[QUOTE="svengandhi, post: 649058, member: 3493"] My H doesn't intervene, either, until it gets physical. My 15 and 18 year olds hate each other and always have. It's 18's problem, he never got over not being the youngest, even though he's the 4th kid and he is verbally abusive to babyboy. 18 is verbally gifted, he could be a standup comedian, but he turns his wit into teasing babyboy. Babyboy has a great sense of humor but he's not as quick on the draw as 18. It recently got so bad that 18's FRIENDS called him out on it and H grounded 18 from going out to dinner with the friends. The other kids left, then difficult child (who was home from college and often mediates) called and said they were coming back to get babyboy to take him out for dinner instead of 18. Things improved a little after that, but still. We used to tell 18 to wait for the day that babyboy would be bigger than him, but I don't think that day will be coming. 18 is built like Refrigerator Perry and babyboy is 5'7" and 140 lbs. I feel for you with a H that is essentially passive and doesn't take charge because I have one of those, as well. [/QUOTE]
