I've had it up to here (visual image of me holding my hand up to the top of my head....much like a salute) with my girls bickering. They are 3 and 6....up till about 2 months ago, they got along great! Just the occasional fight. Well, now it's all the freaking time!
I've tried seperating them, time outs, everything! I'm finished with it. I went to the garage, got a box, and have dubbed it the Bicker Box. If they are bickering about ANYTHING, it goes into the box. I don't care whose fault it is, whether it's not fair, whether I'm being mean....it's going in! The first thing to go into the Bicker Box were two placemats. Yes, placemats. I haven't decided what will happen to the contents of the Bicker Box yet. I'll either keep it put away for a while, or I'll give it away.
Does bickering drive anyone else absolutely nutty? I can tolerate fighting here and there, but constant bickering like they are doing lately drives me crazy.
What are your solutions for bickering?
