First born not wanting a sibling

[MrsVMorgan]

I just wondered what people’s experiences are with this. Has anyone had their first born (3) not wanting a sibling because they feel like they will be replaced? (To the point where they were very upset and promising to be good so we wouldn’t need a new baby).

No second baby yet, it was merely triggered by a discussion after a friend had a second baby and we were saying how lovely it was to be a big sister! (Apparently it’s not!)

Many hours of reassurance were needed after that and I’m wondering if maybe waiting another year or so would be better.

Anyone else experienced similar?

When I found out my mum was pregnant with my sister I cried and cried and cried,
I didn’t want another sister! But that didn’t last long...and I was fine when she came along. Just make sure your oldest doesn’t feel left out and not included, not that you would anyway!! (When/If the time comes) xxx

My DS shouts “No!” when asked if we should have a baby in the family or if he wants a little brother. Well he’s getting one in a few months so he’ll just have to suck it up 🤣
