I just came on here to say "bless you" and I'll pray for you. Mine are 26 and 17 so had them far enough apart but I do feel your pain.....if it helps any. IT COULD BE MUCH MUCH WORSE - you could have 3 teenage GIRLS on your hand. Think about THAT one and you will feel "blessed" as you could possibly be. No offense to the girls reading this --- and remember I was a teenage girl myself (therefore I KNOW). But boys ....... I thanked God every day for giving me boys!!!! Hang in there and as you've heard in the past "this too shall pass" and maybe one or two will go hang out w/friends tonight. LOL

Ha ha...there is no way, sorry.
I have 2 teenage boys and they're exactly the same. Just let them fight but know when to step in. One of them will eventually be the strongest and the others will learn when to stop.
I grew up with one brother 18 months younger than me and we argued with each other every day for 21 years. Once I left the house we got on really well and now we're the best of friends.

I had three boys, I think I spent the whole time they were growing up being a referee. Send them to separate corners of the ring, I mean the house. Three separate personalities, egos, wants, needs, etc etc. I just kept telling them over and over how important it is to treat each other with kindness, you know the old saying, "if you don't have anything nice to say".......... That goes for physical altercations also. They really do love and look after each other. They are adults now. Good luck

I have three boys, too. One is older, two are just a year appart. They are teens, they are always jealous of what the other has, or girls, or T.V. or whatever. It's very hard to keep them from fighting/arguing. I think it's just the age/jealousy thing. I mostly try to keep them appart. I don't agree to let them just "duke" it out. What would that solve? When they start to argue, I just get right in the middle and play referee to the best of my ability. Good luck!

Don't worry about it, when they get older, they will be the best of pals.
It's what we guys, do. but remember, you are the alpha female, and you are in charge.
You have to show your dominance with them, for them to obey you. But it may be too late now, being they are teenagers.
So let them be, and they will grow out of it.
Now, your metal state, may suffer, so just grin and bear it, as best you can.

Ya gotta let 'em go at it. It's actually good for them and a bonding experience for them. Send 'em outside if it gets too loud.

Siblings who fight when they're younger prove to have stronger bonds when they're older.
Unfortunately, I can't agree from personal experience.

Take away their guns and knives. Fists won't do much.
