Resent for the siblings is the last thing i'm thinking of. It's the resentment for the parents. I HAD To take care of my little brother from the time he was born or no one else would. In some aspects they couldn't in others they wouldn't. I'll be honest. I love my lil bro more than life itself, but i never wanted to be mom. I never wanted to have to sneak around just to have a life. I didn't wanna cook, clean, and play mommy all day. I didn't wanna be housewife all summer, i wanted to go out and be with my friends but it simply wasn't an option. I'm not saying these parents are bad parents but there are some things they simply cant provide to that many. Some ppl take it upon themselves, others don't. For those who do it sucks to be 16 and have a five year old that you are pretty much the mom to. For those that don't then the younger sib is definitely going to lack alot of the emotional connection he needs to another person, or guidance for that matter. They may "school" up and all 18 may be angels but that doesn't mean everyone is provided for in the ways they need to be. Maybe these ppl are managing but it seems far fetched that they could do it. If they can then god bless them. If not then I only hope the kids can cope well, and come out of it ok.
