Why are my girls like this-I need some serious advice

[cocobambino]

I find that even when we have a freind or family member visit that my kids are better behaved... we don't have anyone to 'take our kids for a while' either but every so often someone will come over and visit which helps a bit. My kids have an uncle who is a primary school teacher... he's great... he just has to ask the kids whether they have heard me and they slow right down. He doesn't lecture them or anything.

Are your girls better when you take them out? Or do they fight in public as well?

They dnt so much as fight in public, they get into mischief together like running off or pretending to cuddle and knocking each other to the ground, picking everything up, yelling and jumping around

I know this doesn't help but my sister and I are 13 month apart. We've never got on very well and still don't.

There have been some shocking fights as children and my parents sometimes just dealt with it like this becuase there was nothing else they could do:

sister (crying): Amanda hit me!
dad: Well don't annoy her. She's bigger than you and therefore hits harder.

The other week the family was all in the one spot (sadly for a funeral) and people were asking my mum if sister and I spend time together. She basically said "Yeah, right!".
