Here we are...Monday morning...a few days before Thanksgiving when we're working on our "thankful" leaves and I'm tired of the constant bickering, bossing, irritating, annoying dynamics. Obviously this isn't new but good grief it sure makes for a less peaceful home. Obviously I'm sure everyone has their own tolerance level for the sibling bickering so what's yours?

With 8 very intense children, I may allow more than other moms. I often just assign chores rather then try to sort it out. Sometimes we practice how to speak to each other and do do-overs. Other times I am just lame and laugh it off saying they must really enjoy it since they do it so much. I'd hate to ruin their good time.

I am the oldest of 10 so I have a pretty high tolerance level for kid stuff. Also the bickering that went on between my husband and his sister is legendary and now as adults they are the best of friends. So that gives me hope.
