They're drivin' me crazy!

[SueC]

I suppose I should feel sad that my oldest is going off to kindergarten in 10 days, but due to the constant fighting between her and my almost 4 year old, I can't WAIT for school to start. I think they're sick of each other--this summer they've been together 24/7, plus they share a room, toys, and most of their clothes. Yesterday I tried a new technique, everytime they fought I sent them to separate places in the house. They spent 15 minutes in their spot until I released them, in exactly 2 minutes, they were at it again. We spent the rest of the afternoon doing this until a merciful neighbor invited us on a walk. Please tell me this is going to get better when school starts! :argue: :nono: :nono:

I'm sorry Sue! I love that you changed your ticker to kindergarten countdown. The rub will be that the littler one will miss her big sis when she's at school (at least that's what would happen in our world).

Best of luck! We're up ready to be a distraction anytime!

I've been having one of those days, too! But I've been wondering how I can pass off my 19 month old as a kindergartener too and ...... :!

Ebb and flow.....ebb and flow.....ebb and flow.....deep breath.....

Can I join?
Although the stress level has lowered a bit with DH in school.

I hear ya, Sue. I can't wait for school to start, although my kids are only in preschool and MDO. I find when they are bored or if I get on the phone, they fight, start making messes and generally annoy me to death! I have had to pull out some more interesting toys and just get out of the house in order to subside the craziness!
