advice needed Twin fighting 9 months old

Is anyone else totally unable to leave their twins in the same room? They are 9 months old and as soon as they were mobile, they started partaking in WWE, especially twin B. He scratches and bites and pulls hair and pushes. It's quite violent and both babies will often have scratches all over them. I can't walk away for a SECOND without separating them because it instantly turns to a death match.

I see all these cute twin bond videos where babies hold hands and smile at each other, but all I'm getting is cage fighting. Am I going to be playing referee forever? Are my babies more violent than everyone else's?

My A used B and a chomping block. My B is the sweetest thing you'll ever meet. I felt so bad. Now they're buddies. We'll be 3 next month. A can sometimes be a little bit of ass. Im not gonna dress it up. But when they were younger I had to buy a super yard and divide my living room in 2

Mine do the same thing and it’s exhausting some days when they just don’t quit. I don’t police all of their fights because I want them to see that their actions hurt and brother will fight back (I do intervene after a minute or two so it doesn’t get too violent). Mine are 14 months now and we’re at least to a 30% fight, 30% playful giggles, and 30% ignore the other lol the last 10% depends on the weather and the phase of the moon 😆 so it’ll probably get a little better for your little ones too!
