2nd child, first child acting out because new baby coming?

Question

I have an amazing daughter who will be 7 this year. She’s a fighter. Came 2 months early. Spent first month of her life in icu. Then back again at 2 months for emergency surgery.  At first she was excited to be a big sister. Now she’s behaving badly. Getting in trouble at school, fighting on the bus.  Anyone dealing with these issues?  If so could use some advice and info on how you’re dealing w it... thanks

Answer

Yes I have a 3 year old and he has been also now been getting in trouble in school for thinking he can do what he wants instead of listening , also crying and talking back. He’s definitely got the threenager thing going on . It’s so stressful because I don’t want to be the mean mommy but he has been a little out of hand since I have gotten pregnant.

Answer

I’ve been going through the same thing with my 3 year old daughter. She’s been so excited to be a big sister to her little brother but now that I went on maternity leave two weeks before his due date she has been acting horrible. She asks for a pacifier before bedtime which she has been off since she was like 8 months old. She cry’s and cry’s for me when I’m right there. I’m trying but it’s just driving me insane. I know she just wants me.
