    Default Next-to or Across-from?

    I'm finally ready to get rid of this discusting, tore-up, survived 4 kids and deserves a rest highchair!

    I need to decide weather to set the little ones (15 mo and 30 mo) accross from, where they can look at each other, or next to, where they can touch each other. Hmmmmm, tough choice. Anyone have any experience with the lesser of 2 evils?

    Across- at least that's what we did at our house. It kept the "mom, he's touching me!" to a minimum. We got lots of "mom, he's making faces at me!" though.


    We had far less punching/kicking matches across than we did side/by side too.

    Across!!!! I had to do this with my twins. Other than that they would try to grab at or throw things to each other! UGH!

    I'd put 'em in seperate rooms. If that's not an option I'd put them across from each other, kitty corner & wearing blinders.

    Hope I was a help or at least made you smile.
    Good luck Karen!
