I have a sibling, that when we are kids, ALWAYS teased or put me down.
What is the difference?
The malice, intended or the control or just the plain mean-ness.
Regardless, I HATED being around this sibling.
She was NOXIOUS.
It is very.... OPPRESSIVE being around a sibling like that.
REALLY.
You need to stop it.
Or it will be a VERY bad habit. It is already.
Your Eldest has to learn OTHER ways, of interacting... by NOT putting people down.
And well, sometimes the Eldest child... simply CANNOT get used to, having a younger sibling.
That eldest sibling of mine, actually told me once we became adults (and she still was treating me that way), she said she was just always jealous of me and RESENTED me and my presence in the family because now, she was not... the only "great" kid around.
AND yes, it ALSO INTERFERED in her friendships... because she treated friends, the same way. So controlling and always having to top everyone and being... first sort of thing.
Really, NOXIOUS.
Siblings, should have each other's back.
And be, a family.
I actually hated that sibling of mine... as adults now, well, she mellowed out. But it was not... easy, for me.
She was like a hammer on a nail.
Really, unpleasant.
And for NO reason.
