I have two daughters in their teenage years there is just over two years between them.. They have fought like cats and dogs since they were little.There was an issue with my oldest daughter and her best friend this summer and they are no longer speaking. Now my youngest daughter is hanging around the ex best friend and my oldest daughter has proclaimed that her sister is no longer a part of her family and she will never speak to her again . This is the last in a long list of issues between them and I am at a loss as to how to make them at least civil to each other if not friendly. Thanks for any help I would appreciate it .

In order to make them get along…you have to make them be
around each other all the time.
Obviously they have each laid down who they are and how
they feel…but people are very resilient.
They will learn to adapt.
The youngest will have less time to hang out with the ex bestfriend, and the oldest will have to learn to love her younger sibling again.
eg. Sign them up for (dance, karate, art) class together.
Sign them up to volunteer together (soup kitchen, hospital, nursing homes).
Make them sit at the dining room table together when they are not busy.
Plan their entire day around each other.
Do not let them back-talk you or smart mouth each other.
Control them if they are not mature enough to control themselves.
I have a lot of siblings.
We had to stand facing each other with our hands on each other’s shoulders for hours if we could not get along.
Our dad would make us go clean the basement or attic together.
We had to learn to get along.

let them be. there hormonal teenage girls livin under one roof its natural for them to fight. tell them that they are family and when they’re older all the stupid immature things they fight about now isnt gonna be important. your youngest daughter is probably hanging around the ex just to tic of the other daughter. tell the older daughter just to ignore her because her reacting like that is just giving the younger one the satisfaction.
Talk to your youngest daughter about how its hurting your older.
First, I would definitely try to get them to talk it out, then try to all do some activities together. It might make them get along more by having fun together!
