do you go and check on them because you know they are into something.

It depends on what I'm doing. Sometimes it is nice to get a little quiet, no matter what is happening in the other room (of course a room where I am certain they won't be hurt). It is worth the effort of having them clean up or even me picking things up to get a few quiet minutes. So to answer specifically no, at least not right away.

I guess a good parent depending on the age of the kids wouldn't leave them in a room by themselves. If they are old enough to be alone in a room together then no, I don't think you have to check on them. I have three kids ...7, 3 and 2. I haven't had a quiet moment with them in three years. So if they were quiet alone together than either call the paramedics 'cause their all unconscious or its after nine and they're asleep!

It depend on the children and their ages. My daughter is 16 and my son is 2 1/2. If they are in a room together and quiet I enjoy it. If they are fighting it is usually my 2 1/2 yr old boys fault and I jump right in..It isn't her job to raise her brother. If she is babysitting than it is her responsibility.
Now, my little brother is 32 (I have 6) and I am 36 and if we are fighting both of my parents run right in while my spouse stands in the corner watching and waiting for his chance to kill my brother. He is the only one I fight with and I just can't help it, he is so damn phony and self centered and one of the biggest liars I have ever met.
Maybe we do need to be checked up on?

when they were a bit younger, yes I do but not because their fighting but making a mess in that room. We as a parents will always have this notion that our kids will be fighting, just a natural instinct. Try not to let this bothers you, you need to let them solve the problem that it may occur while their together. It's part of being kid and growing up, we always forget that we can't take care of every little thing that they might need. Just let them be themselves,so that way they will learn to solve what ever problem comes to their way...

I have three boys ages 8, 9, and 15. I don't know what quiet is except in the middle of the night and then they snore

Yes you do. You never know when they decide to make the wall in the room their canvass. Or if they got into your make up or what ever. Kids are naturally curious. Always be alert.

No, mine like playing together, too, when they're not fighting :D . I would figure they were playing out some kind of elaborate adventure. Or, if they're with big sis, that they were watching cartoons online or on TV, or that she was playing her part in whatever game they were playing.

I always check on them every now and then, I think that is just part of parenting.

Board the room shut and have it blessed by a priest skilled in exorcisms.
