Word World

The last couple of weeks I have heard a lot of tearing down between siblings. Snide little comments made just to hurt.  It saddens me greatly as I would love for my children to grow up and have each other and always be friends.  The one found tearing down another in this house is to think of 3 positive attributes about that person and convey them and apologize.  Not enough to throw out the words nice, kind or funny either.

Last night Timmers said, "Hey can we play that game again?"
Mom "Which game?"
Tim  "The one where we are really mean to each other and then we are really nice three times?"

Just when you think they're not paying attention.

If it makes you feel any better, my sibs and I didn't really get along super well when we were younger (and all living at home). But as we've grown into adulthood, we've become much better friends and actually enjoy socializing with each other. :)

Us too. My three siblings and I used to really go at. If my sister and I fought to much she would make us hug cheek to cheek for 5 minutes. 25 years later we talk almost daily.
