The resolution on this note that I found is really bad, but I still had to share. It was written by my eldest, in heavy red colored pencil in obvious "I'm really mad" handwriting. It is a tally sheet of sorts. It reads: "Times you've gotten me in trouble by being trouble...III".Ah yes, sibling fighting is in full-swing in the Grant home. Now I know that for some, this is something that is dealt with almost from day one....and for you, I can sense your joy over my having to finally deal with it. My girls just haven't given me much trouble....there has always been a spat or two to deal with, but nothing that involved high passion or emotion...nothing that involved turning red, screaming and shaking....nothing that ever--EVER--seemed to involved that two-syllable word that we all fear surfacing in our daughters: hormones.
Yes, if I am honest, this is less about fighting sisters and more about estrogen overload. Now, I may be wrong....oh please, let me be wrong....but I think that I have come into a new era with my eldest. *sigh*
You can pray for me. And for all of us...as this seems to be something that I will be managing in my home with my girls up until the point that I deal with menopause.
My husband wants to know if anyone will put him up for awhile? :)

God bless you! And you have two girls to get through it. Looks like Steve has about 20-30 yrs of female hormones to get through. My poor dad had me going through puberty when my mom was going through menopause (and she went through a horrible change). I'm surprised we all survived it!
Well, then, he sure doesn't want to come over here - more of the same w/3 girls!
We can hold each other's hands and pray each other through this! It'll be OK - you're an awesome mom and you (and the girls) will be just fine!
