[QUOTE="donna723, post: 487767, member: 1883"] It really sounds like Hailie demands and gets 90% of the attention and poor little ol' Mikey just gets whatever is left! My kids were five years apart, my daughter being the oldest. Everything was fine when he was a baby but when they were about 9 and 4, my daughter went through a horribly bossy stage and really gave my son a hard time, everything from teasing, verbally lambasting him, and even shoving him around when she thought I wasn't looking. He was the perpetual victim and she always won. I sat down with him one day and reminded him that he wouldn't always be smaller than his sister. Told him that boys are usually taller than girls and that one day he would pass her up and be a lot bigger than she was ... and he started grinning, envisioning the day he would be big enough to beat the snot out of his sister! It had never occurred to him before that one day he would be bigger than she was! And luckily, by the time he did grow taller than she was, she had stopped picking on him and decided that he wasn't so bad after all. And lucky for her too because he's 6'5" now! [/QUOTE]
