Honestly, I would have expected this outburst more from Lily, the now middle child who used to be the baby of the family.
Its not difficult getting another younger sibling when your the oldest. You're kinda used to getting a little less attention from your parents after the first younger sibling. But it's hard going from the youngest to a middle child. Not only are you not as pampered, but now you have the responsibility of being "the older sibling". Less attention and more responsibility is a sure fire way to feel unappreciated and less loved.
So you go either one of two ways, become a hellion to try and get that attention back or become a peacemaker and accept getting forgotten about.
Lily seems to have gone for the later route, but I'm actually quite surprised, her having been the baby for quite a while before Ashley was even in the picture.
