Im not sure how I feel about it. At times I am so excited and can't wait. Then i will be really grossed out and disgusted by it. I want to be totally accepting of my new baby sister and be a role model. Someone that she will look up to. But Im not sure how to stop being weirded and grossed out about the fact she is having a baby. I get to be in the delivery room by the way. So can any tell me their experience about having a sibling that his so much younger than them. And how they dealt with everything.My mom is having her baby soon... Teens with siblings many years younger than them: advice please!?
im 15 and my little brother just turned 3
yea its kinda weird at first but then you just get over it.
they are like little sponges and they absorb everything you do, they try to do the same things you do and stuff like that. Its really cool.
And I sometimes feel like his 2nd mom because i always take care of him so it's really cool. I think you'll enjoy it.My mom is having her baby soon... Teens with siblings many years younger than them: advice please!?
What exactly is weird and gross about having a baby? You came out the same way, you know.
A baby is a miracle--when you're ready for it, which I assume she is. She's letting you in the delivery room, that's a big vote of confidence to you.
Yes, you are going to be a huge role model, take it seriously. You're old enough to help your mom with this, make sure you do.
My little sister and I are 9 years apart and at the time I had no idea really what was going on when she was pregnant.
My little sister and I don't always get along but shes only 7 and Im 16. But I know that I will always be someone that she will always turn to. it will be hard getting used to it, but you are the more mature one.
im 15 almost 16 and i have a 3 year old brother. hes my half brother but when i came home from school one day and my mom and step dad got all the kids together and told us we all kinda freaked out becuase were older and now they r having another. i got through it and the day the baby comes you wont think about grossness anymore. there will br a bundle of joy and you will be more than ecstatic. trust me. youll get over it. (:
I have two younger sisters myself, I felt the same way when the last one was born, it gets better I promise, you'll love it :)
I know exactly what you feel. I am 13, and I have a almost 10 month old baby brother. I was originally the youngest, but I have one older sister. I was crying and was mad at my parents for having a baby. I thought it was a selfish stupid mistake (he was an accident) and that the whole family would have to suffer. I felt bad for the child, because my parents are nearly 50 (48 and 50) and I knew that my sister and I would be relied on a lot. I felt betrayed.
I chose not to be in the delivery room, because I thought it would not be good to see my mother that way, and I would be fine just seeing the baby after it was born.
I started getting more excited when we found out it was a boy, and was talking about names and such. My mom wasn't quite as...nice..as yours was, meaning that she did not let us pick most of it. We wanted a girl (and even though this could not be picked) it was a boy. We wanted to paint his room Robin's egg/Tiffany Blue with Brown decorations, but she chose this weird blue-green. We wanted to name him Liam (I wanted Liam Michael) but my mom wanted Reilly Finn, and named him Rylan Finn.
Now that he is born, i can't imagine my life without him. Yes, basically my whole life is my brother. I still hang out with friends and such, but I can't make noise between 9:30 and 11 AM, 2 and 3 PM and 6:30 to 7 PM, because he is napping. I watch him and play with him at least 20 minutes a day, and you don't realize how much care goes into a baby until you live with one (it's a great form of birth control!). They can never be left alone. If your mom wants to go somewhere and not take the baby, boom! You're babysitting. That's just the way it is.
Then there comes breastfeeding. If your mom breastfeeds, be prepared to see your mom's boobs a lot! You can't feed the baby by yourself for about 6 months, so your mom will be flashing everyone everytime the baby is hungry. It is kind of embarrassing in public, but you get used to it. It has to happen.
Good luck! It might be tough for a little, and I had no idea what to feel, but I love my brother with all my heart, and I know you will too!
I've just turned 15 and I have a little sister- adopted- who is five. Also, my dad and step mom have month old twins. My real mom and step dad also have three day old triplets. Trust me- HECTIC! But they're all so adorable I wouldn't give them up for the world. Also, between me and my older brother there's a 13yr gap. I guess my parents like taking their time.
Trust me, if you don't want to be grossed out, don't be in the delivery room. That's just something you really shouldn't see. I made that mistake with the twins and regretted the second my little brother started making an appearance. I had to leave immediately before I puked. Just wait outside and be excited! I know that when you're out there it will feel like an eternity before anything happens, but the second you're told you've got a little sister, and you see her, you'll fall in love.
The relationship with her will just come naturally. There will be times when you're not sleeping more than two hours a night and you just want to take her away, but as soon as she gets over that stage, it will be the most awesome thing in the world.
You probably will be her biggest role model. My five year old sister said I'm her biggest role model. Besides Dora the Explorer of course. Have fun!
Btw, the name you've chosen is really adorable.
I am 27 now but was 16 when my first brother was born. The idea of how my mom got pregnant grossed me out, it still does. It's a hard thing to go from only child to big sister no matter what the age, maybe even harder once you have been the only for so long. Babies take a lot of attention and time away from you so don't take it personally. On the up side my mom didn't have as much time to keep an eye on me since she was busy with my brother which was a relief. The good thing that came out of it was that I saw exactly how hard it was to be a parent so was careful not to become one until I was ready. Most of my friends had babies between 17-20yrs old because they just weren't aware enough to be careful.
Over all it was fun to have a baby brother. I got to play with him and he did look up to me, still does.
Well it's going to be hard on everyone, but especially with you. A lot of attention is going to go to the new baby and you just have to be happy for your family no matter what. Your little sister is going to look up to you so just always be there for her, its actually a wonderful thing. By the time she is in high school she look up to you and tell you everything so just take it easy and help your mom.
plus its cool you got to name her that's an instant bond with her already!
If you don't want to be grossed out, don't be in the delivery room. I was giving birth, and I was kind of grossed out.
I think when there are several years between siblings, it comes naturally for the older to look after the younger, instead of being ';a friend';.
There is only 5 year between my sister and I, but there is 13 years between a good friend of mine, and his little sister. He's kind of like a second father to her.
You and your sisters relationship will form naturally, over time, as you get to know one another. In the mean time, just be the best that you can be.
I'm 16, almost 17 and my mom just had twin boys 9 weeks ago, but i was completely thrilled by it, and i already had a son of my own lol, who was already 3/1/2 months old by the time she had the babies, so that's a different from ur situation. Plus i already had 4 older sibs and 2 younger sibs (by adoption), so addin 2 more babies to the mix wasn't all that bad, and right now they are both in the NICU still cuz they were born prematurley. As for u gettin over bein weirded and grossed out about the fact she is having a baby, i'm not sure how to help u their cuz to me that's not weird or gross, but maybe if u just keep tellin urself it'll be fun and excitin have a baby in the house that may work. Sorry if i'm not more help, but to me babies are the most precious things ever and i just can't imagine bein weired out ro grossed out by the fact that my mom was havin a baby, so yea, but that's just me. Lol ok yea not bein much help here huh, sorry about that.
I was 14 when my mom had my younger sister. I didn't feel grossed out but it did feel weird to have a sibling so much younger than me. But as soon as she was born I fell in love. I love that little girl like my own daughter and she loves me. It feels so good that she looks up to me, she's always saying things like I want to dress like you and not like mom. Don't worry I'm sure as soon as you see her you will love her too. When she's older you will still be young and you can help her fix her hair or teach her about boys.
