MM I feel you. And having seen all the arguing over the whole thing... like.

Being forced to hug and kiss the baby at age four is not the thing that's going to ruin the kid's life, that part is true-- it's NOT going to foster the close sibling relationship they want, but it's not like this *one* thing is going to wreck that relationship, either. It's NOT a relationship, though, and it won't be until baby is old enough to be interesting to a four year old, and that's pretty normal. Some four year olds love a baby and are interested in a baby and will grab a doll and mimic how mom and dad care for baby, some four year olds could not care LESS until their sibling is big enough to actually play with.

The real problem is that if they are comfortable with forcing their older daughter to hug and kiss baby, and comfortable *getting outsiders to do the same*, that's a precedent for what they think of their child's autonomy, and that CAN lead to things that will hurt her! And if they think they can bully their way through the bonding at *this* phase, rather than putting in the work to make their kid feel like she matters, then the odds are they will continue to make the wrong moves during phases that ARE going to have more lasting/serious consequences.

But, of course, they're never going to listen to a non-parent about it, and probably not ready to listen to other parents, either. Which makes it hard to stop the behavior now when it's the kind of thing the kid won't remember later in life.
