Or maybe not
In an earlier post I mentioned that the boys a getting on really well. But it has come to pass that they argue incessantly. It drive us a little crazy at times. I guess that is a true sign of brotherhood. Maybe not..... I want to teach them not to argue, but I feel like that might not be the best thing for them. I hope to find balance soon.

We have found that reminding our kids that they are allowed to disagree, but must treat each other with respect.
We are the only people who truly care about our family compared to the rest of the world - so making our home a place of safety is important to us. The difference between allowing for healthy, balanced disagreement - our kids don't have to be best friends, but respect is manditory.
It has given our home a lot of tranquility and peace and allowed them to get to know each other as people instead of just siblings. I don't think that it's pre-determined that sibling rivalry will happen. I have seen a lot of families where it worked, and this was the best advice I was given from them.
