For all those moms who have more then one boy, such as I do, have been involved in a fight one way or another. I can't count the times that I have heard mothers with boys state that they can't keep their boys from fighting. Bill Cosby once said, "You aren't really a parent until you've had your second child." That is so true. Remember when you only had one child and you seemed to never have this problem. After that second boy came, you now have these problems. In every family, with every child, there is always going to be fighting. I remember fighting with my sister, right down to the way we looked at each other. My mom would tell stories of picking us up and putting us outside. She just figured to let us go and shortly after we would come back inside trying to figure out how we got outside forgetting about the fight all together. Whether its over toys, television watching, or even just a look, they are always going to be there. There is some things that moms can do to help, or at least lessen, these arguments.
The first thing that you can do is prepare for them. They could be coming home from school, coming from grandma's, or just starting the day, but being prepared for them is the best. You should have snacks and juice ready for after school. Then there is videos or books (if you are like me and frown on watching so much tv) so then they have something to do. You could also have toys or games that they could play with. If children have something to do, they won't have as much time to fight.
