Hey Other Parents #008: Five Feet of Fury (Sibling Fights)

This week we are discussing what happens when kids get into arguments. It’s not easy but it’s part of the experience. Michael’s middle guy plays Portal, Barbie and He-Man go to lunch at the McDonalds Play set instead of an Epic Battle Against Skeletor, talking through the vents, Sara’s brother does something to her Barbie dolls, report cards, arguments about control, stealing brownies on plane and payback. We talk about protecting your siblings, how things change as adults, sleeping arrangements, finding a place to let it out, age gaps, and grab me a snack “while you’re up.” This is a big topic and we try to break it down while learning from one-another. So break out those boxing gloves because it’s time to throw down!
