Children are going to fight. Depending on the ages of your children they might be at the age where they are either becoming their own people and liking different things or they could be at the age where they dont know how to share. http://www.risingchild.com/group/viewdis... this is a discussion on sibling rivalry. Dont worry too much about it - it happens and it will pass.

I have a similar problem. My daughter will be 3 the end of this month and my son will be 2 this Thursday. They are very close and the best of friends...but also love to fight with each other. I work an average of 60 hours a week...so dividing my time is tough. However, what has seemed to work nicely is to try to spend time with them individually. Last night I simply took my daughter to CVS while my son stayed home with my husband and she loved going on a special trip with just me....
