Anyone in a similar situation? I can find NO info or tips on the internet.
My 15 month old, practically since birth, has always been mean and irritable around her 6 year old sister.
It hurts my six-year-old’s feelings because she is very sensitive and would do anything for her sister. She is a sweet empathetic girl, so it makes her feel miserable that her sister doesn’t appear to like her.
I see lots of information about helping older siblings cope with a baby, but we never had that problem. Always the opposite. Our 15 month old hits, scratches, punches, and yells at her sister. If she tries to comfort her or give her a hug when she falls or bumps her head, our 15 month old screams bloody murder at her.
She desperately wants to be able to play with her and be on the receiving end of hugs, kisses, and love, but I just don’t see it ever happening and it’s quite sad.
Our 15 month old is high maintenance, has a temper, but is generally sweet and loving to us and family- just not her sister.
