Y’all, does the jealousy of having a new sibling ever go away?

Y’all, does the jealousy of having a new sibling ever go away?

My two year old has been absolutely awful, like to the point I don’t even take the kids out anywhere.

He started getting really bad months before I had Keegan. He started hitting, biting, pinching, screaming, and just everything else in between. Since I had Keegan it’s gotten a thousand times worse. He has started peeing his pants again, peeing on my BRAND NEW couch, he has tried hitting the baby in the head.

I have tried absolutely everything when it comes to disciplining him and nothing has worked.

I’m literally about to lose my mind. I try letting him help with the baby and whatever it is I’m doing that I know he can help with. While the baby sleeps I spend time with him cause it’s just me and the boys until 2:30 everyday when my daughter gets home from school.

Is his dad the same dad as your youngest? He may be lashing out towards that attention instead of the attention from you? See if dad or family can watch baby while you do something special for him…

I think all kids go through this to some extent. But I’m not sure if punishments are just encouraging the behavior cause he’s seeking attention and negative attention is still attention. I would have suggested one on one time with him but I see you’re doing that. Could you put together special bins of special toys, busy items he only gets to play with while you’re tending to the baby, feeding etc. Maybe make it fun. Playdoh, busy books, sensory bins, coloring, etc.

I’ve bought him coloring books, blocks, an stuff like that. I’ve even tried letting him have candy or popsicles lol. I’ve fixed my old phone to where he can get on kids YouTube or play games.

the fact he’s two makes it harder. He doesn’t understand quite yet what’s going on. Why his life changed and where this baby came from and why isnt it leaving. Hang in there. It will get better

@itsamemario, you deleted your post before I could hit send but this is my comment: I don’t know if this answers your question but this is my answer. My son is 7 and he knows race and color. Why? Because he himself comes from a family that is multi racial and because he has already experienced racism. I also believe as his mother it’s my job to teach him color and the cold hard truth about society. He knows what’s going on in this world. I’d be hurting him if I allowed him to blindly walk outside without this information. Children of color are being targeted and killed too. It’s not just adults. I let my son know we treat everyone equally and with respect. I let him know that we love everyone for their differences. In every aspect. Color, race, ethnicity, religion, sexual preference we love everyone.

Yesterday I went out with my boyfriend went to watch a movie, me and him don't live together yet. but point is yesterday when he was dropping me off his like sleep over at my house witch the mom and dad lives. I said no, his response was why is everyone deciding or making choices for you and their going to do the same with the baby, when I know that's not true. what he thinks is that my mom tells me not to sleep over. So he left all mad. and I felt in my heart that he went on and cheated on me and did something else with an other girl.... and it's 10:51 am now and he hasn't texted me at all. and after he dropped me off I texted him saying what I felt and nothing. I don't know if I'm over reacting or what or what should i do. do i wait until he text me?

I have been trying so hard to be calm, and nice. This morning though, my fiancès son decided to spit at me and hit me. This is constant with the hitting, the spitting is new. We've both tried sitting and talking to him, time outs, cry it out, try to avoid spanking as much as possible but it has happened. No form of discipline works with him. He hits me, he hits his dad, he hits my son. I'm so afraid of what's going to happen come May when the baby is born. Is he going to try and hurt our baby? What's going to happen? We've both stuck with following the same discipline routines, and sticking with what he or I say. I don't know what to do. I'm so frustrated, I'm so broken. I just want to cry and hide.
