If you've lived your whole life as an only child in your family, where everyone will make your life easier and simpler, where only a shout or a pot gives you the gift that you want, a new member in the family can be horrible for you. When my nephew of 6 years knew he was going to have a brother, he was jumping up and down out of joy. But when he was born, my oldest nephew felt ignored and excluded, because everybody’s attention went to the new baby. To me it was funny when he cried to us and he told us that nobody loved him, but he probably felt terrible. The whole family talked with him and we told him that our love didn’t changed, that we loved them both the same, it was just that his new brother was younger and he needed more attention. In the end, he understood, he matured and started to behave like a good big brother. So if you are going through the same thing, think that a new member can be more fun, also you really don’t want to be the only one who takes care of your parents when they are old.
