DD has said a few times that I don't cuddle her............

Hi. I just need a bit of advice please! I have 2 DD's, 5 yr old and a 20 month old. Obvioulsy 5yr old at school full time and DD2 at home with me all day. I do find it abit difficult to be close to DD1 because she is rude a cheaky but I do cuddle her and try and spend time with her. Today she has said a couple of times that I don't cuddle her and only cuddle DD2. I had been cuddling DD1 this afternoon on the sofa. I feel awful. We have got half term this week and have loads to do so Im hoping we will have a nice week.

I think when you get jealousy like this you have to go really overboard with the reassurance. Cuddle like mad.

DD (middle child) says I never play with her. I play with her loads more than the others but she just needs more. So I play and play!

Her baby brother is 22m old. She was fine after he was born. I think the jealousy can come later than expected.
