[QUOTE="Hound dog, post: 584996, member: 84"] This is somewhat normal......most likely intensified by gfgdom, not you. Believe it or not, I went through this with easy child for years, even after she had her own kids. It wasn't until about 2 yrs ago that she "got it".......I think, I'm not sure that I'll ever really be sure. LOL I think it's a quirk of being the eldest. PCs wasn't over the top, but then she's not a difficult child either. Still, it grated on my nerves and drove me crazy. easy child did NOT get less of anything compared to her sibs, even after they came along. Yes, Travis was a demanding child and sitting still was not something I got to do much of for many years. I incorporated having to always have my eye on him with doing things with the other two, so they actually benefited from it. Nichole wasn't demanding as a difficult child until her teens when the bottom fell out. But we had more in common as far as interests go than I did with the other two. So easy child would say that Travis got all the attention and Nichole is my favorite. Uh, no. I have trouble not laughing when she says that. I don't have favorites. I love each of my kids for the people they are, not one more than the other. But more than once I've had to sit down and explain to her that her younger sibs were getting the same things from me she did at the same ages. Usually because she was older and more responsible, she didn't need that level of mothering anymore. At 12 did she really want to be mothered like a 7 yr old? Know what I mean?? Took her a long time before she could see it that way........I think Brandon was 2. omg It's something that comes with maturity and with having your own children. It's a jealousy that is part of sibling rivalry. Usually worked through by the person themselves as they age. Although some never do. [/QUOTE]
