The Inevitable

Like death and taxes, it had to come sooner or later. Call it what you will, Terrible Two's, Sibling Rivalry or one of the select few (unprintable) phrases I use, it's here. I knew it was too good to last. I got sucked in, just the same as all those other parents who think their kid is better than everyone elses around them. Fat chance!

BB has finally decided to show some signs of jealousy towards his brother. Granted, it could be worse, at least he's not poking his younger siblings eyes out or trying to help him down the stairs yet. It seems that in missing his dad, he decided to continuously clamp himself to his mother. I can see why that makes feeding and changing a small baby difficult.
He looked genuinely pleased to have dad home too, but not so he can get his daddy time. Oh no, dad has to get his LL time, so BB can have mummy all to himself. Not for the first time, the goalposts have shifted, only the parents have been last to react.....again. Will we ever learn?
