Fights

Dear Jonah and Audrina,

Well I don't know what to do. When you Audrina were really little your brother was content to have you near and whenever he was near you or talked to you your face would light up. But now Audrina, you have gotten older and you have become more persistent in picking on your brother and you Jonah, have become more persistent on picking on your sister. Maybe ya'll are like all little brothers and sisters, but I've never had a brother so I don't know. Do all little brothers and sisters fight so? If Jonah has a toy Audrina wants it and if Audrina has a toy then Jonah wants it. Even if it's a toy that the other has never played with before. Then ya'll start to pull on the toy and are screaming at each other at the top of your lungs. Who do I give the toy too? I have to be very careful in my choices. When I was little I was the oldest and I remember having to give everything up for my sister. "You're the oldest Naomi, you should know better..." I hated those three words, "You're the oldest..." So who to give the toy too? No matter who I choose I know it's the wrong choice. Jonah will scream if I give it to Audrina and Audrina screams if I give it to Jonah. It has gotten so bad that on some days I have to separate ya'll completely. I'll take Audrina upstairs and Jonah you'll stay with Dad downstairs. It's the only way to keep ya'll from fighting. Audrina you cry if your brother tries to hold my hand. You run over and pull his hair and bite him trying to get him to let go. You want me all to yourself. But just remember my babies that I love ya'll both so dearly and that I try my hardest to please ya'll both and know that no matter what I am TRYING and that no matter what I love ya'll both EQUALLY!!

Love always and forever,
Mommy
