Hi
I am really struggling with my 18month old who is very clingy and jealous of his old sister.
I hoped this was a phase but he has been like it for months. I can barely touch his sibling (getting her dressed, making her a drink etc) without screaming and crying from the smaller one.
He is generally very grumpy at the moment especially. Seems to hate DH and sibling - hitting them and won’t cuddle them in any way.
It just got me really down as DD fell and hurt her knee and the baby is screaming because I’m comforting her. DD is not jealous at all and I just feel so sorry for her.
DS was an easy baby 0-6m but has just got harder and harder. He doesn’t sleep very well and suffers terribly with teething.
I have spoke to a few friends about you get sibling jealously but no one has had it that way around?
Any ideas?
