I try to be the Peacemaker but usually end up as " piggy in the Middle" for my troubles.

As a mother of three daughters and one son , their is usually someone wanting to scratch someones eyes out : (

Good morning ladies:)) Yes I try to be the peacemaker and often come off second best. My daughter and youngest son - both adults - squabble often over silly things. I don't step in anymore because they will both get annoyed with me and tell me to butt out.

Edit - sorry Maria - I hope this is what you wanted.

Thanks all

It is what I wanted

and things are very peaceful and relaxed after a long time of not being so

it's still a little sad I guess,

but it's the right thing

I'm feeling happy and optimistic

I feel sorry for my mum when I remember the fights my sister and I used to have.

I have a vicious temper and my sister was a prize wind up merchant lol.

The combination was shocking lol xx

But............aren't families great...........lol

I must admit my lot have shocked me with their venom towards each other in the past ( and no doubt they will in the future ) .

My brothers used to up-set me from time to time but it was never as nasty as my bunch can be . Perhaps it's a sign of our times ?
