Home More advice Parents & Family
My sister in law is jealous of me going to have a baby. She has a 2 year old daughter and thinks that she will be pushed away as an outcast just because there will be a new member of our family.
the same thing happened to me...im 5 months pregnant and my sister is jealous because my son is going to be the first grandchild. she makes these mean comments all the time. she thinks the spotlight will be taken off of her and my parents will pay more attention to him. you just have to accept tht ppl are insecure and are jealous. just be rlly sweet to her and talk about the baby alot thts what i do
She is insecure. Try giving her some positive reinforcement. Perhaps ask for her advise (you don't have to follow it). Talk to her about how happy you are that your children will grow up together. Tell her how special it is to have cousins so close in age. Once she realizes that her fears are unfounded she will be better able to adjust.
then shes probably upset that the new baby is going to get all the attention? either way she does need to grow up a bit. people are inevitably going to have babies and start families (just like she did) she needs to accept that and be happy for you and your new baby.
I think those kind of people need to grow up and just accept it. Your sister in law I think is just exaggerating. I don't know why she's making a big deal about it. She should be happy there's going to be a new family member
-_- really and how old is this lady....she needs to grow the hell up! It's not about her. Plus it's a baby!!Babys grab attention she'll problly be one of the people wanting to hold it anyway.
