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 , it sounds like a clash of personalities, it happens,not all siblings get on .Maybe as they get older they will learn to love and respect one another, mine did .

I've heard this from my mom-inlaw. I'm hoping they grow up to love each other. I watch many siblings treating each other like rival enemies. No parent should live watch their kids hating each other when they are all grown up.
