I guess the issue really arises when DD1 needs a cuddle or comforting while DD2 is up. DD1 isn't good at waking up and needs cuddling to ease her into the day. She also needs comforting if she gets so much as a scratch (which is often) so if I try to do this DD2 loses it and will even bang her head on the floor in a mega-tanty (I ignore this too).
Oh I was thinking of it to be more of DD1 getting upset by her time being ambushed!
Um I guess ignoring it is the best idea but maybe can you pick her up and deposit her on some carpet. C dude did some major headbutting tantrums for a while there and I'd put him in his room. He was a bit older though, closer to 2 I think so he caught on quickly that all he got out of it was a sore head
No DD1 is pretty good - she just whinges "make her stop pulling my hair/hitting me/screaming"
We have floorboards and tiles, only 1 rug in the house. I'm sure she will get the hint that it hurts pretty soon - DD1 did the same at the same age and stopped it pretty quickly when she realised that it hurt
I have noticed just recently if I am cuddling DD1 then DD2 quickly comes up crying and trying to get to me, then I have to tell them one side each while they try shove the other one off! Thank god Ive only got 2, lol, cant imagine squeezing another in the fight!
yeah we have it here, originally it was DD getting jealous when DS came along but now if I am cuddling DD like today as she isn't well he starts screaming and carrying on like a pork chop, he is such a mummies boy, which is lovely but not when I need to give my DD cuddles to make her feel better. Poor girl, now that I am writing this I am feeling quite sorry for her as she doesn't get as many cuddles as she used to and puts up with alot more these days.....
