but boy are they different!!!
So Jake is clearly my child. The emotional, intense, reactive one. Parker is way laid back and rational. Clearly, UNlike his mother. Jake explodes and yells at Parker and antagonizes him and is just sometimes not very nice. Yesterday in the pool Jake is shooting his water gun at Parker and Parker repeatedly tells him to stop. Jake does not stop. I wait for Parker to stick up for himself, he doesn't. I TELL Parker to stick up for himself, he doesn't. Jake keeps at it and Parker just keeps saying stop. Finally, I took the water gun away from Jake and told him he's not being very nice and he's not listening either.
Later I asked Parker why he lets Jake treat him that way. Why he won't turn around and make Jake stop. And he shoots back at me, "Because! If I do that then he'll just do it back to me again!! One day, I want to teach my brother some justice."
I'm not really sure what he meant by that, but it was pretty damn funny to hear.
I also told Jake he better hope there's not a kid in kindergarten that treats him the way he treats Parker. Should have seen his face drop.....
