Are there any siblings (reasonably close in age and living in the same place) who don't fight? My closest sister (two years older than me) and I were fighting all the time until we got separate rooms. However, we were very protective of each other when someone outside the family entered the picture.
My older brother once got upset with me while playing football down the road with some neighbors. He threw me down and was sitting on my chest yelling about something or other, who knows.
Next, some kid from up the street put his foot on my head to 'help' hold me down. My brother grabbed his foot and flipped him over, climbed on top of him and started to RAIN BLOWS DOWN ON HIS FACE.
I followed through with a FLYING ELBOW on him and we left him in a HEAP as we walked home. What a great bonding moment.

When I was little (maybe three or four years old), one of the neighbor kids got into a fight with my brother who's a year and a half older than me. The little bar steward bit my brother on the nose. Of course I wasn't going to stand for that and I tore into him!! I was too little to remember much from that, but I do remember that in the process of tearing him a new a-hole I somehow managed to lose one of my fingernails. The only really powerful memory I have of the event was my mom making me soak it in warm water with Epsom salts! Ouch!
I found out later (much later) that the neighbor kid's dad thought that my much older brother (5 years older than me) was the one who dispensed the whooping, and came over demanding that he get a spanking. When he found out that the damage was done by little ol' me, he went back home with his tail between his legs. 😀

Wasn't she angry that you were fighting?

Originally posted by mlpriorhmmm.... you got me! I don't remember all that well. I'm thinking she was more freaked out than angry--with one son with teeth marks on his nose and another missing a fingernail. But maybe she was angry and that's why she made me soak my finger in Epsom salts. I'm not sure. You want me to ask her? 😕

Believe younger brothers usually get the worst of it in the boy/man rites and trials of passage.
A couple of weekends ago, the boys were playing football in the field with some of the neighbor kids. They usually play on opposite teams because they are SUPER competitive, but it just so happens that they ended up on the same team for some reason. Anyway, they came home and reported that they whipped the other team really bad. Turns out they make a good team when they get together....I reinforced this point several times to make sure they got it! "Brothers should always stick together"

Maybe she would have some advise about [b]boys!
They are such little alien creatures who thrive on chaos and noise.
I wonder every day why "poop" and "farts" are such funny subjects and worthy of endless jokes.
