jealous sister ?

[Niinax2]

So I told my 3yr old daughter she's having a baby brother/sister and she told me very angry noooooo I told her you don't want a baby brother or sister? She told me flat out no. I told her what does she wants she tells me nothing so every time daddy rubs my belly she jumps on him for attention. I'm really worried she's the baby in the family so she's very spoiled and gets all the attention. She can get jealous very easy. What can I do to ease her out of that?

I have a 2 year old son and I'm expecting a little girl in January.  I've told him since I was about 12 weeks along he was going to be alone big brother.  He's very rambunctious and I needed him to understand why mom couldn't play like he is used to.  No more crawling on mom our stepping over me just in case.  We've learned soft touches because of the baby.  I think it will help once she's here to that he knows she can't play like he does.  He wasn't happy about it and I even took him to my sono to show him the baby in my belly and he didn't like it at all.  Actually that was the response I got was I no like mom.  I don't want mom.  But now he loves to look at my sono pictures and tells me sissys face and hands and feet.  He loves to feel her move and blows raspberrys on my tummy. I include him in what we have bought for the baby as well.  So he knows it's her stuff,  not for him.  He still gets his streaks of I don't want her mom.  But I think telling him throughout my pregnancy really has helped,  not only me in settling him down but him as well for knowing she's coming. And how he will deal with her.

Lol kids are so funny. She Does Love Babies So I Think And Hope When She Sees It She Gets Over It

I think you need to completely "rest" this topic for a long time.  Sounds like you're 13 weeks,  so you have a LONG time to go before the baby gets here.

I think no more talking about the baby in front of her,  no more daddy rubbing your belly,  etc.  Rest it,  and drop it.  And pick it back up when you are obviously carrying something in there - like at about 7 months.  

Also,  at the time the baby arrives and you're doing the nursery,  make a big fuss out of painting the big girl room and putting something big girl in it - whatever that would mean.  A little art desk with a lamp or something like that.

Best wishes.  I had a friend who told her 4 year old son he would have a little brother and he said "well.      ... I'm not sharing any of my toys" and walked away.  Ouch.

I try to. My best friend is expecting a baby too and has a daughter the same age as mine and we try talking about it the 4 of us. And I tell my daughter her zamena (friends daughter) is having a baby brother don't u want one too she tells me no she can have a baby brother not me. Lol. It kind of worries me. She's very over protective with me her daddy and her Nana and she's already getting jealous with her daddy. I do try including her in I'm taking her to all my appointments so she gets to see the baby but she just won't budge in

My 5 year old daughter can't wait to become a big sister, she's been wanting a sibling since  she was 3!

Lol thats so cute. I try telling her that. She would cry screaming telling me no I don't want a baby brother or sister

When I told my 4 year old she started crying saying she didn't won't me to go buy her a brother or a sister. But she is a little better now. I told her she had to be a big girl cause I was going to need help taking care of the baby.
