hey I was wondering if anyone has any experience with split families? I’m currently dating an amazing father of a 3-year old (soon to be 4) and we get her every other weekend and all that jazz. This is my first child and having it with him is amazing but at times my thoughts get the best of me. My question is were there any problems you may have had bringing another child into your family? How did the older sibling react and be once the child arrived? any helpful tips or things you may have went through would be so helpful!
currently she is in her stage of not wanting to listen and be sneaky and lie so we are having a bassinet in our room for when we have her after the baby is born for safety reasons.
ive had so many mixed feelings about it and my Bf and I talk about it a lot which is nice. But at times things just get to me especially since we have so much going on.
Re: Split families
No real advice because every child and situation is unique but we tried to keep most baby talk to a minimum when he was around and made sure to go out to dinner or do fun things with just him after the baby was born.
