My son is jealous of my unborn baby.

It's totally natural that your son is feeling a little jealous and put out. He has almost 3 years of your undivided attention. He's bound to be saying "I'm here as well and he is still only a baby himself. Do you involve your son in your pregnancy? Have you had any scans? if not take your little boy along with you and tell him his new brother or sister cannot wait to come out so they can play together. You could perhaps allow your little boy to chose your new baby's name as well. I had a friend who did this and it worked a treat. When your new baby is born buy your son a little token gift and say "This is a present off your new brother/ sister.
When he/she is born involve your soon in all aspects of caring for new baby. I would also explain to relatives and friends that although they will they will naturally want to make a fuss of your new baby that it is also important that they make a fuss of your first born as well, as if he is over looked this will only provoke jealousy. It's only natural. I remember my friend was concerned about her daughter feeling left out when she had her second child and I made the point of buying her a gift as well as the baby and I also bought her a badge that said "I'm a big sister".

Congratulations on your good news. xx

I read "unborn" as "unicorn" and I thought to myself,"Why does she have a unicorn baby?".

It's normal for kids to be jealous of the of their unborn siblings. However, I am concerned about how you said that he's "very aggressive and vengeful" and his inability to understand exactly how much he is hurting people which is why I take that he's being home schooled. I'm disturbed by that. Has he seen a child therapist?! There has to be some kind of way to make sure that he doesn't hurt his baby sibling when its born. You need to do something about this now or it will cause a lot of problems later on!!!!!

The not wanting a baby sibling is totally normal. I felt the same way and told my parents to get a dog instead when i was 8. They did and it was fine. What ISN'T normal is such severe agression that he can't go to school or be around other kids. I don't know what people are thinking getting knocked up when thry can't even handle the one they have. You need to nip this in the bud now before he is getting kicked out of school and setting fires. If you have trouble handling it NOW can you imagine when the kid is born??

It's normal to have sibling rivalries, and there will be fights, but you're going to have to parent them through it. Sounds lie he's not sure you're going to continue to love him.

You need to take your son to see someone. If he's so aggressive he cannot be around other children he may need to be put on meds. What if he were to hurt or kill your newborn? Sounds like he has mental issues, get him under control so he doesn't do something terrible to your youngest!!

My cousin told his mom when she was pregnant with his little sister that when she was born he was going to leave her out in the front yard to starve and now three years later if she even looks at something sharp or dangerous he takes it and hides it. Don't worry, your son will be fine.

When I was born, my sister was two, and she was that jealous she smashed a glass bottle on my head.

When I was born, my sister was two, almost three and, according to my parents, she was tremendously jealous of me. She even asked my parents to take me back to the hospital after I was born. We grew up like average siblings. Most of the time we got along but we'd fight here and there as any sisters would. It's normal. Just sibling rivalry. I believe a majority of kids discovering that their parents are about to have another child, inevitably hog the attention, go through this. It's just part of being an older sibling, I guess.
