I woul dsay that you need to find out what their cuuency is.. so that you can use it to your advantage. I had the same issue when my niece live with us for a year. Punnishing them both was what we did as well. They would both nit pick eachother and it would end up causing a lot of unnecessary confusion beyond the normal sibling style issues that are bound to come up. If I have a dollar for every time I would say " the two of you need to_____________! or you are both going to time out/in whatever.... OMG! I am stressing just thinking of those days! The key for me was not letting them break me down in terms of the rules. Once I laid out the rules I really had to manage my own behavior the most. Wha tcan I say, when you are exhausted or just done hearing it you tend to give in and thats not good for curtailing those naughty behaviors. Of course a lot of it has to be ignored but some of it you really have to intervene on. My heart goes out to you. Do you have ear plugs? :0)

" I couldn't see how every sign pointed straight to you and every long lost dream lead me to where you are others who broke my heart they were just northern stars pointing me on my way into your loving arms this much I know is true....That God blessed the broken road and lead me straight to you, I think about the years I spent just passing through, I'd like to take the time I lost and give it back to you but you just smile and take my hand even then you understand that its all part of this grander plan that is coming true and every long lost dream lead me to where you are..."-SELAH
