Parents are often initially afraid to stand up to a child who's bossing everyone around. This might be because there's been a parenting gap all the while, or because they depend on this child to supervise the other kids when they're gone. But if they avoid talking to their dominant child about this, they will soon see a shift in the balance of power. At some point, their younger kids will surmise that the adults cannot protect them from their "bossy" sibling. Once the younger kids believe they aren't safe, then they have to make their own separate deals with that sibling. And that deal usually involves giving in to him and following his lead.
When this happens, you'll see all kinds of inappropriate behavior begin to blossom and thrive. Sometimes these "alpha dog" kids are funny, so they become clowns and make unkind jokes at their parents' expense. By the way, I'm not talking about a child who makes a harmless joke, I'm talking about one who will put his parents down and make demeaning comments about them. His siblings laugh at those jokes because they're more afraid of his power than they are of their parents' authority. And why shouldn't they be? When this dynamic is controlling a family, the dominant child is much more powerful and has a greater impact on their lives than the parents do.
