[quote=Anonymous]I have 3 kids (DD8, DD6 and DS3). The older girls are annoyed often with their little brother so we limit the time that  we let them hangout alone doing what the boy wants to 1 hour Sat morning and 2 hours Sun morning. After that, we do activities for the older girls or we stay at home, but older girls play together, draw, watch movies without little brother interrupting them.

I think your DD1 needs to see that you value what makes her upset and do not always excuse her little sister. DD2 should not be bothering her older sister, she should not be allowed to go through her things, etc. Sit down with your older DD and ask what would make her happy and make sure to put more effort into those things.
Also, make sure you make a big deal about the time you spend together. We call it “special time” and all kids get it with one of us.

Finally, numbers are low now. If you really don’t want to risk exposing your you get girl, you need to divide and conquer a little more.[/quote]
