[quote=Anonymous]Oldest was 12, 2nd was 9 when Baby 3 was born. 12 was disinterested to the point of one time forgetting her name when someone asked. He completely ignored her until she was about five months and then he became Worlds Best Big Brother. 9 started out very excited and then almost dropped the baby off the changing table and worried she broke the baby and would have nothing to do with her. Eventually they got over it and became friends. I was very firm in keeping the baby (and eventually #4) away from the older kids when their friends were over. They could go say hi and then I'd take them out after two minutes. Also, if I needed them to watch the younger kids they had to do it if it was a half hour or less. If it was more, they had the option to say no and if they said yes, they got paid as a babysitter. I think both these things helped avoid any resentment on their parts.[/quote]
