My 5 year old son has always been an angel, so polite, obedient and happy. Since having his baby brother 11 weeks ago, he is like a different child. He is aggressive, angry and constantly shouting g and whining about absolutely anything.
His baby brother is very needy and hardly ever sleeps in the day. I know my 5yo is missing attention that he used to get and that is making me feel like the worst mum, I am getting so low and stressed about his behaviour and constantly blaming myself for it.
I spend time with him as much as I can, I take him for adventures with the pram and he is happy then. I still lie with him I. Bed when he goes to bed and read him a story every night without fail. As soon as the baby needs me or I am busy with washing or something around the house, he is so angry. He is also so defensive and angry as soon as I say he can't have something. This is all so new and I don't like how he has changed.
He loves his brother and always tries to play with him and make him laugh but this awful behaviour has also only started since his brother was born.
It makes me so sad as he was always so lovely to be around and I am now starting to dread each day because of his new behaviours.
I don't know how to help him anymore than I am
I am scared that this is the new him for good
