[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Youngest should just be happy being dragged around to her siblings events/commitments. Any youngest feels this way. I have made sure my older child is dragged along equally to the younger one's activities. I do it just to make a point.[/quote] Tee hee. Me too, and I am not stepmom, just single mom with 2 bio kids. Youngest one grew up in the car seat on the sidelines of some game or class of the oldest's. Now oldest has to come to youngest's games and school events; it's non-negotiable. Siblings support each other. Sometimes it feels like we don't have "family" time, i.e. the three of us together having a good time doing something we all enjoy, but I think that their individual activities are important to their development, so I work harder to find a few fun "family" time things (or not fun, but mandatory anyway....) I think OP may have some rosy view of "family" that doesn't fit with the reality of how it turns out for anyone. [/quote]
