The baby loves the cat! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-does-your-eldest-get-along-with-your-youngest#post-1988041 Wed, 17 Dec 2014 09:39:55 +0000 swurlygurl 1988041@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mamaof2: Hah! Thinking through the other sibling sets I know, that is the trend! My nephew is the sweetest older brother though - he actually yelled at a kid that was being a bully to his sister. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-does-your-eldest-get-along-with-your-youngest#post-1988033 Wed, 17 Dec 2014 09:35:03 +0000 Mamasig 1988033@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mamaof2: not true! DS1 loves his little brother so much from day one. He has always given him kisses, hugs, holds his hand, etc. the jealousy has come out maybe 2 times. I was worried before little brother was born about how DS1 would handle it. The love was just natural! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-does-your-eldest-get-along-with-your-youngest#post-1988029 Wed, 17 Dec 2014 09:33:40 +0000 Andrea 1988029@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>She's a pretty good big sis. Of course she still snatches stuff away from lil sis every once in a while, but it can't all be perfect. Lately, she's been cleaning off lil sis with wipes after meal times and getting her down from the highchair. So cute. And she's not a very jealous kid so that's been nice for us, as parents. I think it's definitely great having a big sis! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-does-your-eldest-get-along-with-your-youngest#post-1988021 Wed, 17 Dec 2014 09:25:32 +0000 Mamaof2 1988021@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@autumnlove: @luckypenny: @swurlygurl: I see a pattern here...... big sisters love their siblings...... Big brothers not so much :silly: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-does-your-eldest-get-along-with-your-youngest#post-1988019 Wed, 17 Dec 2014 09:24:02 +0000 swurlygurl 1988019@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>L loves her sister SO much! Too much, maybe? Haha. She does not like it when strangers touch K - she yells at them! :/<br /> She's very good about trying to soothe K when she's crying, and comes running for us to help if she can't. She keeps trying to pick her up but can't (and it cracks me up because K is a HUGE baby and going to pass her up in size eventually!) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-does-your-eldest-get-along-with-your-youngest#post-1988017 Wed, 17 Dec 2014 09:23:05 +0000 Mamaof2 1988017@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My younger child would be an amazing big sister!!</p> <p>My DS still gets jealous of his little sister but there are more and more bright spots these days. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-does-your-eldest-get-along-with-your-youngest#post-1988015 Wed, 17 Dec 2014 09:21:36 +0000 luckypenny 1988015@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Nothing but love and she enjoys helping me with her. Sometimes too much. The little one was crying and E tried to pick her up to make her feel better, only to drop her on her head :shocked: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-does-your-eldest-get-along-with-your-youngest#post-1988004 Wed, 17 Dec 2014 09:17:17 +0000 autumnlove 1988004@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>She loves her but struggles with sharing sometimes. She doesn't like hearing LO 2 cry...she used to be annoyed but now she tries to soothe her. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-does-your-eldest-get-along-with-your-youngest#post-1987996 Wed, 17 Dec 2014 09:12:34 +0000 mrbee 1987996@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I thought we were lucky that our eldest gets along with our youngest, but then I met some families where the eldest helps baby and take care of the youngest! That definitely doesn't happen here... although I think if the birth order was reversed, our daughter would love to baby her brother!</p> <p>How does your eldest get along with your youngest? </p>
