[QUOTE="OpenWindow, post: 37116, member: 45"] easy child#1 used to be protective of difficult child and would stand up for difficult child when he got in trouble, especially at school. Now he doesn't want to have anything to do with difficult child. That is especially hard because they are just 1 year apart and in our neighborhood the 5th and 6th graders hang out together. easy child also knows how to push difficult child's buttons, which make things even worse. easy child#2 and difficult child actually spend more time together, and it's a love/hate relationship. Luckily, easy child can stand up for herself when difficult child is being rotten. I'm sure it is having a negative affect on her, but she seems to accept difficult child for who he is whereas easy child#1 keeps expecting him to be "normal" and gets really frustrated when he's not.
