To cut a long story short. I’ve had a rainbow baby, he’s 3 months. I have a much older child also with 10 angels between. I’m protective and have very mixed emotions ect not knowing how I should feel. But recently my older child especially (and occasionally grandparents too) keeps saying “MY clever little boy” ect but my older one says it several times a day! Will also cradle him and say “MY baby’s name and pull him away this I know is playing but always with the strong “MY”
I’ve not said anything about how I feel to anyone but inside I feel like screaming and my eyes fill! I just want to scream NO HE’S MINE…
Firstly is it normal for others to state “my” when referring to someone else’s baby? And secondly does it or would it irritate you too?

That sounded cruel and it wasn't meant to be but you probably need to be thinking of your older child's feelings as well as your own.
