It's breaking my heart!!!

[jimbobsmum]

I have been with my DP for 3 years. He split up with his exP when his dd was just 1 year, she is now 13. She has two half sibs at her home and now has a new Half Brother at our home(our baby). I feels she hates our DS with a passion i've never seen before, I let it pass at first that she never interacted with him at all even though she spends a couple of days a week with us. DS is now ten months and loves to see her. He gets excited when she walks in the room, smiles, he's even mastered a false cough to get her attention but she doesn't even break a smile. It's breaking my heart to see his great efforts wasted!! what can I do? i've tried my damdest to include her in all we do she is our family! I now despair....and waffle!

How old is your baby? My dsd was a bit like this at first, well she diddn't hate the baby but she did largely ignore her. Until dd started crawling around after her and positively hero worshiping her. It totally melted her and she now is devoted to her. However she is a good bit older, she was 15/16 at the time.
Iiwy I would just leave it for a few more months. I do feel for you though, it is very tough.

yes, i agree with carmemere. dont feel down and let your self upset. im sure your little bundle bring her siblings love. it will take time, so please think positive.
im not knwn to step parenting but i couldnt just not reply your post as you sound really breaking.
hth,

He is 10 months old next week. I hope he does win her over. fingers crossed.

DP says thats just the way she is! anyway, I will not let it bother me anymore thanks to saintmaybe I hadn't really thought that I could be making DS feel bad. The weekends visit is drawing nearer I have bought DSD a little bear with 'special sister' for DS to give her when she visits. Can't believe I have resorted to bribery! If that doesn't work i will just eat cake.
