Older SK taking baby’s toys

Jmariel8's picture

So I have a 8 month old and my SS10 keeps taking the babies toys. Has that happened to anyone else? He says he wants to be the baby and lays on the babies play mats when I put the baby to play and pretends to cry, now he wants to take baths again and wants bath toys which he hasn't done since he was 5. I get there might be some jealousy but his father gives him undivided attention when he's here to the point where I don't even exist. Is it wrong to want him not to play with the babies toys? He has his own toys he never plays with and I mean these are typical baby baby toys rattles, Teethers, stuffed animals. He tells me to put him to sleep already and calls him annoying if he cries. I'm curious as to how others in similar situations deal with it.

Hon, I've read your previous blogs and have concluded that your SS and his jealous behaviour is the least of your problems. You married a Disney Dad who is not only enmeshed with his ex-wife and her family but has made it clear that his first son (your SS) will always be the most important person in his life (...that's MY SON!). 

Quite frankly, were I in your situation, I'd have bailed before your little guy was born.

End this shit now.

Dad is the problem. You know that right?  Put your foot up DHs ass and the 10yo's ass and make sure they both understand that neither of them will be tolerated to interfere with the baby's turn to be a baby.

Make sure that DH knows that infantile men are not in any way appealing and he either pulls his head out of his own ass or he and his failed family spawn are gone.

10 yr old is too old to be reverting to infancy, jealousy or not.  Again Dad is the problem.  Also:

1. Do not let SS10 anywhere near your child and certainly not let alone with him. 

2.  DO NOT HAVE ANOTHER CHILD WITH THIS MAN. 

He has shown he can't parent properly and will probably fail at parenting your child as well.    10 is awful old to turn that ship around.   Although in guilty daddy fashion, hec will probably have higher expectations for your baby than be does frim "his highness."

As for the toys, I would treat him like a baby (early bedtime, naps, ask if he wants his bottle and a diaper, no vid games bc babies don't play with vid games, etc)  Of course this will make you the ogre and "dad" won't back you up.  Ask me how I know.
