Do I just have to
deal-- I was an only child so this is all new to me.

I'm right there with ya Cindy. My girls have been going at it with each
other too and lately they've added the "My picture/hair/doll/_____(fill in the
blank) is prettier than yours" etc., etc. It drives me up the wall!

Madison is more physical with the abuse to her sister and Jordan is more
verbal with it. Since I was an only child I don't know if it's just normal
sibling rivalry or if my kids are just hateful, horrible little creatures. :{
Their hatefulness seems to be confined to each other, which I'm thankful for.
At least they don't treat their friends that way.

I do time-out for the behavior all the time it seems like. I've also tried to
let them know how it makes the other one feel when they're mean to each other,
but that's not working either. I wish I could give them more one-on-one time,
but I don't have the opportunity to do that much. Sorry I'm not much help. I
just wanted to commiserate with you.
