hi.i am expecting my 5th child at the beginning of march.i already have ds1-age 9,dd1-age 8,ds2-age 3.5,and dd2 age 13 months.
when i was expecting dd2,ds2 just accepted there was a baby in my tummy and then she came out and became his baby sister.now he's older,he seems confused about everybody's place in the family.he's not concerned with how the baby got there,but he keeps saying 'you're my mummy' and things like '(dp)baby's daddy'.
he hasnt seen his biological father since he was 4 months old,but he's still to young for me to explain what happened.dp sees him as his own son and we have seen a solicitor about dp adopting him.
i realise its a confusing situation for a little boy who's just starting to understand about families etc,does anybody know of any books/websites/organisations where i can get advice on how to explain things to him in an age appropriate way?!
