[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The youngest needs to *insist* on a peer relationship with everyone, with siblings once they are all adults.

Op, it may be their journey of understanding this importance and executing it may be getting in your way.

If they have traits of being "the baby" make sure you aren't drawn to this, initially, to dominate or care take. That's not going to work long term - that is not what they really want and they know that's not best for them.[/quote]

Why would having peer relationship be unusual once everyone is adult?[/quote]

It’s normal fur mist but the youngest will always be treated as younger not a peer. It creates an imbalance of power. The baby either retreats or fights which is why many youngest are “loud” talkers.[/quote]

DH is the youngest by about 10 years and I definitely see this dynamic when he is with his family. Older brothers don’t treat him as an adult peer, and he accepts that. He lets them treat him like the kid brother he is, and it’s a little hard to watch.[/quote]
