I am a young mother of 5 year old boy and girl twins, Josh and Kylie, and 13 month old Brandon. The problems started when the twins were born. Kylie was born small, and there for she was sick a lot. When she would get sick she cried uncontrolably, My husband and I held her to comfort her. This ment less time we spent with Josh. As she grew, Kylie developed severe seperation anxiety and began to cling to me all the time. When the twins began school, we got them into after school activites, Kylie takes dance, and Josh is involved in sports. At practice, Josh's coach asks for parents to get involved. I tried but because Kylie would not stop clinging, it was nearily impossible. She refuses to stay with a sitter or with any family member. It has gotton worse since Brandon was born. She reverted back to baby like behaviors, thus demanding more of my husbands and my time and attention. Add that with the typical demands of raisng an infant. This has made Josh feel very left out.
