re: My kids fight all the time. Am I overreacting?

Put them in yard and tell them they can't stop til somebody draws blood. Or, ya know, beat them yourself.
Not saying its not normal sibling behavior, but that doesn't mean you need to put up with it every day all evening.
My grandma liked to make us go pick our own switch.

The fighting often starts in the car. My son gets bored and starts purposely trying to aggravate anyone who will take the bait.

Brothers and Sisters are natural enemies.
Like the Scots and English
Or the Scots and Irish
Or Scots and other Scots.
Those damn Scots, they ruined Scotland.

Seriously either he's not doing anything to stop it from happening or the kid isn't listening to him. Either way it's his fault.

You are the parent. It is your responsibilty to control their behavior.
Posted on 2/8/23 at 5:49 pm to Eli Goldfinger
Honestly, this would drive me crazy. If you want to stop a behavior in your children, you have to model how you expect them to act and also make life very uncomfortable for them if they act like uncivilized animals.
If you are "miserable" and are starting to "detest" being around them together, you and your wife need to lay down the law. Like this weekend.
If the 10 year old has a phone/device, take that thing away. Make her bedtime much earlier and tell her that she must be very tired all of the time to respond to him that way.
The 7 year old is being a typical annoying little brother, but your daughter has the power to nip it by ignoring him. Praise/reward her when she does.
Kids do not get to rule the house.

Normal kid behavior and it gets even more fun when they are teenagers.

They need five days in a dark room

Your son is a shithead and your daughter isn't socially ept enough to roll her eyes and ignore him. You are soft, also.

Ignore all these assholes, it’s normal. It will be over in 3-4 years. These mfers obviously haven’t had kids in last decade, you aren’t allowed to beat them into submission anymore

I have 3 teen boys. Oldest are twins and youngest is 3 years younger.
Youngest has decided one twin is the enemy and they both antagonize each other.
When it builds up, we shut that shite down. Period.

I'm struggling to understand how your kids academic accomplishments has anything to do with sibling conflict or restricting unwanted behaviors.

I'm old and from a large family, so we were kind of "free range" children. My oldest brother, of course, was the initial alpha dog. I'm less than two years younger. By the time I was 5 or 6, I was the same size or bigger than him.
We had some vicious fights over the years. He was older, more coordinated, and unmerciful. I learned to use my size to my advantage, improved my ground game, and become more ruthless. I ended up in the ER with a suspected broken jaw in 9th grade. But before my parents got home, I punched him so many times in the balls that ~47 years later, I'm still amazed he was able to have children.
The fights stopped (mostly) when he left for college and I was still getting bigger. Or his nuts still hurt.

My sister and I never fought, why? Because my dad was a drill sergeant, make them fear you. They will either hide or combine forces.
You’re welcome.

Idk my older brother and I are a year apart and had huge brawls.
But we never fist fought our younger brother because he was 7 years younger and we were out of the house by the time he would have been big enough to not feel bad beating the shite out of.
One thing about the father is true though. Our worst fights were when my dad was not home.
