[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][b]Have you actually see any excluding behavior by the mom?[/b] Sounds partly like being 12. 12 is hard. Being ESSENTIALLY an only child until 12 is even harder. If you have a good relationship with the mom, mention that you are willing to baby sit the newborn for an afternoon if they want any solo mother-daughter bonding time. [/quote] No I haven't witnessed it. I'm taking her word for it. But you're, it could come from being her mom's only child for 12 years.[/quote] I think the point is that she is feeling left out, and that's how you should raise the issue. It could be moody 12 year old acts like she doesn't want mom around, but then when mom is busy with the baby she feels slighted. Or she could be reading the situation correctly-I had a friend growing up whose mom was so not interested in her any more when she had a new mom and a new baby-it was very sad.[/quote]
