[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This is interesting to me because I grew up in a big family with lots of siblings, cousins, aunts, and uncles. There were definitely special/closer relationships that popped up between certain pairings in the group. One uncle was closest with the sister who played basketball. One aunt favored the cousin who wanted to shop and talk fashion. One seemed to just like the oldest cousin she’d known longest. Etc. We all just saw it as normal.

So to me, the situation you describe is completely normal and I would not make a big deal out of it with the brother. I would consider it my job to help my kids put it in perspective. [/quote]

But what about family members who go on a trip and bring back a small trinket for only two out of 5 kids? Not because of a special shared interest, just a simple t shirt.

Or give $10 at a holiday for just two kids? And they are not poorer than the others, they have the same or more money and material things.

Talking about special interests and getting along better is different. [/quote]
