You know, I remembered this after I hit the send button . . .

 My oldest, a boy, is 13; my daughter, the middle one, is 10; and 
the "baby", my boy, is 6.

It's not so much the activities than just being in the same confined 
space together, be it the living room or the van.


> Do you favor one child (subconsiously)?

Well, I try to think that I don't consciously favor one over the 
other but I know I probably do: my youngest. And probably because I 
know he's my last.  His personality is also overwhelming.  He's a 
born politician; I can see him being class president, captian of the 
football team, valedictorian, yada, yada, yada.  SOOO different than 
the other two, and perhaps they see it too.  But he's also the 
instigator.  He LOVES to tease his sister, or egging his older 
brother on.  He has always wanted to be like them; wanting to do 
homework and projects when they had to.
But they just think he's a pain in the neck (I'll keep this G rated).
The older two just don't want him around.

Do your children just hate eachother? 

Well, hopefully, they are too young to truly hate each other.  And I 
hope that that does not happen.

Yes, us poor parents.  I think that's why they invented room and 
board at college . . .
