[quote=Anonymous]I’d say definitely affirm DD1’s feelings, and tell her you look forward to whe it is a little easier for everyone to play together at the same time. Maybe try to proactively find things you can do with DD1 while DD2 is around (“I can’t play play Mobil with you right now, but how about a game of hide and seek?”). My 6.5 yo is very into fairness, so if the one-on-one time actually is pretty even (which it sounds like it might be, at least on weekdays, assuming you are probably doing some cooking/chores after work in addition to playing with the toddler), can you show her that with a typical daily schedule? I think you’d need to be careful to do it in a way that wasn’t denying her feelings of missing you, but I think it can be done in a way that might make her feel better. After all, I’m sure you both wish there were more hours in the day for everyone to spend together.[/quote]
