    Sounds just like my sister and I.

    We are 13 months apart (I am the elder of the two) and Mum always hoped we'd get on well and be good friends...NO WAY.

    We have fought our entire lives, we're like chalk and cheese.

    Drove our Mum bonkers. Major warzone every single day.

    Sounds like both your girls have a good strong personality each!

    I guess the good thing is, as we got older, we learnt to stay out of each other's way.

    As long as they're not killing each other, maybe let them sort it our between themselves? They'll get tired of it eventually.

    Girl fights are always the worst to watch and hear. :-(

    I'm sorry I can't help. I wish I had some magical solution to make things better.

    At the moment I'm going through some challenging behaviour with my eldest. I couldn't imagine having 2 carrying on like him.
    I really feel for you. How do you handle school holidays and weekends? I feel like school is my saviour most of the time lately. oh my gosh!

    Big massive hugs.

    To me it sounds like typical behaviour - my sister and I are 18 months aprts and we are very different in personality. She is a very strong personality, whereas I am more easy going, keep the peace. She is a clan & neat freak, I am a little messy. We fought alot during our teenage years. The fighting was mainly verbal but occassionally physically. The verbal 'I wish you weren't my sister' is for maximum hurt factor....Whilst some siblings can't stand each other, most just say hurtful/nasty words for maximum impact. I am not sure how old your DD's are though. Do they share a bedroom? We did and it was a nightmare! At one time my sister put a line in the middle of the room so I didn't go on her side! lol Perhaps try putting them in seperate rooms/our of each others way so they have minimal interaction with each other.
