Templers Flare
Things are getting ugly around here. Ethan and Luke have learned some different fighting styles. Thankfully the hitting tactic is reserved for REALLY ugly times. It starts with screaming and if that doesn't work then it escalates. The screaming is what has changed. When they get angry we commonly hear "Don't talk to me!!!" Or "I'm going away!!!" or "I'm not your brother anymore!!!!" Doors are being slammed, toys being thrown, harsh words spoken. Yikes. Sometimes I don't interfere. I figure, let them work it out. But, on occasion, I have to step in. Like when the "I'm not your brother anymore" gets thrown out. Or, this hasn't happened as often, when "I hate you" is uttered. That one is not acceptable, I just can't tolerate it. Its completely acceptable to not like someone in the heat of the moment, even REALLY not like them. There were plenty of times I didn't like my sisters. If you ask them they will happily tell you of all the times I pinched them (that was my defense mechanism of choice). But I just can't tolerate the I hate yous or the I'm not your brothers. We are family, darn it, and that just doesn't change....no matter what ugliness we display to each other. Some times I just have to laugh when they fight with each other because I can tell its not about the item they are fighting over but the power struggle. Fun times around the Rasmussen household.....never a dull moment...actually, I could use one of those right now. :)
