[QUOTE="svengandhi, post: 600342, member: 3493"] Well, even one week at sleep away camp might be a good thing. You can see how things look next spring. I can't believe football starts so early for such young kids. Our HS team starts mid-August. Maybe you can make a schedule with your older son rather than just let each day play out. For instance, we go bowling on Monday, Wed and Fri, to the pool on Tuesday and Thursday, mini-golf, etc. Build specific time for him and easy child to hang out together in to it. If he knows what will go on each day, it might make it easier. It's kind of like when they're in school, they know what will happen at whatever time. It gives kids some sense of security. I do agree that this is probably about the older boy being able to push the younger one around. I doubt it's being done on a conscious level. When easy child used to torture babyboy, we would tell him to be careful because babyboy was going to get bigger and one day, he'd put easy child's butt through the wall. Seriously, though, easy child's baby name was "Baby Huey" because he was so big and sturdy so it's not likely that babyboy will be as big as him, though maybe he'll be taller. Ironically, easy child's best friend amongst his siblings is oldest boy, who is not quite 6 years older. Oldest boy is mildly Aspie, so he is pretty immature. Even at almost 23, he is still young for his age. In fact, I think he just lost his job to easy child... but he doesn't seem to mind, I guess because he'll get it back when school starts again. Can easy child spend some time overnights with the grandparents? How about difficult child? I feel for you. I'm stressed enough about what goes on in my house and I'm in the city at work all day! I'd seriously consider just running away if I had to be home 24/7. [/QUOTE]
