HOLIDAYS WITH DSD

[JBW]

Going on holiday for a week abroad with DH, DS (aged 2) and DSD soon. Having problems in DSD in that she will not take any notice of me when she is asking something about my DS. If she asks if he can have a certain type of food and I say no she will give it to him anyway. She also will not leave him alone, keeps following him and asking him for kisses all the time. DS gets annoyed in the end, ask DSD to leave him but she just carries on. DSD does not live with us and I not really looking forward to going away. Get no support from DH at all. Getting more and more upset about this

Can't you just take the food away from DS or does it cause too much upset? I have to tell my dsc to give my ds some space because he needs to chill out which they understand. How old is your dsd?

DSD is 11. Took the food away from DS and was told by DH to not do that as DSD was not doing anything wrong. Just seem to be fighting a losing battle all the time. Makes me very sad.

Give her a break - she's enjoying spending time with her little brother!

It sounds to me like you are trying to turn it into a battle that it needn't be.

What foods are there that a 2YO can't have anyway?

There are certain goods I do not wish my DS to have, chocolate, crisps etc. She can spend time with her half brother but not feed him rubbish and she should respect that I am his mother and take notice of me when I ask her not to give him such rubbish.
