'm at the end of my tether
