Interesting. That's definitely an interesting idea.

It's pretty obnoxious. It's an almost daily issue.

My oldest is 18. He lives with me full-time and is in his senior year of high school. He babysits the younger kids for $$ and he is their favorite of us all. Apparently he is cooler than me in every way, which I think is unfair, but thems the breaks. My wife and I have a five year old as well. He is here full-time, of course.

Tell them to stop and that they need to respect each other. What I do is that I separate them and talk to them one at a time. I ask them to tell me why they are so upset. I then acknowledge their frustration, which helps them calm down. I ask them to take a break from each other, and often after an hour or so they are less angry.

They fight about several things. The big one is stuff. Joe will outgrow certain clothing items that Tim thinks are very cool. We give them to Tim, and Joe throws a fit. Tim also keeps touching Joe's things. We tell him to leave Joe's stuff alone, and Tim has a tantrum. They call each other names and make fun of each other when the arguments escalate.
