jeolous of your brother...

Yes i'm jealous of my sister... She gets all the love

I am mother of the two and was accutely aware of the problems like this. Its true too. since my daughter has been born, I feel my son hs grown up a lot. All the attention does go to the baby. I had prepared my son thankfully for that. worst was when she was born and I was taken to the hospital, my son had viral so doctor asked me and my daughter to be kept away from him , to protect us from nfection. Even after becoming all right after a week my son was so scared to come near us, not wanting the baby to catch the infection. It took him sometime to adjust to that. Now he adores his siter as I and he used to have long talks aboput the baby and how the scene will change, what baby will do and how much we will love her before she was born. He plays an active role in bringing up the baby. he will run and get nappies and her clothes for her when I want to change her. hold her if I am taking bath. she also will go and sit on him till he gets up in the morning and loves his room and would be found running to him whenever he is around. He always takes her to his room before sleeping and they both play for a while there on the bed . Its become a part of routine. The age gap is around seven years so I think may be thats the reason they don't find and yes its upto the parents to instill that beliefs in children. Like I have a neighbour who also have kids with age gap of six years but I always see their son hitting his little sister and she hits him back. my son is friends with them so he told me that their mother has told them to sort it out between themselves and if one hits the other, other one is allowed to hit back. I didn't like this. Tha boy is too old not to understand that its wrong to hit your siblings. He is a a thirteen year old kid to behave like that. I think his mom is teaching a wrong thing to him-its alright to hit people. Thankfully my son agrees with me. When I was a kid my grandfather always told my brother if you hit your sister your hands will shake a lot when you will grow old like me. Its just a saying but what a nice way to refrain a child and teach him that he should not hit anyone. I tell the same to my son,lol.

Every one says they feel bad about an only child, yet it seems that they really have it made. No sharing everything with a brother or sister and no fighting for affections. No need to be jealous of anyone, because you are the only one for your parents to give attention to.
