[QUOTE="DDD, post: 565667, member: 35"] Twelve year old boys are on the cusp of teenage angst. It has been my experience that boys that age (and often girls, too) are very self absorbed and concerned about how they appear to the world. Having a sibling just a few years younger who is behaving in an "embarrassing" way is likely a major stressor. Plus, as we all know, difficult child's are stressful to parents, peers and other adults. I understand your concern but my guess is that you'll just have to orchestrate their times together to the best of your abiity...and, of course, draw a line in the sand that aggression and emotionally abusive behaviors will not be tolerated. Fingers crossed that things improve soon. Hugs DDD [/QUOTE]
