...Scary-WHY? Help? She is 17 and going to be a Junior in H.S, He is 12 and going into the 7th Grade. They have an older brother 19 that doesn't live with us anymore because he failed to follow the rules, graduate and took up a drug habit. I would think after watching the struggle I have been through with him and Doing my best to protect them from the drama along with Working MY butt off, not having a social life so that I can spend Quality time with them, I don't drink, I don't smoke and my door doesn't revolve with ANY Men or Women for that matter...YET, they argue from the Minute they wake up until the minute they go to sleep and usually only get alone when they are in separate rooms...I am ready to scream- No I have been screaming, talking to, grounding..I don't use Corporal Punishment, but Behavioral Boot camp is Looking real good to me right now.

Siblings always argue. I'm fourteen and argue/fight with my 17 and 12 year old brothers all the time. Also their is a significant age gap between your daughter and son so arguments should be brought on often, and you have a girl vs. a boy now that's asking for trouble. It's normal, so no need to freak out

They argue because they is a big age gap, I have a friend who is 17 and has a little brother who is 12 they argue all the time but they love each other really, it's because of the age gap so their opinion will be very different to each other. But don't worry they do love each other and look after each other.
