I have an 18 year old daughter and I have a hard time with her regarding my son. She sometime acts like he is just being a brat & that I should control him better. She tends to ignore him & I don't think she like to go out in public with him because she is embarresed of him. Now that he has tic's also it just seems to be getting worse & I want to explode & tell her off.

I suppose it's possible she could be resenting him for taking so much of your time and attention or something like that. What happens when you try talking with her about why she feels the way she does about him and stressing more tolerance? It is odd that she doesn't feel more compassion for the little guy, there must be something bugging her.

remind her that she is 18 and an adult. Your son is a child and needs your attention. Bet you do things for him that you didn't do for her at that age? We are still going threw the same thing with our 30 year old daughter while raising out 2 young grandsons. Yep, things are different these days and we have changed our way of raising kids. She will never get over it, believe me, so stand your ground and tell her to back off and grow up!!!
