[quote=Anonymous]I have twin girls and one was always more laid back than the other - she'd let her sister have a toy or even take toys from her and would just move on to something else.  She never needed to go first or win or do anything like that.  Now the tables have turned and she uses her sister to do stuff (i.e. go back upstairs to retrieve a pair of shoes, etc.).  I always made sure the one getting the benefit thanked the other (as soon as they could talk) but we otherwise generally haven't interfered.  I did worry about one or the other being taken advantage of but I've also seen both of them stick up for themselves (and for their sister) with each other and with friends so I think it'll all work out in the end.  I only have the twins but most of my friends have two kids and I know the older one can sometimes resent the younger - it sounds here like your older thinks he's getting some "wins" in and therefore might end up liking his sister more.  And since she's not being harmed, I'd leave it alone.[/quote]
