[QUOTE="DammitJanet, post: 15047, member: 1514"] There have been times when Cory has claimed that he was the nonfavored child. That we loved Jamie in particular more than him or that we treated Billy better. He has always felt that we were harder on him which was probably true because we had to be. I cant tell you how many times we have told him that we would have been just as hard on the others if they had brought the cops to our door too! He doesnt have a problem with the Jamies girlfriend probably because he has a girlfriend. He used to hate Jamies wife but the feeling was mutual. They were too close in age I think (and diagnosis). He does feel very competitive for his fathers approval with the other boys. He wont admit it and his father wont see it...but Jamie and I can see it. Fran has a good point about asking him if he is acting in a way that engenders the reactions he wants from people. If you want friends you must first be a friend. You must treat others with respect if you want them to treat you with respect. Ahhhh...these kids will be the death of us. [/QUOTE]
