My son and DIL have 3 children ages 6,4 and 1. They both come from families with 2 children. Neither of them wanted to have a "middle child" due to the fear of them having "middle child syndrome". Well they decided that 3 was enough, but now they let the middle child do anything that he wants with no discipline nor respect for others including us. The oldest boy is blamed for everything that happens. The baby is the only girl and hasn't started doing things as the older two. It hurts so much to watch this happening and knowing I can't say or do a thing to change it. Any suggestions on how I can cope, would be helpful.
