I just wondered what people’s experiences are with this. Has anyone had their first born (3) not wanting a sibling because they feel like they will be replaced? (To the point where they were very upset and promising to be good so we wouldn’t need a new baby).
No second baby yet, it was merely triggered by a discussion after a friend had a second baby and we were saying how lovely it was to be a big sister! (Apparently it’s not!)
Many hours of reassurance were needed after that and I’m wondering if maybe waiting another year or so would be better.
Anyone else experienced similar?
