I have had/have 5 children. There always seems to be a disagreement between them and I am left piggy in the middle, anybody else got this, I must admit I am getting sick of it.

My OH is one of 7 although only 6 are about now and there are often spats between one or two of them:) A couple of times there have been long lasting things - I think because they are almost all fairly close there's a lot to be falling out over lol. It does sometimes upset my mother in law but generally things don't last long and we none of us usually get her involved.

How old are your children? I had four children, three boys and one daughter of my own and two stepsons,
The age range was short with all the children born within 8 years. fortunatley they had all known each other since the day they were born. We made sure that they new we would NOT accept bullying or physical fighting and generaly we refused to take sides.

What are they disagreeing about, is it petty or is it serious?
If they are adults tell them to behave like adults, refuse to take sides, be strong so that in a case of reall need you will be ale to cope.

Send me a reply either here so that others may be able to help or send direct to my name

Have a bath, relax, they will all be OK

I'm one of 4 and my mum actually enjoys it when there are spats going on between us. My youngest brother and I never argue but my sister and I are always disagreeing about something and mum stirs it up:-))
