It has taken awhile but my kids are finally starting to become friends.
They have fun, laugh, smile, and pretend to beat each other up.
I love it.
To see some of their good times as they grow beyond sisterhood into friendship
check out my guest post at The Blue Zoo.

Isn’t that about the best thing for a mom? To have her kids enjoy each other.
I didn’t get along with my siblings growing up. We now have a tentative peace, but I wouldn’t say we enjoy hanging out (well, one of them maybe). So it was very important for me to have my kids like each other.
I may have blown lots of things as a mom, but I scored on that one!
Thanks again for visiting on my SITS day.

My girls are the same way, especially because my youngest doesn’t like to share.

My kids are like that too. One minute they are hugging, the next it is WW3 up in this joint.

Oooh. The only-child guilt. (Glad you don’t have it.)

I had it for 5 1/2 years. It wasn’t fun.
I really hope my girls get there, but they face the challenge of being 10 years apart in age. I hope they grow up to be close friends!

Mine are 5 1/2 years apart so I understand your struggles.
My girls share a bedroom and are great friends. I grew up with 8 siblings and fighting wasn’t tolerated, so I am pretty hard on my kids and give them a guilt trip when they are mean to each other. I make them sing songs and hug and kiss and read each other books if one has hurt feelings. It seems to always turn out well. (They’re still young)

I couldn’t imagine 8 kids fighting, I don’t think I would have tolerated it either. My oldest is very bossy and my youngest doesn’t like to share. It makes for some interesting playtimes in our house.

I hope so too.
I love this! My brothers and I were always really close so I hope that my kids will get along like this some day!
My sister and I were close growing up too. I love seeing my kids get along.

My youngest two are in limbo with that too. I can’t wait until they do officially work that contract out, because it’s exhausting always being the referee!
My kids still have their moments of fighting, especially because neither likes to share but it’s at least getting better in the moments that they do play together.
