I don't usually do posts without pictures so bare with me. I just want to get some advice from other mom's that have more than one kid. Lately we are having all kinds of trouble with Price being mean to Hayes. Of course it escalates the more mobile Hayes becomes. Price just yells at him and says mean things like "You can't play with me" or takes things away from him claiming that Hayes is a baby and cannot have whatever toy it may be. He also pushes him down when Hayes pulls up on things that he is playing with. He's not hitting him or being violent with him, he's just rude and uses such an ugly tone when Hayes does something he doesn't like. It's just frustrating. I want him to love his little brother and enjoy spending time with him. It's not always like this but it seems to be happening more and more. Price just really likes his space and Hayes obviously has no idea about how to leave him alone! Other moms, will this get better and what should I be doing to make it better? Thanks in advance for any advice!

We are in the same boat now with Latham and the way he sometimes treats Addyson as she is able to wiggle herself around now. I'm bracing for World War III once she really starts crawling. Sometimes he's the nicest, most loving big brother and then other times I just think, "What in the world were you thinking when you did that? (push her over while she's sitting up, etc.) I'll be interested to see the advice too.
Don't worry...its a commonality I'm afraid with all older and younger siblings. Walker is possessive of his toys, but oh what great lessons they are learning of sharing and being nice with their own brother/ sister before they are rude and such with friends, etc.
Gotta love their feisty-ness huh? :)
In the boat with you, ejw
