Constantly. About everything. "He's breathing on me!" I would whine. I remember often being annoyed with my mother because she ignored us. Ha! But, when it was out of control, we would be punished for it - I think more for the sanity of my mother than to make us get along. "One more word and no TV tonight." "One more word and no friends tomorrow." Etc. As to arguing over who brushed their teeth first last night... Make a chart! My brother and I fought over who would get to sit in the middle row of the van (we certainly couldn't sit there together, no way). So my mom gave us days - Mon/Wed/Fri, was for my brother, Tues/Thurs/Sat was for me. Sunday was a day of rest. :) Good luck! :) My brother (5 years younger) and I fought ALL THE TIME. Constantly.
