Will We Deal with Jealousy from the Big Sister?

We were concerned about the adjustment our son would go through as we brought our daughter home from the hospital. Throughout my wife's pregnancy we talked about the baby and about how much we would always love him no matter what. The fact that we live in a two bedroom house complicated things as baby gear, including another crib, started showing up in his room, but he's been awesome with his baby sister so far.

Our focus has obviously been on our daughter, but I've also managed to stake out some time to do things just for him. I took him to his first baseball game a few days after we brought our daughter home figuring he might be “babied out” by then. And no matter how exhausted I've been we've kept his normal schedule up as best as we could, including his weekly Gymboree class and the pancake breakfast tradition we have after it.

He's been very gentle around her and won't go to bed at night until he gives her a kiss, which is incredibly sweet. We like to think the things we've said have been part of the transition being easier than we expected, but he is also a very sweet little boy. I can only hope in time that things trend the same way.

That is so good to hear. It's great that you've been able to carve out time
for him only and keep up the traditions you already had. I think our girl
will adjust just fine and she is also a very sweet girl, so I can see her
wanting to be sure to “care” for the baby and provide love too.

Congratulations PJ on such a wonderful family!

Melanie, my daughter loves her little brother, but she can get a bit rough with him especially now that he is crawling. I don’t think she does it con malicia, she’s very sweet, but I think it’s inevitable. As you said, you didn’t feel it, because you’re the youngest. I, on the contrary, am in the middle. So I got the jealousy from my older sister who was almost 4 before I “ruined” her life and was extremely jealous of my little bro who “ruined” my life when I was 3 1/2. My sis actually harmed me a couple of times, but we’re best of friends…rnrnAnyhow, one of the things I try to do as often as posible, is to spend time alone with my daughter, doing big girl things. Whenever my husband can join us, that’s a treat for her, too! Like recently, we took her to see Toy Story 3, just the three of us and she was extremely happy. I think it might get really old for them to have to put themselves second when the baby’s around because they require so much attention, especially at the beggining. rnrnDo you know what you’re having, yet?

Melanie, my daughter loves her little brother, but she can get a bit rough with him especially now that he is crawling. I don’t think she does it con malicia, she’s very sweet, but I think it’s inevitable. As you said, you didn’t feel it, because you’re the youngest. I, on the contrary, am in the middle. So I got the jealousy from my older sister who was almost 4 before I “ruined” her life and was extremely jealous of my little bro who “ruined” my life when I was 3 1/2. My sis actually harmed me a couple of times, but we’re best of friends…rnrnAnyhow, one of the things I try to do as often as posible, is to spend time alone with my daughter, doing big girl things.

Yes, at 4 I know she still requires a lot of attention…and it’s normal.rnThat’s a good idea about leaving the baby with someone to do things withrnjust her. It’s good for her to still feel special.

I forgot to say that even with the jealousy and all (which is COMPLETELY natural), there’s nothing like watching your children play together. I often cry from the tender moments I’ve experienced in the last 10 months since our son became a part of our family. My daughter knows how to entertain him like no other, and he cannot hide his joy when he sees her!! You are going to LOVE it!!! (Until they get old enough to fight, and then, not so much…ja, ja, ja!!!)

Melanie, my daughter loves her little brother, but she can get a bit rough with him especially now that he is crawling. I don't think she does it con malicia, she's very sweet, but I think it's inevitable. As you said, you didn't feel it, because you're the youngest. I, on the contrary, am in the middle. So I got the jealousy from my older sister who was almost 4 before I “ruined” her life and was extremely jealous of my little bro who “ruined” my life when I was 3 1/2. My sis actually harmed me a couple of times, but we're best of friends…

Anyhow, one of the things I try to do as often as posible, is to spend time alone with my daughter, doing big girl things. Whenever my husband can join us, that's a treat for her, too! Like recently, we took her to see Toy Story 3, just the three of us and she was extremely happy. I think it might get really old for them to have to put themselves second when the baby's around because they require so much attention, especially at the beggining.

Do you know what you're having, yet?

Yes, at 4 I know she still requires a lot of attention…and it's normal.
That's a good idea about leaving the baby with someone to do things with
just her. It's good for her to still feel special. Thanks for your input;
I'm sure I'll come to you with more questions once the baby's born.

I don't know yet, but hopefully we'll know next Tuesday!

I forgot to say that even with the jealousy and all (which is COMPLETELY natural), there's nothing like watching your children play together. I often cry from the tender moments I've experienced in the last 10 months since our son became a part of our family. My daughter knows how to entertain him like no other, and he cannot hide his joy when he sees her!! You are going to LOVE it!!! (Until they get old enough to fight, and then, not so much…ja, ja, ja!!!)

ha! I'm sure I'll be hating it at that moment. As silly and funny as she is now, I have NO DOUBT that she'll be making her brother or sister laugh for hours at a time.

These are all great ideas. She’s already picked out a few items that she’s gifting to her baby brother.
