Anyone having behavioral problems with older children as your due date gets closer?

Question

Just to say my soon to be 7 year old is having meltdowns almost daily. I am due in 8 weeks and it seems that she is getting jealous of the baby. She has been the only child up until now. Any other mamas having issues like this. Can anyone give me some advice?

Answer

My son who 4 yrs old has been crying and not using his big boys words and just not listening and throwing and want to hit myself and hubby we give him time outs and take away electronics or toys whatever he likes. My daughter who 8 yrs old has been very pouty and senstive and not being like herself.. I just hope everything goes back to normal once my 3rd baby is a girl .. im not due until june 14 2016 but since I had myasthenia gravis since I was 4 yrs old and they told me when I had a child it could come 4 weeks up 2 weeks early from it due date.. so my daughter was 3 weeks early and my son was 2 weeks early and with this baby could come early mid may until the end of may .

Answer

My son has been acting up a bit hes 6  and also my only living child..i enrolled him in a sibling class which was only $10 for a 1hr 30 min class where they will teach h how to help and being careful with the baby...maybe you can try something like that out to get he rises to the idea of a baby coming.

Tell me about it. My son who is 7 has decided not to leave our bed at night as he thinks his sister will take his place on the bed and will replace him 😂

Answer

Yes!my 7 year old daughter is the same way. It doesn't help that I've been so sick through out this pregnancy. She's been such a trooper. Just can't wait until baby's here and we get into a routine.

Answer

My boys are the same as alway lol. . i think its just me less patients  n more hormonal. Certain behavior  annoys me more.

Answer

Thank goodness I am not alone! I hope once her brother gets here she will see we still love her. She keeps saying we are replacing her. It breaks my heart when she says that!

Answer

Yes!  My 5 year old daughter has been super whiney and sensitive lately. It's driving me crazy. I don't really have much advice I'm just handling it situation by situation at this point.  I'm hoping things get a little better once the baby is actually here.

Answer

Oh my goodness yes! My daughter is 4 years old and has been sassy and not listening lately! It's driving me insane. 😐
