HELP...

HELP.. yes i really need HELP.. Kyle has been really difficult. I thought i did my job by preparing them for the arrival of Kurt... ive been reading them stories about new babies, we told stories together, got them excited. etc..But i guess i failed to get it through to Kyle. The events that happen last nite and today.. not even the last few days are as follows so you can imagine what the week has been like for me:-

1) Locked my bedroom door - (thank god - baby was with my mum). - he usually never touches the door!!!.. so we had to call the locksmith to open.

2) Scribbled his crayons on the tiles in the living room

3) We were all reading in my bedroom together - for no reason he screamed in Kaelyn's ears / snatched her book....

4) Wanted to climb in the cot and wants to PULL baby's hair - i have to watch him all the time!

5) He takes it out on Kaelyn alot - for no reason - he will pull her hair/ pull her ears/ push her and just irritate Kaelyn and wants everything she touches

6) Forced himself to vomit on my living room carpet!! which he did SUCCESSFULLY!!

7) Sneaked chocolate in his bedroom - and woke up with all the chocolate around his face!! - chocolate which my mum gave him after lunch..

8) Does all the opposite from wat i asked him to and REBELS... as much as he can

9) Mum wanted to take him to the play ground - i couldnt go of course- he pulled my feet and screameeddd and begged me to go.. then i told him No.. kyle i cant walk yet.. go with grandma - he stood in the corner - screamed to the top of his voice and crieddd and started JUMPING up and Down showing TEMPER - knowing that Kurt was sleeping..i hugged him but he just pushed me away!!

So these are the events that happen since last nite and today!!

Ive been extremely patient - i try not to punish him or smack him as i dont want him to feel left out. I talk to him and give them as much attention as i can. Ive been trying to keep their routine as usual. ive tried reasoning with him - it DOESNT work. HELP HELP HELP HELP HELP. need ur expertise and advise!!!

Hi dear

Sorry to hear that you are going through all these with Kyle. I know, I've been there and I am still "there" with Jia Wen. Things hasn't been the same since I got pregnant.

I hate to be honest with you but this will go on for quite a while and it can get worse. I have read and read, and all we can do is to be / or at least try to be patient with them. That's the best we can do. It's normal to lose it once in a while (which I do) and that's perfectly normal as a mother going through difficult times like this. Look at me, I am a wreck sometimes.

I don't want to say that it'll all soon be over because I do not know when it will but sibling rivalry and vying for attention from you is very normal and most of all natural.

Look at me lah, giving people advice when I haven't really accepted this fact!

Love
Szue Fei
