[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The family with the youngest/neediest children should get a larger room, even over the grandparents.

Oldest child and grandma need to stop ganging up on the youngest child. (You know this isn’t the first time they got annoyed by him insisting on getting his basic needs meet)

[b]Be prepared for the youngest child to start prioritizes his and his family’s needs over the ingrained and inequitable hierarchy in your family. [/b]

And this is it right here. This is how resentments among family members begin and grow. That OP's youngest brother and his family are not treated as equals; their frustration and resentment will only build over the years. How can it not?

In 5, 10 or whatever years this youngest child/sibling will start not attending family events as he sees that he, his wife and kids are not given the same considerations that his siblings and their families are. Or his wife will very understandably hit her limit as she has experienced this treatment for so long. She may very well put her foot down that she and her children will not attend whatever-the-next-family-gathering may be. She will not be wrong to do so. It does not suddenly come to this but builds year after year and slight after slight and OP's family is sadly on their way.[/quote]
