My kids are very close in age. 2 boys (8&6yrs old) and twin girls that are almost 4. All of them favor one twin over the other and it drives me crazy! Any advice on how to turn this around? Thank you!

I feel ya!



Great thread!! Same issues in our home. I feel so sorry for #3 in our family.(they have names- I dont call them numbers I promise haha) She is always being left out. I am the one usually doing things with her (boys 9,7 and younger sister 9mnths) She so much adores her brothers and constantly asking them to let her play with them and unless I give the "you better play with your sister look" then they wont.They also have no problems sitting and playing with the baby. Wonder if there is a such thing as middle sibling syndrome??? Look forward to seeing the responses too seems like a few of us need them.

Wow! I can't tell you how closely this relates to my life! I have 2 boys (6&4yrs old) and twin girls that are a year! My boys tend to favor one twin, but as of right now I haven't seen it as a problem because the other has always been kind of a loner. I never thought that it would be a problem later on. I look forward to hearing responses too!
