[QUOTE="Shadow89, post: 467319, member: 12944"] She did actually start around the time that I became pregnant. So a little before she actually turned five. (which was in may) and he was born in late July which is when it really increase. We also had to go to the hospital twice a week for the last three months of the pregnancy and we were always in and out of the hospital and I know she hated that. So I dont think that helped with the sibling thing. She seems to really like him, she helps me bathe him feed him play with him and what not but I can see where she would think that we love him more even thought that is totally not true. He does take a lot of attention, and it seems like the only attention she gets is all negative. So tonight were doing a milkshake night for her, watching a movie and then building a haunted gingerbread house and making Halloween decor. So hopefully if we give her more positive attention and really pick and choose the negative attention we will see progress. I just cant believe how much her personality changed in just a few months. It truly makes me want to get "fixed". I was also thinking about what has changed in the last few weeks that would make her get in trouble at school twice in one week. My dad passed away quite suddenly three weeks ago he had a heart attack and she knew about that and then not even a week later he passed away in his sleep. She wasnt very close to him because he was quite grumpy but I think I became a little withdrawn from everyone including her for a few days and maybe that had something to do with her behavior at school? Or maybe she cared about him more than I thought. We did live with him for three years of her life, but she didnt seem really upset when he passed. I told her he went to heaven and that he was watching over us. She seemed more worried because she thought that only old people die, and he was in his early 60's and then she became more worried about nana passing away, she has an amazing bond with my mom. But I told her that when its our time its our time and its nothing to be frightened of, that when she dies she will go to heaven and be happy. Were not really religious but she really likes reading the childrens bible and learning about it so I try and support her with that. I dont know its just a thought, thank you all for your advice it truly means a lot. [/QUOTE]
