[QUOTE="DammitJanet, post: 391950, member: 1514"] Tedo...my youngest two arent twins but they are exactly 2 years and 13 days apart and quite close. They did everything together. While I tried to parent somewhat the same, I couldnt do things exactly the same for each kid. Jamie got so jealous when Cory had to be sent off to a wilderness camp that he acted up like you wouldnt believe. Cory behaved like an angel leaving us and Jamie was the devil child himself...lol. Here we were sending off Cory for out of control behavior to a place where we didnt know when he would come home, and Jamie is throwing a tea total fit. We were astounded. Well when we thought about it...it made perfect sense. To him, it seemed that Cory was getting rewarded by going to "camp" by behaving badly. (My boys love outdoorsy stuff) It took Jamie about a month or so to get back to his normal self. By then he figured out he wouldnt want to be gone from home that long...lol. Those two could fight between them so badly. One could push the others buttons like no one else. I could never get Cory to realize that Jamie was deliberately making him mad to get him in trouble. Then he would stand there like..what? who me? what did I do? by the way...they adore each other now. LOL. [/QUOTE]
