[QUOTE="svengandhi, post: 652104, member: 3493"] This is an issue even with easy child's. My two youngest sons HATE each other and always have. They are both easy child's essentially but I would never leave them home alone until recently. They are now 16 and 18. Although the older one, who is the aggressor, is much larger physically than the younger one, he pretty much confines his abuse to verbal torrents. The last physical fight 18 was in was with Difficult Child, who is 20 and is smaller than my youngest. Difficult Child held his own. H has let 18 know that physical force will result in our calling the police and since he wants to be in the volunteer FD, he controls himself. 18 is extremely glib, witty and verbal and 16 is the kid who thinks of the hysterical retort 10 minutes later, so 16 is often upset. Difficult Child has taken 16's side and goes out of his way to be kind and inclusive to him; however, he's away at college much of the year. Your easy child is so young yet that I wouldn't leave them home alone together at this age. [/QUOTE]
