If you know us DeLoatche's, you know that we're a very, special, family. If you don't know us, hello random person i probably don't know. If you don't know, I've been blessed with an adorable little brother, Charlie. Normally when you have problems with your brother it's about who gets to choose which show to watch on TV, who gets to go out with Dad, who gets to use the computer, you know, the normal stuff. My brother and I have the whole TV problem seeing as he's obsessed with Disney movies, but all the other stuff, not so much. The bigger issue in my family is the fact that Charlie has Down Syndrome, eats through a tube, has a port, has an illeostomy (who knows if I spelled that right), has had his colon removed, has had a j-tube put in and pulled out, and so much more. he has been in the hospital 68 times so far, and the kicker, he's only 6 years old.
So as you can see, if you think it's hard to be an older sibling, rethink your reasons.
Hi, Sophia. I think about you being an older sibling all the time - at least every time I read about your brother when your mom posts to CarePages. I, too, have a younger sibling with lots of... "issues," though not as many nor as severe as your case. It can be very hard to be the other sibling when so much else is going on in your household. (Do you remember me from SHPS? I'm the mom of T.J. and Aidan?)
