My daughter's name is Lily! I understand your dilemma as I face that too, I sometimes have to seperate them for a while to let things calm down and thenthey play ok together again. It'll be interesting as I'm adding mr 7 to homeschool, I've homeschooled lily going on three years now.
Wishing you some rest and peace, SusanNC
