I have a ds11 and am 35 weeks pregnant with a new baby. Over the past few weeks ds has been quite sensitive, getting quite sad and angry over seemingly nothing. Aware this could be hormonal but I'm also worried that the impact of new baby looming is worrying him.
His dad and I separated when he was a toddler and he has two younger siblings at his dads but has always been the only one with me and dh so this will be a big change for him.
I've reassured him that while the family dynamic will change, his life won't and he'll still be able to do everything he currently does. And it goes without saying that I will always love him with all my heart.
Has anyone else gone through this with older kids? He doesn't open up much so it's hard to know what he's thinking sometimes.
