Jealously

WH is showing sign of jealousy when I spent time with JS. He’s seeking for equal attention from me. Whatever the sister’s asking from me, he wants it too.

Whenever I said who wants a hug, both will rush to me at the same time. Sometimes I didn’t ask, I just quietly hug JS, WH will drop whatever he’s doing and come asking for a hug too. When I’m playing fingers or hands games with JS, WH also wants the same. When I piggy back JS, WH also asked for it. When JS asked me to smell her mouth after she brushed her teeth, WH also follows.

JS asked me to craddle her ” Mummy, rock-a-bye baby me” so I craddled her and sing the lullaby to her. WH was very angry and started to push JS away hard from me and he was crying. He pointed to the bed where JS used to sleep and said “Jie Jie”, he pointed to JS position and said “baby , baby”, he just won’t allow me to craddle JS like a baby , as though that’s his privilege…. this boy has certainly grown.

When I read or sing to the kids and I have more eye contact with WH, JS would protest and say “mummy, why you never sing/read to me” She is seeking equal attention from me as well.

JS is particulary jealous and feel threaten when hubby’s around. When I spent more time with hubby and talk to hubby, sure JS will “kacau” us.
