Noticed the unending quarrels of your two boys over almost anything that they cannot agree? When they get tired of viewing the cartoons on TV, and the elder decides to transfer to the home computer to play online games, the younger also wants to use the computer at the same time, one reason for the early morning spats occurring almost everyday. This seems to be the pattern Mom is somehow getting used to, as she tries to ignore the conflicts and just keeps busy with her chores around the house.

Another reason for the fights is the only kids bookcase you have for them to store their kiddy books and kiddy magazines that you have been buying for them regularly. Again, the two cannot get along, especially the younger kid, who is unhappy on just using his portion of the bookcase, and leaving the older brother to use the other end of the bookcase. He wants the bookcase all for himself, and Mom spends so much time trying to convince the two to share the use of the kids' bookcase in the meantime.

The spats though continue throughout the week, that you finally decide with your wife to call up the furniture store to deliver another kids' bookcase right away. You have your credit card anyway to pay for it, even if payday is still a week away. This seems to be one of those emergencies when the house becomes almost like a battlefield with the noise of the fights of the two kids.

When the bookcase is finally delivered, you have peace at last in the house. However, this happened only when the two could agree on who takes the new bookcase and who uses the old one already in the house. This time though, at least the elder agreed to let the younger brother use the new bookcase, and he will just have the old bookcase. 

You discreetly whispered to the elder brother your thanks for his decision to let his younger brother have the use of the new kids' bookcase. You assure him there is no difference at all between the two childrens bookcase.

You oftentimes talk about the kids’ quarrels with your wife when you are about to retire for the night. You assure her that these quarrels are quite normal, and that you experienced the same quarrels with your elder brother before when you were boys too. You wife agrees, as she had also some experience of fighting with her elder sister before when they both were little girls. They also quarreled endlessly, even just on the use of their bookcase for kids before.
