My son is almost 3 and whenever I told him he was going to have a little sister he would tell me "oh no" . He use to try to play rough with me and I just kept telling him he has to be careful and play nicely with mommy. I usually try to buy something small for him when I've gone shopping for his little sister and he is with me just so he doesn't feel left out or forgotten. Not anything big maybe a shirt or pj's (he likes mickey mouse) or $3 car or even $1 snack size mini oreos :). I think it sometimes takes kids awhile to adjust to the idea of a new sibling. Today for the first time my son rubbed my tummy and said "hi sister see you soon" :) I'll be 39 weeks tomorrow and I have a c-section scheduled for Friday so it definitely has taken some time for my son to come around. Also I got him a big brother book for his little sister to give him at the hospital :)
Our two yr old son was like that at very first. From the beginning is when we started asking him if he want a baby brother n he say no n then wed say baby sister n he'd say no. We did that almost everyday till he started screaming NO! N then we found out it was a boy n we bought some stuff here and there n now he comes over to my belly talks to him n feels him. Gives him kisses n tells him night night and covers my belly with his blanky I made him. He's doing a lot better but he's going to b very jealous I think when he gets here though
I try to tell my boy every day how special he is and what a great brother he'll be. Everything we buy him or do with him is centred around this. I also show him his sister's room and all the bits i have for her so he knows he won't have to share everything with her. When we read books at bedtime, I tell him he will soon be able to cuddle with mummy and sister. Etc etc. You may need to put him in time out to let him know that no hitting is allowed.
Maybe take him shopping to buy something for him and help you find something for the baby?
I'm sure that he will eventually get used to the idea. Be sure to give him plenty of praise when he is gentle with your stomach.
I hope so I'm 27weeks and he just get angry every time my oldest tell him we going to have a sister see my oldest is 9 I waited a long time to have another one after him but with my three year old he probably feeling push to the side he seeing all the stuff being brought for the baby and he gets so mad I actually had to go out and buy him a few trucks so he won't be mad no more I hope he warms up to him becoming a big brother
It gets better:) slowly! My son got very angry when I tried telling him he was going to have a brother.. It was a bad few months. I'm 38&4 and he seems to be liking it now. He pets my belly and says brother and baby. He is only 2 but he hit me and said no baby for a long time. I'm sure it will still be hard when baby is actually here but for now he is getting used to the idea
