Is this common amongst families?
This could be my middle child syndrome speaking (or whining) here, but I swear my parents are coddling my youngest brother.
He's eight and a half years old (the age difference between him and my other younger brother is 9 years) and he still acts like a baby. I seriously don't recal l my parents coddling me like that.
He doesn't get breakfast for himself, when he can't find anything for school he stands there and cries while my mum scrambles around the house yelling at us to help her look for it. In the rare times when both my parents aren't home in the mornings he usually wanders aimlessly not doing anything to get ready for school.
I remember the other day when we could find his recorder for his first day of music they were scrambling about debating whether or not they should buy him a new one. I was trying to tell them it wasn't the end of the world, that he could just deal with it and when he comes home he could look for it. But no, he had to have it for his first day.
Is this normal, or is it just a case of petty sibling jealousy?
