My little mindee's mum has just had a new baby - he is 6 days old. Mindee is still being sent to me for 9 hours a day despite both mum and dad being at home with his baby brother. Mindee is almost 2 and a half and I think he realises that mummy and daddy are at home as he will say 'mummy home; daddy home; baby home' wheras before it was 'mummy work, etc'
I've seen a change in behaviour these last few days towards my other little mindee who is 15 months. When I first had baby mindee my other one was very jealous and would take stuff off him, etc. Over the last 3 months we have been working on this and things have improved considerably.
However over the last few days he has been taking Le's dummy off him; pushing him; sitting on him and generally not being very nice towards him.
I have spoken to dad about this change in behaviour and that it seems to have coincided with the arrival of the new baby.
He only has 4 days left with me before he finishes but I just feel that his behaviour is getting worse towards Le and I think he is reacting to being sent to me whilst everyone else is at home together. What would you guys do? Would you suggest that perhaps he would be better at home or just grin and bear it for the rest of this week and the 3 days of next? I have no idea what he will be like on Monday after spending a weekend at home with them all.
