Fighting Children

Why do kids have to fight over everything???? And I mean, everything. The strangest thing is that Mason and Miles get in the biggest fights over who gets to say the prayer at meal times. Especially the lunch prayer. Almost every morning at breakfast, they start duking it out about who gets to say it at lunch. Sometimes it starts a few days early. "I get to say the lunch prayer on Friday!!!" to which the other will yell, "No! I get to say it!"
They also fight about who Vance belongs to. Miles will say, "He's my baby!" and Mason will yell back,"No, he's my baby!" Actually, I had a little talk with Mason and now will say, "He's our baby!" Sorry to inform you boys, but he is Mommy's baby! :)
At least so far(knock on wood)their fights are verbal and not physical. I'm sure we will get there someday. With three boys it's bound to happen. The funny thing is that Miles usually ends up winning a lot of their battles. He is a brut!

Elaine,

You guys need a prayer chart. That way it's posted and they can see who's turn it is. We've had to do this with dishes and other jobs in our house and it's helped me a ton!
