What did your children say when you gave them the news that they were getting a new brother or sister?

Question

I was talking to my mom about how we intend to have another child, and my mom told me that when I was a child, (about 5) and they told me about my new brother, I pointed at my framed keepsake birth certificate and said " Is that why you kept my reciept?"

So that got me thinking about it. I asked my husband what he thought when his 6 siblings were born, and aparently, at the anouncement of his youngest brother, his sister asked "Is it time for an upgrade already?"

So I was just wondering if your older children said anything cute when they heard "the big news"

Answer 1

I found out about my little brother, when I was about 6 and I was used to being the little girl. We had moved into a temporary apartment with only 2 bedrooms; our house was being renovated. I already had an older brother and sister. My reaction was,

"So who we kickin' out?"



LOL! :]

Answer 2

My son is so far an only child but I still have the memory from when my own parents told me they were having my little sister, I was four at the time, I jumped up and down on the sofa before running over and putting my hand on my mum's flat stomach, I can't remember what I said directly afterwards but I remember moments later asking the dreaded "How do you make a baby?" and my parents telling me they came from cuddling, and I hugged one of them and said "Will I have a baby now?" and they said no it was a special kind of cuddling that only adults can do... I think that was enough information to satisfy me! Then I went on to ask why the baby didn't fall out when my mum took her top off at night... but my memory evades me as to what the answer to that one was!

Answer 3

My daughter at age 2 began asking for a sister because her friends at Sunday School were becoming big brothers and sisters already. She asked and asked. When she was nearly 3.5 she found out her cousin was coming. For a while she did not say anything because her 'sissy' was coming. Three days before Xmas she got her 'sissy.' But two months later since my niece did not live with us, she asked again for a sister. And until she was 6 she kept asking. In May the year I found out I was pregnant with my son we told her. She was so over joyed. She was determined she was gonna have a sister. I told her it could be a boy. She kept to her choice. She was given the choice of names for a girl and her dad got to pick for the boy. I explained things as time went by about her new sibling. I even had her go to one doctor visit where they just do the weight and measurement checks. She got to hear his heartbeat. I think that she bonded early on with her brother. Two months before her Birthday she got a brother. I have pictures of her holding him or sitting with him. I never saw a older sibling be so proud as she was when he came. It did not seem to matter that he was a boy after all. Now they are teenagers....they are as close now as they were then. It is a special bond that they share.



Two years ago, their dad and step mom became parents of a new girl. So 15 years after she started asking for a sister she got one. Now they are about to be big sibs again...another girl...so she got two. My son is close to his other baby sister and I have a feeling he will be with this one too.
