[QUOTE="Kjs, post: 62100"] Your boys are much closer in age than mine. My easy child was 12 when difficult child was born. Having all the issues difficult child has, we seemed to have over looked easy child. They fought unbelievable. Being 12 years older we had to be sure easy child didn't physically hurt him. He threw him off of himself once, causing difficult child to hit the doorknob and couldn't breathe. The ER doctor asked what happened and difficult child said his brother threw him. That caused an issue and easy child was talked to. Not by us! I remember times when I would be outside and difficult child would come flying out of the house...followed by easy child chasing him. Neighbors couldn't believe how they fought. difficult child was always doing something to tick off easy child, and easy child was so much older he really couldn't do much. He took it to a point and then exploded. When easy child went to college, difficult child was 5. It really hit difficult child hard. They have been best friends since. easy child takes difficult child everywhere. difficult child calls easy child almost daily (easy child lives out of town half the week). They are online talking or on the phone. easy child will take difficult child to festivals, concerts, golfing, fishing...everywhere. They talk about everything.(me) When difficult child gets upset he calls his brother. Never would of thought they would become so close. With your kids being close in age, I would just be sure to have the one on one time with each. We failed easy child in that area. Even just a walk alone with each one. Keep their interests seperate from each other so they feel they are special in that area. That is just my opinion. Maybe if they have seperate time with you they will become closer together. Just my opinion. [/QUOTE]
