i got 3 boys 22 19 and 17...they still have a good old fight now and then...not so much my 22 year old...but the other 2 are ruthless sometimes and it's always me who has to pry them apart...they will grow out of it as they grow...they wont always hate each other...siblings will wish each other dead more than once....you just have to tell them both that it's not going to be tolerated under your roof an if they dont quit then you'll do something about...your the boss....nip it in the bud...teenagers are hard to deal with...you just have to show them who has the upper hand in your household....

I am one of four children and when we all lived under the same roof it was a nightmare we hated each other. We called each other names had physical fights anything you can possibly imagine. However now we all live apart we all get on really well. The reason they are fighting is because they see each other all the time they have nothing to talk about they know everything about each other. Its almost like a cabin fever effect. I think it will all turn out ok though. Why not encourage them to take up a sport or a hobby a different one for both of them. Then they will spend some time apart and will have something to talk about and be interested in. Maybe football and rugby or something just something where they can burn off all the extra energy and actually enjoy some time apart.

This is normal family life im the eldest only girl in our family and i used to fist fight with my brothers we hated each other when we were growing up but now we are all older 29, 28, 23 we get on brilliant and are there for each other no matter what. I have 3 children 12 , 10 , 3 and they all fight like mad especialy the eldest 2 i just leave them to it, they will grow out of it and as you have said you 2 eldest dont do it any more this is because they are more mature and respectful for each other and this will happen with your youngest 2.

Please don't worry about this......I have 4 brothers...I am 30 and they are..26,22,15,10..
The 2 elder are best mates the 2 younger can't look at each other without argueing...
They have stand up fights, call each other the worse names ever I coudlnt even type them in cos it would just be a mass of **********************************************
Anyway, the reason i say dont worry is because the 2 elder ones where exactly the same when they where younger now they are inseperable, It must just be a growing up thing lads go through....I think they'll come out of it!
Might take time though, so just hang in there!

Try some team building exercises, either buy a book or better still take them on an Outward Bound Day Trip where they will have to work together to achieve a goal. This eliminates the element of competition. Being in a new environment, they might pull together for safety, too.

don't worry about it, the more u ignore them the less they will do it, i hope! set some time to spend with them separately, doing something they enjoy. they should be happier cos they get 2 have fun aswell as spending time with u. they wont admit it probably but they would love to be alone with u, and they might fight because they r jealous of eachothers relationship wit u. im 21 and my sister is 36, we love eachother dearly but we still have proper fights, and u should hear our language, its not nice lol. but we have had huge fights just cos were jealous of eachother and thinkin our mum loves the other one best. good luck i hope u can sort it, but in the meantime just put some earphones on and put your feet up with a cuppa xxx

22,and 23...out of the house time;well really past due for them to get out and see the world...they like to fight;let them join the service and learn a trade...15, and 13..need tojoin a boxing club and settle it in the ring...maybe after a few rounds with someone who is not related and they beat the crap out of them they will understand the importance of family...sibling rivally is one thing but fighting within your family...wrong

They are brothers there is going to be some rivalry, the older two outgrew it, chances are the younger two will as well. There is family counselling if you think that will help.
