[QUOTE="DammitJanet, post: 56467, member: 1514"] Well Im chiming in late here but I think you did the right thing too. My mom did her best to make my boys feel different from each other. She basically succeeded. My oldest boy is a half sib to the younger two. I left his father when he was less than a year old. She always wanted to "take" that child from me. Now the other two she couldnt have cared less about. She always referred to the younger two as "My" (Janets) kids and the oldest as "her" (my moms) kid. Now no one else did this. I certainly didnt. I said I had three kids. After I had my oldest son my mom didnt even claim ME! My mom would do special things just for my oldest like take him places and buy him things. She would take him to water parks, miniature golfing, buy him toys and computers. She would buy the younger two a set of match box cars. It was so obvious the favoritism. It not only effected the younger two badly but the older one became used to this treatment and thought he should be treated this way. I still have problems with this. I still have lingering problems of him thinking he is better than other people. Thank you mom! [/QUOTE]
