Today, my two sons were fighting. I had to shout, "Give me that pillow" - the object over which they were quarrelling - and put them into two separate rooms. My sons are 12 and 15. FML

I feel like this is a normal occurrence in every household.

I didn't have any siblings growing up, so we had to hire somebody for me to fight over pillows with. It was so awkward.

Age is irrelevant, boys will be boys.

Anyone who thinks 'boys will be boys' is acceptable as a reason or excuse or explanation for bad behavior is both perpetuating a bad stereotype and a lazy parent.

#10 also goes by the name "Richie Rich. "

Maybe they just just having an intense pillow fight

Next time let them fight and place bets?

I always thought you fight to the death for a pillow.

Eh, my sister and I have fought over stupid shit too, like mechanical pencils and toothpaste

I'm sorry, but mechanical pencils were awesome

I'm sorry, but "were"? They still are!

They are until you sit down and the little metal tip stabs you in the thigh.

same, my friend and I had a 1 month fight over a led pencil.

They're both at that age where they want to both assert their dominance and be seen as men. That's while you'll find boys 11-20 will very often start fighting over innocuous things. They'll grow out of it, at least they listened to you.

That starts waaaay younger. My almost 6-year-old came home from preschool with a black eye because he fought with his best friend over some toy that they abandoned as soon as the fight was over.

Teenagers fighting over something soft that is used on beds… you might not want to touch that pillow, OP.

I used to fright with my brother over stupid stuff like that all the time. Siblings fight and there's normally nothing you can do about it lol

Should have shouted "Finish him!" Instead.
