Hi everyone I’m looking for some advice or book suggestions for my DN. My DH and I have been trying for a baby on and off for the last 3 years I’m now nearly 2 weeks late and I was messaging my mum about it not realising that my 8-year-old niece was seeing the messages too and she got very upset and started telling my DM that she doesn’t want me to have a baby because I’m going to love the baby more than her she knows that would never happen but I could really do with some suggestions for the best way to help her understand that me having a baby isn’t going to change the bond I have with her.
I think all this comes from the fact that my cousin and his fiance had a baby a couple of years ago and while she was pregnant they made promises of how my niece could be baby’s big sister and a lot of other promises that never happened once the baby arrived and my niece thinks I will do the same to her.
Are there any books or anything out there that you could recommend that will help me explain to her that a baby doesn’t mean she will be shoved out or loved any less.
