@Ed (zoesdad) – I’ve heard that analogy before and it seems to sum it up nicely!

@Jeremy (Discovering Dad) – I am curious where you’ll land on this one. Good luck!

@Kim -Thanks Kim! I’m glad you stopped to comment. I was just wondering how you have been doing today. Glad this gave you something to think about.

@HorseChick – Well, leave it to you to buck the trend :)

@tom – It’s really tough isn’t yet? You can tell your wife she’s welcome. :)

Before he came along I usually sided with my youngest daughter, and I knew perfectly well that it was because I was a youngest too. But now that I have a son whom I see is eerily like a young version of myself, I have less patience for his behavior. But this is excellent food for thought, and something that my wife has tried to make clear to me, with very little success to this point. I must reconsider my position and probably apologize to my wife about a million times. <abbr><em>toms last blog post..<a href="http://being-michaels-daddy.blogspot.com/2008/10/journey-into-michaels-mind.html">A Journey into Michael's Mind</a></abbr></em> I too am a youngest sibling, and tend to side with the older ones now that our four-year-old son is the primary instigator.

The baby has always exploited being "the baby" and still does whenever possible. The older sibling more often than not gets the bad rap from Dad and the baby gets the benefit of the doubt.
