Anyone with older kids who didn't want another sibling?

Question

I have 3 girls, 13, 11, and 3. My 13 yr old is always saying she doesn't want us to have another one. Now I got a BFP and I'm not sure how to tell them. I won't tell them anything till I'm at least 12 weeks but it makes me anxious. I was thinking of getting my 3 ur old a shirt that says "I'm going to be a big sister" that's sort of how I told them about her in 2010.

Answer

Teenagers are tricky! Speak to her and find out what she's worried about. I have 3 younger sisters and remember feeling like I would have a lot more to do around the house when the youngest ones arrived. Reassure her she'll still be a 'kid' and won't have to pick up too much slack when the baby arrives. She could also be feeling awkward about the whole sex issue?

Answer

They'll adjust !! My 7 yr old seems ok!we dont make such a big deal of me being preg but i do make comments about " ur gonna be a great big sister"

Answer

I think the shirt idea is sweet!! I don't have any advice on older siblings but I think they will adjust fine!
