It definitely is. My stupid ass sister-in-law couldn't figure out why he hated the baby. She plays favorites anyway, which doesn't help, but even the idea that he had no idea, and he was past two already. At that age they're too young to sit down and explain it, but there are subtle things you can do. A couple of weeks before Tonya was born, we moved Joey's carseat out of the middle and put hers back there, too. Then he didn't freak out about having to share the backseat or that he had to sit behind me and not have such a good view anymore. I think as long as you keep in mind that they're little people too, and that they're still part of the family even if they don't get something, it works out fine. It's people who underestimate them and treat them like they're stupid that have problems.
