DS2 is DS1's go to best friend during various moments. 2 and 3 are similar to twins due to the short gap.
It will work out, is what I'm hoping to convey.
Step one: acknowledge the guilt as it is. These are emotions siblings must feel for themselves. Not everything can be equal, but as long as there's fairness and love, it'll be fine.
And I agree, the age of 3 overshadows the supposed terrible 2s. Traumatic 3s as I used to call them...
Congratulations!

Thank you, We are very excited to be finally having a second. I hope it's true that it will work out. I'm sure it probably won't be as bad as I am thinking but I worry because he is bad at sharing and often tries to hit and kick other kids and gets mad at other kids easily. Hopefully it will have a positive effect on him and maybe having a sibling he will learn to get along better.
