Jealous of DD1 - A Mommy Vent

Mrs.RockyMMrs.RockyM member
in October 2012 Moms

When DD1 was born, it was all about me.  She was constantly looking for me, she'd always turn to hear my voice, she'd arch her back and contort to look at me.  She absolutely adored me.  She'd be in everyone's arms, looking for me, wanting me to hold her.  I knew DH was upset and it was clear that she loved him, but nobody could ever come close to competing with mommy.  Secretly though, I loved it.  I just felt like it was her and I against the world.  We were forever a team. 

Then came DD2.  Well, I'm still super important, but clearly the apple of DD2's eye is DD1!  I'm seriously jealous of a 4 year old. I can't compete with her constant singing and dancing. I can't stand it.  It drives me insane. 

And yes, I'm happy my girls adore each other, but still I'm still a little jealous.

    Oh momma I am sorry you are feeling this way! I know it must be disturbing to feel like you are number 2. Is there a way you could keep DD2 up for a little bit after DD1 goes to bed so that you can be the bees knees even just for ten minutes? I guess you can always look at it like this, you have a free entertaing babysitter when you need to get stuff done!

    Oh man I freaking love how much DD2 adores DD1 it makes my life so much easier b/c she can entertain her while I get stuff done. She even feeds her the babyfood for me in the kitchen while I make dinner sometimes. However DD1 has always been a Daddy's girl and DD2 is defeintly more a Mommy's girl so I guess I am just thrilled with that.

    You will grow out of these feelings, but I think jealousy is a normal emotion to feel!

    This!  DD is a HUGE help, because she can entertain DS for long periods of time!

    My boys are like that.  I was DS1 favorite by far. DS2 loves DS1 more than anyone.  I like it though.  I like that DS2 is easily entertained by others and it is not all me all the time.
