[QUOTE="helpangel, post: 270149, member: 7170"] Even though all of my kids are difficult child's I deal with something similar to this, Angel being so high maintenance that the other kids developed a resentment against her and me both. In their eyes the whole world in our house revolves around "princess Angel" and I give her too much attention. In my eyes this is true I give her too much attention, I give all my kids too much attention! I have allowed my children to consume my entire existence. (haven't dated in 5+ years, haven't worked outside home since 2001). What I think might help is if you can find a sibling group or workshop for your easy child. We were lucky in the sense that the clinic where the psychiatrist is they have support group that meets and while the parents are in their group the kids all meet in another group. I've seen my girls both grow tremendously since we started the group they get to talk to other kids who have sibling issues and Angel gets to hear from other kids siblings how it feels to live with someone high maintenance. She has started to have more understanding about the need for the 12yo to have her own space and property rights. Sorry I have to cut this post short because I'm late picking up 12yo for her doctor appointment. (I meant to just read and not post) but this one hit so close to home I had to comment. It is a fine tuned juggling act trying to give every one a fair amount of attention. I look forward to what the others post hoping I can get more ammo for my situation LOL. [/QUOTE]
