[QUOTE="Star*, post: 114261, member: 4964"] MWM, I think that we can love our children individually - but sibling love never seems to transcend the barriers we face each day as parents with children who are challenged. When he sees his Mom - he sees the total package. Mom, all the kids, caring, understanding. And right now he's hyperfocused on HIS FIRST NEWBORN CHILD. That's a lot to be focused on. I think he's probably trying to eliminate MORE stress surrounding the birth of his child and NOT trying to make it seem like his brother isn't welcome. His brother is welcome - the added stress AT THIS TIME - isn't. Remember when you had YOUR first kid? Yeah - something like that. Doubt, apprehension, fear, worry, all at the speed of birth. And then it does subside - As far as being able to "get" there to help and finances. Hotwire.com has awesome flight offers. I think this is a time when you are just going to have to understand that the unselfish children that you raised - are worried and naturally going to be selfish - he probably just wants you there for himself, wife and baby. You will figure this out. But I'd go alone. Hugs Star [/QUOTE]
