Losing Sleep Over This- Sick With Worry! Posted: 08-09-06 05:48am
You are probably gonna think i'm crazy but
I have been constantly worrying about the
effect my new baby will have on my
family.
You see I am very lucky to have a boy and
a girl at the moment but whatever the sex
of this baby, one of my kids is going to
feel left out. If its a boy then layla
will be the only girl, if its a girl then
logan will be left out.
Its worrying me so much. My hubby said
don't worry we can try for another in a
year or so to even it out but what if that
is the same sex as the new baby? That'll
be even worse!
I know i'm probably being completely
stupid on this matter but has anyone else
felt like this? I feel really guilty for
the odd one out already...
Please give me some advise... Thanks

Maybe you'll get lucky and have a dog?
Lol just kidding.I seriously think your
over reacting.They are too young to care
what you have,i think they'll just be more
happy they got another little
sibling.There may be jealousy anyway but
only because its a new baby,not because of
the gender! : ) relax!
Don't worry about it, kids don't care
about gender.. My brother grew up with
our female cousin as his best friend coz
they were the same age.. He's the middle
child between my sister and me.. So
surrounded by girls! It never bothered
him.. Actually when my mum was pregnant
with me, my brother said "i hope it's a
girl".. He was only 6.. So cute =p
kids do get jealous of younger siblings
sometimes, but you can avoid it by giving
your other two the same amount of
attention as the new baba.. I'm sure
you've got experience in that already! =)
Kid's don't over think these things the
way we do. Also I think gender isn't
much of an issue when kids are still kids.
I know I played with everyone and barely
noticed there was a difference between us.
