[QUOTE="Fran, post: 491254, member: 3"] Family and siblings are complicated. It's hard to not be protective of the most vulnerable child and it's hard to accept that siblings don't always want a difficult child sibling. All I ask of my son's is that they be polite. difficult child adores his younger brother but is an overwhelming personality. easy child keeps a distance. He stills remembers the adolescent he** years of 11 through 15. I ask that he get past it but easy child will do what he will do. On the other hand, easy child can not expect me to throw away a child regardless of behavior done in the past. He is my child just as easy child is. I try to have easy child on his own with us before difficult child gets here so that easy child doesn't always feel he is second in attention. I would just prepare difficult child of what to expect and what you expect him to do when things are too much. Give him the choice of a safe place or to come into the kitchen with you when he is getting aggitated. Have your holiday. See your grandchildren. Don't let difficult child behavior overshadow what you want for the holidays or negative behavior wins. Do what you want and if easy child/difficult child starts to focus on difficult child, then intervene. She can stop her aggravation, go into another room or head home. You shouldn't have to be stressed when you should be able to enjoy the kids. [/QUOTE]
