Hi all,
this is my first post and I need some advice from mums and dads out there in relation to parent guilt. We have a 11 year old daughter and just had a son 1 week ago. I am consumed with guilt that I am not providing my DD the attention she was receiving previously. Now actually everything is pretty much the same, we still have the mornings where we get ready and discuss the day, evening where we have a family meal at the table and debrief the school day and discuss homework. But I know my projecting my guilt and just thoughts about loving 2 babies at the same time. It’s obviously hard as we have had just 1 for a long time. At times it feels almost awkward or like I’m trying to hard. She doesn’t seem phased but I just don’t want our beautiful new arrival to affect her negatively in any way. I know in the long run everything will be fine as she’s very mature and gets involved with our DS, I know things will settle down in my mind. How did other parents deal with this without it becoming a big thing?
