I need some advise if anyone has any.
I am currently 21 weeks pregnant due in July and in the last 8 weeks or so my 7 year old son has been behaving different. He's started to whine (sounds like a toddler) and he's also starting to get angry about the slightest thing, most recent being because he couldn't have a chocolate bar because his evening meal is cooking. He's now currently sat in his room crying over this chocolate bar.
I don't know if it has started because I'm pregnant or whether it's just his age. Me and my husband have both sat down without I'm and let him ask as many questions as he has wanted and we have also reassured him that it won't change anything in regards to taking him out to the park, sitting with him to do his homework, doing his usual day to day activities. He has said he's excited to be a big brother and can't wait to meet his little brother but I'm at the end of my tether now. It's everyday! I've sat him down again today and asked him what's upsetting him and he says because he can't have a chocolate bar.
Am I reading too much into this or is it the start of jealousy? I really don't want him to feel jealous or pushed out but I've tried everything. I've tried being nice mum and also tried punishing him but it doesn't matter what I or my husband do it doesn't change.
I love my son to bits but I feel like I can't cope with the constant paddying and kicking me off.
