Must. Whine. Now.

Like many older siblings, Erik has a tendency to try to parent Adin.  He will reiterate what we tell Adin to do, or take it upon himself to be an enforcer.  While I appreciate the instinct, he lacks the, um, finesse, that Joe and I have.  So we tell him thanks, but we'll do the parenting around here, he can do the brothering.  (And the bothering.)  Tonight he was telling Adin to do something and I told him I would do the parenting.  Erik stormed off and shouted tearfully, "I never get to do the parenting around here!"
