Before ss2 was born things were pretty mellow. However, sibling rivalry seems to have started and it feels like every day with the kids is a hurricane of crying, fighting, complaining, etc. Is this normal? Unless one of the boys is asleep, they are in the midst of some sort of conflict with each other or with us. They are fine when they are by themselves, though.

I don't get it. They are three years apart and they act like they are in some sort of death match for attention, toys, food, etc.

I'm getting pretty fed up with it. FDH is really good at blocking things out, but I'm not. And I don't want to make myself block them out, either. I just want them to stop fighting with each other over everything.

Suggestions?
