[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I had a sibling that took up my parent's attention too - constant psychiatry and medical appointments, problems at school etc. I recognize then and now that they were doing the best they could to ensure that sibling had a good start at life.

But as the child who didn't make waves and excelled at school, it pretty much sucked to be overlooked, not taken into consideration as much, asked to do chores I knew they wouldn't offer to the 'mentally unstable' one etc.

Its unfair. Your child recognizes that and it sounds like you're not listening to their concerns.[/quote]

Same. I was the oldest too. I was easy going, did well at school and helped with chores. Siblings had to do NOTHING and it hurt so badly.

OP you need a chore chart and to make sure things are divided fairly. An 8 and a 9 year old should have the same chores as they're so similar in ages. Every week, take one kid out and do an activity with only them, and rotate whose turn it is. Also, give your DH a big kick in the ass. [/quote]
