Hey mamas. I was just wondering if anyone has kids spaced out how did they react to a new sibling or interact with a new baby? My son will be 7 Aug 12 and new baby will be here Aug 19th. My sweet boy seems so excited to be a big brother but I’m scared of how he’ll react once the new baby is born. It was just me and him for most of his life. My mom will be there to help with him but I’m scared he’s going to feel left out or like he isn’t getting as much attention and that’s breaking my heart thinking about it. I’ve talked to him but I know it’s not as easy to grasp until you’re actually going through it.

He has made a few comments about why baby always gets stuff but he gets nothing (he gets everything he asks for sometimes he just has to wait a little. He’s one of those kids that feels like he absolutely HAS to get something EVERYTIME we go in a store) so if I don’t get it right then it’s just the end of the world for him. I explained to him that we had to get baby stuff because he’s going to be brand new and he can’t fit his clothes because he’s a big boy and baby will be so tiny compared to him.

I’ve been taking more days off of work to spend more time with him & doing fun activities with him but I feel like that isn’t enough sometimes. I’m just nervous about the whole adjustment. He’s been asking for a little brother for so long but I feel like I waited TOO long 😅
