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.

You aren't failing, kids fight. Me and my sister were arch enemies growing up. How old are they? When mine fight, I make them sit down and talk it out (usually after shouting at them to cut it out and losing my temper) until they can be civilised with each other again.

They are 14 and 11. You should hear the insults that go back and forth. I hope this is just a phase

Have you tried talking to them about why they do it?

The older one thinks the younger one is jealous of her and she tries to copy the way she dresses, talks and even walks 😂😂😂 Aye! Kids are something else lol
