I’m so sorry to hear you are having a hard time with your DD L Time really made he difference in our house. I can’t even say what it was that made the behavior change to the better. **Hugs!**
DD was 4.5 years old when LO was born and the first 4-6 weeks were HORRIBLE!! DD is a great kid; she hardly ever gets into trouble or acts up. When she does it is when she is over tried.
After DS was born she started acting up so badly that she would get 4-6 time outs day. We don’t spank much but she got a few. Most of her behavior issue was her not listening or doing what she was told. She made me so frustrated that I really didn’t know what to do with the kid. We tried punishments, bribing (horrible I know!), taking toys away no matter what we did it made no difference. Positive reinforcement didn’t help. We even made special plans for her to be alone with either DH or me. Took her for ice cream dates, paint our nails together; I would play dolls, tea parties. An hour after one of things she would be on timeout again!
I am glad that she never showed negative behavior toward DS only to DH and myself. I took a good 4 weeks and she finally started to return to her normal attitude. About 6 weeks before she was back to normal. Now we have no trouble at all. She really is a sweet girl and I am so happy to have her back

It will get better. My DD is 2 and a half so we have some terrible twos issues but otherwise she is getting along with sister. I think it will get better when Myah can actually play with her.

Delilah gets along really well with Olivia and always plays with her.
She has been acting up since the baby got here though, and I don't know if it's because of Olivia or her age, because 3s SUCK. She is 3.5, and I feel like she's a teenager. She back talks, doesn't listen, does what she wants and everything. I tell her to do something and she argues with me.
DH and I have tried EVERYTHING under the sun and NOTHING works. I hope this is a phase and she grows out of it soon. Before Olivia came along she was so well behaved and such a good kid. I miss her being that way.

My DD is the EXACT same way. She was so well behaved before Owen was born. Now most days are horrible. She is almost 4 (in June) She just acts up all the time. I guess for more attention. We try as much as possible to give her her own individual time, and it helps, but things are still rough. Sometimes I think it's just the age and Owen being born just accentuated things.

ya she is 7 and i thought she would handle this way better but i think its worse because of her age. being an only child for soo long. i have been trying girls night with her and sleepovers and extra time and shopping etc. but it only helps for a couple hours and then back to same old stuff. i feel like dh and i are constatly yelling at her for not listening and doing what shes told. i feel bad but what else can i do? i hope this gets better soon.

Alex just turned 3 when I had bella and he's been amazing with her since day 1. He always wanted to hold her and asked every morning for like the first 3 months if we could keep her forever, so cute!

I can tell there are times when he's dissappointed I'm not able to play with him when Bella needs my attention but I just make sure I carve out extra time for him every day.
