Sibling Conflict

I don't care what my parents say. Heather is the devil and she's nothing like I was.

Everything coming out of her mouth is a scream, a hair toss, arms crossed, chin jutted out. She believes she is fully correct on any issue and everyone else is wrong.

I don't hit my kids but I have had to yank her up and physically move her at times when she would just flat out stick her feet in somewhere she shouldn't be and refuse to move. She's got attitude, arrogance and way too much of both.

Mikey was never like this. He has his issues today but even still. Pretend to be ME..for one second.

Mikey at home on the computer.. Heather running around playing....me cleaning/laundry/whatever... Heather will be messing around and make some noise Mikey doesn't like. The SECOND she finds out he doesn't like it... she amplifies it and does it faster.

So then I am trying to hush her up, move her to her room, encourage Mikey to ignore her, ANYTHING...and I get that under control.

While moving laundry from washer to dryer Mikey starts to freak out. Heather is playing with the cable wires..fine I pick her up and move her but within seconds she goes RIGHT back.. watches Mikey...and picks up a wire.

I get Heather settled, dinner done, dishes going in the washer, kids fed, etc etc. Mikey says "Heather needs to go to bed".. SCREAMS like you would not believe ensue.. I try to ask Mikey NOT to say that.. I will get her to bed. But every night, more than once "NO Heather its bedtime" "SCREAMMMMMMMMMM"... and on and on..

Neither of them are saints. They bait the other, say things, throw things, engage in arguments I ask them to ignore.. but every single day I deal with them. When they interact together...it's great. They play together wonderful (when they want).

Any other time... it's like a mission to drive me insane.

I can have xanax please??
