Well --- I thought that at one time, too. Only it was my nephews......I finally spoke up one day when my older nephew was being punished....and I'd seen he had been NO where near his brother when his brother screamed and claimed the older one hurt him. I told mom what happened...she didn't believe me, or didn't care, and said the older one probably did something wrong and deserved the punishment anyway. The result -- they're in their 40s now, don't speak to each other and have built up a LOT of resentment to their mother. At least I know I tried.
