Some days, I wonder why they are such loggerheads with each other. They get on each other’s nerves and ARGUEeeee.

Sometimes, I wonder what they gain from winning in an argument and seeing the other one pissed off. 

These are moments when ear plug doesn’t help *sigh*.

Just when it is absolutely getting on my nerves, I found comfort in these words.

“My boys quarrel all the time. They never get along or have any friendly exchanges at all,” a friend commented.

Aha! That means our boys are not that bad after all. True. They are in argument 50% of the time, 30% sleeping but at least 20% of the time in HARMONY.

I am so hoping that the 50% would reduce to 40% and less and less. Maybe, my dream would come true soon. At least, if our preteen matures soon. Perhaps, that’s why they are called KIDS. Sibling rivalry is unavoidable.  If I had a sibling before, perhaps I would better understand.

One thing I know for sure. They do not HATE each other. These moments tell it all….

 I have always loved this song “He Ain’t Heavy. He Is My Brother”.

Now. This song is especially MEANINGFUL.

Special dedication to our boys, Papa Ed and Bro Eddie.

Extracted from lyrics
So on we go
His welfare is of my concern
No burden is he to bear
We’ll get there
For I know
He would not encumber me

If I’m laden at all
I’m laden with sadness
That everyone’s heart
Isn’t filled with the gladness
Of love for one another.

I hope this meaning would go a long way for our boys.
