[QUOTE="firehorsewoman, post: 541107"] Similar situation here. My difficult child says that if he were an only child he would behave better. He says that if easy child just wouldn't "irritate him" he would behave better and feel happy all the time. I remind him that ALL people irritate him and that no one is happy all of the time. easy child bears the brunt of his blaming others "thing" for sure. difficult child says that easy child NEVER gets into trouble and is favored by all the adults in his life, etc....She is the main focus of his complaints and always has been. He was very verbal from an extremely young age. I would hear him babbling in his crib at 8-12 months saying, "No, _____!" (his version of easy child's name) Even then I thought it was unusual for some of his first baby words to be telling his sister NO especially when she wasn't even in the same room as he was!!!! He is so needy and demanding of attention and she bears the brunt of that too. Many meltdowns have started on the occasions that easy child wants to end a game before difficult child, if she is winning a game, if she refuses to play with him, etc. easy child is a very easy-going girl who loves to entertain and occupy her difficult child brother....but his demands and needs are so extreme that it is impossible to meet them.
