DD5 was so so excited all through out my pregnancy and has been obsessed with her sister since she was born, problem is DD is so rough I am constantly, CONSTANTLY having to correct her behaviour. It’s the same flipping thing every all day. I tell her that it’s too rough and then show an alternative/adjustment but I'm honestly talking to a brick wall. It’s super frustrating! Like earlier I had to stop her from lying on top of the baby 5 times in the space of 2 minutes. I’m constantly finding her swinging the babies arms about wildly or backwards. I don’t mind them playing together, in fact I love it when they are doing it ‘well’.

When will it end? How do I get DD5 to listen? I’m so fed up of her hundred ‘sorry’s’ and then right back to the same thing. By the end of the day I’ve turned into shouty mum and that doesn’t feel nice either.

It can be tough can't it, especially with such a big gap. How old is LO?
