[AlwaysLearning] new baby
BADOLBILZ
This is sad, I think...our neighbors just had their 3rd dd the other
day. Yesterday, we went to visit and see the baby. Their oldest dd is
6, next is 3. Neither sister likes or is excited about the baby. And my
neighbor said they are trying not to hold the baby too much because the
other girls get jealous. It's so hard for me to keep my mouth shut
sometimes, but I did. How sad for that baby and for the older girls.
I've always included my girls in my pregnancy, home birth,
breastfeeding, all of it. I always told them that it was "our" baby.
The day after my 4th dd was born, the 2 yr old sat and held her on the
couch for almost 2 hrs. When the 2 yr old was born, my 5 yr old (2 at
the time) held her for the first time and wouldn't give her back. The
same when the second was born and my first tried to nurse her so she
could be her mommy, too. It's been 5 months now and they still fight
over who's turn it is to hold our newest. Some might think I'm just
lucky that they all like each other, but I think the parents need to let
the older children know how important they are to a new siblings life.
We are right next door to each other, us with four girls 7,5,2 1/2, and
5 mnths, and them with three girls, 6, 3, and 2 days. And I don't like
my girls to play with theirs too much. The 6 year old is violent.
Every summer they take her out into the woods and catch big toads and
let her take them home. She kills them within one day. Swings them by
the legs, throws them in the air. Last summer I called my girls to come
home when she did this and explained to them that the frog was alive and
could feel pain and what that little girl was doing was cruel. Then
they wouldn't go back over. They wanted me to make her stop, but her
mother was right there and she wasn't saying anything. I didn't feel it
was my place, although maybe I should have. And the 3 yr old is
painfully shy and hardly ever even outside.
Anyway, I'm just rambling. I feel so sad for those girls because
children need touching and affection. All the toads and toys (which they
have tons) in the world won't make up for the simplest and most basic
need they have, the love of each other.
I'm going to go hug my girls now. Have a great day, everyone! HeidiC.

This is one angry child who whispers things about rotting in hell in my son's
ear. It's within my role to protect and if my kids ask to play with him, I
make myself be right with them the whole time.
I agree with you on siblings holding babies! My two are 53 weeks apart and
my oldest held my youngest when she was about 4 weeks old. Lots of pillows,
some hovering, but it really helped form their bond.

Women,
Stick to this - "I don't want my kid/s playing w/........" Stick to it!! I let some adults talk me into letting Brianna play w/ the kids down the street.
One of them hit her in the mouth and broke her adult tooth. After two caps and a root canal - there's nothing to be done except an implant - when she's older.
The parents thought I was over re-acting "She has other teeth."
"He didn't mean to break her tooth, he was just hitting her in the face."
Stick to your guns!!

Did you try hitting him with the dental bills? Why can't all kids be
as great as ours and all parents reasonable? LOL HeidiC.

Tried to get them to assume some kind of responsibilty. Here, in RI, parents are only responsible for up to $1500.00 damage of their kids.
These people are trash.
My attorney sent them a letter and all she did was scream about her Mensa membership and how I wasn't Brianna's mom and how they couldn't afford it.
We "won" a judgement....but they never came up w/ a cent.

It's too bad you couldn't get them to pay. Do they still live nearby?
It would really suck to have neighbors like that. HeidiC.
