[QUOTE="Andy, post: 154079, member: 5096"] Our kids are very close in age. I often wonder why a boy and girl 6 years apart in age can not leave each other alone. Part of our difficult child's problem is how easy child treated him as she was growing up. difficult child just adores her and though she is the best babysitter ever for any other kid, you can not have her watch difficult child. I think she was a spoiled brat and all my attempts to have her accept a new kid in the house didn't work. Since everything wrong in her world is my fault, having a brother is also part of what is wrong in her world. Her world would be perfect without him in it - the thoughts of a diva. Now difficult child has decided he has had enough of her insults and is trying everything possible to get her kicked out of the house by pushing her buttons so that she will explode at him. Then of course, we are suppose to get mad at her and tell her to leave - the thoughts of a boy. We also tried the stay home while she is in her room, however, difficult child still felt he was home alone and could not handle it. It is hard having a babysitter in the house who can not babysit the one person you need her to watch once in awhile. I totally feel your frustration. (p.s., I think there is the word "not" missing in Timer Lady's last sentence) [/QUOTE]
