Can you try and do some special 'big boy' things with Billy leaving frankie behind ? Try and stagger nap times so you get some 1:1 times with DS1 - praise him when he is helpful etc.

My 2 DS are still like this and they are 3 and 5... so it is something that you will learn to manage over time.

You have to accept that this is your life for the next few years.

You can help by making sure he has some special time with you each day and keep praising him and telling him how much you love him. Let him know that he is still very special to you and don't get angry or upset with him when he says he hates his brother. Let him know that you all still love him anyway.
