[quote=Anonymous]At family gathering, my 3 year old niece wanted to play with my baby girl (4 months), but my 4 year old son wanted my niece to play with him instead & also blocked her from holding the baby, and claims "it is his!". Two kids fought whom baby belongs to, and then baby got upset & cried. My niece then went off crying & begged her parents for a baby/sibling, then somehow her parents  had a little verbal fight (one wants 1 child only, one wants 2 kids) on spot saying who's fault was that. At the end, baby was at my hand, and no one can hold her anymore. At the end, parents encourage 2 kids to play together. Finally, everyone is happy.

It is not the first time I hear my niece asking for a baby since I was pregnant. SIL came to DH for help in persuading her husband for another child, but as an outsider, it is their big decision to made. They earn good money, but just one parent (BIL) think that raising 1 child is already expensive & exhausting. How can I prevent this fighting for baby from happening again next time? I mean, baby was scared the whole time, and I was scared that she got hurt by accident. I think I will just wear the baby the whole time next time if there are no other better choices.
