I Am a Mother of 2 Daughters

They have 3 year age gap between them. Sometimes I think it's more like a 10 year gap, the way in which they argue and sometimes come close to hitting each other. I really can not relate to this behavior because I have a sister whom I loved and nurtured with much care. We would have our little squabbles nothing that got out of hand where our parents would have to get involved. Today was the limit for me, watching them rolling on the flow throwing punches is not the way I wanted to see my kids behaving. Playing referee aggravated me to an extent where I also lost my senses by raising my voice and sending them of to their rooms. This leaves me with tears that I am failing some where in my parenting skills.

If you compare your kids with anyone, you aren't going great. Treat them way they are and not compare them with anyone. Your time was and their time is different. Just my two cents.

I wasn't trying to compare I'm just saying I can't relate. Maybe if I could then I would understand how to handle this situation.

🤔 oh ok then. Don't think them fighting is one time thing, they might fight again. You can't stop them from fighting, but if you can keep fighting to minimum, that will make you an awesome mom.
