3 year old twins that fight every minute i'm losing my mind! how can i make this smakdown end??
I DON'T KNOW WHAT TO DO!
Answers:
I know you said that their twins, but stop buying them everything
the same let them choose what cups they want. Choose something with different characters. People that buy the same things makes it hard for the kids to choose . If their boys there's
' plenty's of boy characters and if their girls then buy different
dolls. And hopefully that will stop the fighting. Unless they start
with thats mine again, then thats when you say that yours and
that he's/she (only if it's cups, spoon, bowl, plate) other wise
try sharing with each other toys.

okay so my friend has 4 year old twin girls and the only way to stop the constant fighting is she taught them each how to recognize their names and she wrote their names on the stuff so they couldn't fight over it. other then that you have to try and keep them entertained so they dont have the time to fight.
Don't have them in the same room at the same time for certain things. Spank them and put them in the corner. I heard that is normal for twins at that age. Try buying things in different colors. Let them choose the colors.Write their name or favorite shape on the bottom of the juice cups.
Even twins need some individuality.
My boys are close in age, I had to do this too. It kept the peacein that area.But choose your battles!! They never really stop! Be patient...
When they fight over something, take it away and don't let either one of them have it. Send them to a corner for every minute of their age. Set an egg timer and if they move before timer goes off, back to the corner they go for another 3 minutes. After a few times when they start to fight ask them if they need "Corner time", and they should get the point. i believe you answered your own quest.---smackdown time,,,,tough love,,the only way they will learn !!!!!!! sorry, but someone has to do it ???? good luck....
Goodness I feel for you! When they start fighting over something,calmly step in take what ever it is away ,if you know for a fact which one was the aggressor take the item from that child but not the other.If they are both going at it the take it away from them both.You're going to need a set of ear plugs to protect yourself from the high pitched screaming,but it will only take a few times of you taking away and sticking to it for them to realize you're serious! Also you could try giving them different cups and different colors.Sometimes twins don't want everything "just alike" I wish you good luck!

After the time out they will be quite and give you hugs.
As for the drinks always buy two of the same cups for them and fill it to the same amount. It doesn't take extra time.
Remember they need and want discipline.
My kids are 2 and 4.
My kid did the same I was at the end of my rope so i let them beat each other and when it was over they comforted each other and never hit each other again that i know of...they are now 20-21. My lil ones are 4 years apart and still act that way, so I seperate them alot and they cry for each other. But I have to do it, it works for awhile, other times I have to sit with them (very important) to teach them to get along. Don't just leave them alone to learn to fight, sit with them and stop the fighting before it begins.
Please tell us that you are not wanting any more children!
Keep them entertained separately...
