[quote=Anonymous]Mine are like this too, but a little younger than yours and older DS/younger DD. What bothers me about it is DS can also lavish love and affection on DD, so she’s constantly on edge for what kind of reaction he may have. Also started around the time dd was mobile. DS also has ADHD and anxiety and that plays into it - frustration tolerance is zero, big meltdowns still occur that put everyone on edge. Sometimes I feel very alone about it - family times like movie night, dinner, etc are miserable Bc DD is “annoying” and DS is pouting about it or they’re fighting and running around. I wonder what it would be like to have peaceful, chill family times. Sometimes DD is legitimately provocative and loud and other times she’s just living her life. I will say the biggest difference I’ve seen is when I’m cool and detached and do not make a big deal out of things. We give consequences and stick to them. We try to stay neutral and validate each kids’ feelings. Other than that I just adhere to early bedtimes and hope it gets better in a few years.[/quote]
