[quote=Anonymous]I am sorry OP, that is hard. My kids are farther apart (Ds was 3 yrs 9 months when we had DS2). However, one day DS1 told me "sometimes I wish that you would do something for me first," I realized how I had been putting the babies needs before his 100% of the time and that wasn't really necessary. So the next time DS1 asked for something I made a big deal of telling the baby "Hold on baby, I have to do something for your brother." The baby cried for a bit, but it was all of 1 minute or less to do what it was my older son needed. The baby was obviously fine. And DS1 was a lot happier. From that point on I tried to do one thing a day where I clearly put DS1 first so he wouldn't feel so pushed out. [/quote]
