Mazzy and Harlow are fighting like cats and dogs this week. Mazzy is being extra clingy and Harlow is being extra standoffish and it’s just a terrible mix. I keep telling them this is their last week together before Mazzy goes to sleep-away camp so they should make the most of it, but I guess this is how they are prepping themselves for the separation. Siblings 😩 Any tips for keeping the peace between your kids???

he11ok11tty I just have to say, 1st my kids are like this all summer but they're a boy and girl and 7 1/2 years apart so... Aint no rest for the wicked lol and i can't wait to hear how her sleep away camp goes. 4 weeks is long! My son is about to be 13 and just spent his 1st week without us for a leadership trip in Washington D.C. the first night I talked to him he sounded like he was trying not to cry and missed us but the day we picked him up he was so happy and didnt want to leave. He even said towards the end he didn't miss us! ?

bee.mindful.love Let them work through it! I'm big on letting my kids solve their own issues. There's a line of course, and if needed I'll guide them through it. But they're learning to respect each other and sometimes that means pushing each other's buttons, as counterintuitive as that sounds! Plus, they're likely having some anxiety about the upcoming separation. This is their way of expressing that and I bet you anything they'll run and hug when they're reunited!

ashleychimes Lots of transitioning happens this time of year. And I’m sure they’re both anxious for the upcoming separation. Harlow can send her letters/care packages! We have off and on days but my girls are same ages and fight a lot too. But I remind myself that this means they are also very close! When I need ✌?? and a break from the fighting, audiobooks or music helps. They are distracted from their bickering and listen/shut up ?

copenhagenmama What we do is we do the opposite of what you would normally do. When our oldest two kids (10 and 6 years) have been fighting a lot, we begin to laugh and say “no no you can not be kind to your sister, stooop smiling you two, be unhappy and unkind, you are waaay too kind”. It works, at least sometimes☺️

wundernutt My kids are 3 and 5, and Mr. 5 is highly emotional since school let out last week, and Miss 3 DOES NOT GIVE A F. She’s relentless and he plays right into her hands every. Single. Time. Especially in the evenings when he’s home from camp and she wants to hassle him. It’s unbearable.

laneandlauren OMG, we are in the exact same place. It’s funny how the younger one is the standoffish one. It totally hurts Lane’s feelings and is just a disaster. I try to tell them to give each other space, but they won’t - they’d rather piss each other off all day. ?
