The last couple of months my dd doesnt want her brother anywhere around. If she is playing on the computer and he comes to see her she runs to her room and locks her door. And when she comes home from school and she says brother is sleeping and I say no she says no brother needs to go to sleep. Every chance she gets she wants him to go to bed. I dont understand this. I understand that she wants some alone time but its like she is annoyed with him and doesnt want him around. Sure there are sometimes she plays with him,but most the time lately she gets very mad that he is awake and is playing and so she goes and stays in her room except to go to the bathroom and when she is done she will run back to her room and lock her door. And her poor brother that is 2 wants to play with her so bad that he lays down at the bottom of the door and yells her name and says open the door.
I dont know what to do? Is she jealous of him? Does she want more one on one time with me? I dont know why she is doing this.
thats bizzar, i know me and my sis definatly had our issues, man... i did not want that much alone time until i got older, could you simply ask her her reason why she insists he be sleeping? Maby shes not used to him being a toddler, she maby just rememberes him always him his crib as a baby, so she never had to interact with him like now, now hes more mobile, and more active, now he has the power to confront her whereas b4 he did not?????Dara is like this but she is a teen so I think this is why for her. I think our quote normal kids are jealous of the time their special siblings require from Mom. I trade off in who goes to the store with me now. Our kids also spend some days with dad at work and some days home with mom not together most of the time. Try and have some girl only times with her. Like trips for nails done and a meal out with her friends and their mom's also. Last year our kids wheer at different school so when she was off we had a special day with Mom and on his days off we did something special together. Our daughter is a 9th grader this year.
