Anyone have any thoughts and suggestions on what to do with my SD jealousy.

She's 16 YR old will be leaving school in June.

I have been in her life since she was 2 years old and have full custody of her.

I'm currently 18 weeks pregnant and IVF baby.

Now myself and her husband have spoilt her which I know is our fault.

We have included her as much as we can, taken her for a private scan to find out the gender, names, items. Constantly reasserted her that I will not love her any less etc.

It all come to ahead last night when my family (who have taken her on as there own) was talking about the baby and she was starting to roll her eyes pull faces and said she is jealous and does not want the baby!

Now she has to be centre of attention in everything.
she struggles to keep friends because of this.

Obviously my family are Ecstatic for us after 8 long years of IVF. I don't feel they should not talk about my baby??

Just to add we don't really talk about the baby every day, nothings changed at home yet, we have lots of plans for the summer when the baby is here music concerts, etc.

I think the baby now is just a thought to her when it becomes real and there is a physical baby there that she will love and help you care for she will feel differently. My parents had a baby when I was nearly 16 and I’ve been like a second mother to him.
