Sibling Rivalry

As the Imperfect Dad I sometimes compare my upbringing to that of my daughter.  I wonder if there is anything more that Angel needs in life.  I grew up with a lot of brothers and a sister.  One particular brother (Picasso) I lived with my whole life.  Picasso was my younger brother by a year and a half.  Believe it or not I was jealous of him at a young age.  At about 1st or 2nd grade they wanted to put HIM in GT classes.  I thought to myself I'm smarter than him why not me.  But after all I recognize he is more talented than I could ever be.  Anyways this motivated me to do even better at everything.  This sibling rivalry made me a better me.  Since my Angel is an only child I think to myself could she have benefited from having a sibling.  No one really knows but she has the next best thing.  My youngest brother lives with me at least for now.  If anyone asks Angel do you have a brother or sister she says yes Uncle Lobo and Aunt Miley.  They both lived with me in the past year or two.  Aunt Miley is more like an Aunt than a sister which is good, because Angel also has a Cousin Opal whose like the sister.  Opal and Angel are 2 years apart from each other.  This is great because older Opal can teach Angel a lot of things on their own level since she is the older one.  They don't have a rivalry YET, but Uncle LOBO and Angel do!!  I have been raising Lobo since he was 12 years old and now he is 20.  Before Angel arrived he got most of my extra attention.  He got whatever he wanted without any competing sibling.  Now that Angel is here he is not my first priority and he feels that, so when he feels like Angel is getting what she wants he says MAN she's spoiled!  I tell him so what I want to give her whatever I can.  This means less for him, but at this point he should be doing for himself anyways is my way of thinking.  Angel doesn't know that he has this issue with her.  She still calls him brother with no prejudice.  If only Lobo would see this innocence love she has for her "brother" maybe he could not see her as a threat to being the BABY of the Family.
