[quote=Anonymous]I have a teen, a tween, and a 3 month old. For what it's worth, I think this whole thing lives and dies on the kind of kid your older child is. My teen thinks the baby is cute, but he's not that interested in being so involved. But he is a pretty self-sufficient guy and so he isn't bothered by the amount of time the baby gets from me. And he sees his time at his dad's as a nice break from the midnight crying.

My tween is OBSESSED with babies and little kids. She dotes on her cousins and my friends' younger kids. So she is beyond excited about this baby and wants to spend all her time with us. She's had some upset moments about leaving to go to her dad's house, but we send lots of photos and videos by text and she skypes with the baby every night when she's gone.

If either of them was a different sort of kid, like one that needed much more of my attention or got jealous easily, this would be a disaster. My husband and I talked a lot before going down this road and the nature of my older kids was a big deciding factor.[/quote]
