Whilst I too agree with what the others have said in that she most likely didn't mean that she thinks you 'hate' her, I hear you when you say that you think she is trying to explain how she feels. Is it likely that DD2 is feeling 'put out' by the new baby? I think the talking to your girls is a good idea, but perhaps you could also try and 'do' things to help your DD understand that you do love and appreciate her. I imagine it would be very difficult with a 1 month old baby to give your older girls time, but is it possible to set aside some 'special' time with each girl at some point during the day? Maybe they can choose something they would like to do during that time and you can have some wonderful 1:1 time together. It doesn't have to be a huge length of time.... Perhaps that would help them to see how much you do love and care for them?
