Yes, I agree that the problem stems from the mother, although the responsibility for taking care of siblings is only part of the story. Overall personality plays a much larger part, imo, but then, personality can largely be tied back to the parents, anyway, so the result is the same :) I guess, in the end, the disclaimer "results may vary" applies. | |

If anything, I think your wife/SIL's problem stems to their mother - the person who ultimately foisted off parenting of one child to another. My daughter is not responsible for any part of her brother's care - that's my job as his mother. She's offered to babysit if I'd like a 'date night' with my husband, but other than that she has 0 responsibility to his care, as it should be (common sense things aside - if she sees him open the front door, etc while I'm making dinner). | |
