Fighting dts!

The dts are getting worse by the day. Rav's newest trick is headbutting I was totally gobsmacked (plus he first did it while the police were here , for those who know about my other story ) He tried it again at the supermarket so it isn't a one off. I jsut don't udnerstand where he got the idea from. I really hate seeing it.
Other than that, they bite, slap, kick, and stamp on each other. They cannot stand each othe rmost of the time, and putting them in the twin buggy is a nightmare, because if one puts so much as a finger too close to the other there is screaming and biting. The fight over everything though, and are rarely affectionate. I'm at a loss to know what to do with them, other than possibly buy them a boxing ring?!

No experience as my dts adore each other and cant bear to be apart, though they do have thier moments, do they still nap in the day, if so could they have thier naps seperately so they get you to themselves for a while.

ok, rub it in why don't you!

I normally try to get them to nap at the same time, so that I get a break, but that might be a good idea. Though usually, if I put one up and not the other, the other won't leave them alone and keeps sneaking up the stairs to find them. I guess they do love each other really, but they are so mean to each other!

Hi Kelly, if its any help, mine have been like this for a few months. Its awful. The buggy is one of the worst times, as are shopping trolleys. Sometimes they kiss each other and other times they hate each other. Mine are fighting constantly about toys too. It doesn't matter what it is, one just wants what the other has. Its totally normal and a phase but not any easier to deal with. I split mine up on a Monday to give them a chance to be without the other, any chance you can? (not an arse in hells chance I hear you say )

I could let just one go to the cm tomorrow. But then no break for me Every other time she ahs had them I seem to be rushing about getting jobs done so I have promised myself soem time for ME to get my nails done, as I can't really do them myslef and they are about 6 inches long now. But I think you both are right, and I am trying to sort out nursery for them (hopefully ss will be paying) and I think I will ask for them to have sessions seperately as well as together.

Don't think it's just dts that do this - ds (same ages as your dts) is constantly picking fights with dd (3). But had him for firdt time on his own at home yesterday and all he did was walk around the house looking for her - hoping its a phase............
