My two eldest kids are driving me craaaaazy!!! DS and DD1 are nearly 9 and nearly 7 and they are constantly at each others throats. I mean constantly, they argue, they scream, they are mean (Go away you stupid big mean boy etc), the fight over toys, over tv programs, over one kicking or irritating the other. Even over one looking at the other the "wrong" way.

I'm over it. At least now I have peace during the day but in the holidays I don't know what to do it's worse when they're bored but I can't fill every moment of the school hols.

Does anyone have any advice on coping stratgies or anything that can help them get along better?

I'm at the point now where it's zero tolerence. As soon as there is shouting or arguing they both go to their rooms, but I feel so mean

I hate yelling at them but sometimes they don't even hear me they're so busy yelling at each other!

Any advice (or offers to have my kids for the next 8 weeks) would be very welcome!
