[QUOTE="BusynMember, post: 542270, member: 1550"] Suzir, honestly, I think a lot of this is sibling rivalry and family discourse, which in my opinion is pretty normal. It is also very annoying. And trust me two PCs can rattle each other's cages REALLY well too, and jealousy can rein supreme if one is more attractive or smarter or more popular...ugh. Maybe if easy child could just talk with you and learn to say "I am not my brother. Talk to him about it" it would make the other kids bored and stop them from bothering him. Obviously, they are trying to get a rise out of him. If he can learn to stay calm and matter-of-fact it could perhaps lessen the talk of difficult child. In the end, you know what would work best for your easy child. There are many types of age sixteen. My oldest daughter was a bunch of bottled up emotions at sixteen and could have easily been provoked into an angry response. My youngest daughter is easygoing and probably would say something so boring that nobody would ever bring it up again. Sixteen is a very hard age and you are doing the best you can. There is no one way to handle this. in my opinion when they are adults, a lot of this stuff will just go away, but it's so hard while you are going through it. Lots of huggles to you and your boys!!!
