Sibling behavior

We are due with our second baby next week and over the past month our 4 year old has been super challenging. Lots of arguing, not listening, meltdowns, and fighting bedtime and naps. Anyone else have a similar experience when they were getting ready to bring another baby into the home?

Literally going through it with my 4 year old right now baby girl has been home 3 days and the not listening and the meltdowns and him just acting out is the worst.

@Abbey this makes me feel better. Not that your going through it too hahah but knowing it’s probably related to the baby

lol I know what you mean 🫠 and honestly yes I think it’s because they are so use to having the attention all on them but it’s okay we can get through it !

I could literally write this myself, 4 year old girl has been horrendous with behavior and listening since we brought little sister home. I’m glad it’s not just me but I could about cry everyday she’s so bad 😥

@Elissa it’s the worst because I was expecting at 4 for her to be old enough to be helpful and not make things harder.

are they still napping? have you tried getting rid or a later bedtime? x

I promise baby will come and they’ll come around. Literally had this issue with my daughter. Same age. She came around after a week maybe 2 of baby being home. Then again I’m not consistent with my schedules so she may fight bedtime bc I don’t really focus on it lol
