Hey everyone. Roberta here in East Webkinz World, visiting my grandparents. Normally I LOVE seeing nana and papa…but this time? This time it’s alllll about my little brother Reid. Since we arrived, no one has talked about anything else. It’s just “Reid this” and “Reid that” and “Oh, isn’t it so cute how Reid makes faces? Look at him crawl! Reid is the BEST!”
Reid is not the best at anything! He’s just a baby. He’s not even very exciting.
And then there’s me, sitting alone in the corner, hoping someone will take notice and talk to me.
So far? No one has.
I guess I just can’t compare to the cuteness of my baby brother. And don’t get me wrong, I think Reid IS very sweet. But who is more interesting? A baby or a creative, brilliant young lady like myself?
I think the choice is pretty clear. Someone just needs to tell my family that.
I come from a big family and I have seen how this kind of thing always happens when there’s a new baby at holiday family get togethers. It stinks, but in my family the older sibs at least had cousins they could play with while the adults were fussing over the new baby, and sooner or later the baby would be put down for a nap and the fussing would temporarily end. Usually at that point the kids were engrossed in a game, so the adults would talk, but I don’t see why you couldn’t go in for some attention from your grandparents once Reid is taking his nap (I assume he’s young enough to still take one).
For the record, the best way to get attention is to put yourself in the thick of things, not sitting in the corner feeling sorry for yourself. Don’t sit sulking, my young rabbit friend; be with your family :)
*facepalm* I knew this was coming. They care about you, but it’s exciting having a new person in the family, and he’s a baby for goodness sakes-he needs the attention… that’s what makes a baby happy.
Get over it, Roberta. It is hard for anyone to compete with a new baby. It is not that they do not care about you but the baby is a new addition to the family and grandparents just cannot resist making a fuss over him.
Well he IS the baby…
I toatally under stand. I have 4 little siblings and 1 big one. Once he gets older, most things will get to normal.
Oh come on Roberta….babies aren’t THAT bad are they? Don’t worry once he’s about eight or nine everyone won’t think he’s OH SO CUTE anymore cause he probably will say: I am NOT a cute little boy! I am a BIG boy! So just try to be thankful that you have an awesome younger sibling. Cause some kids don’t have any siblings. . Thanks -mycatGinger
I have a friends who’s mom just had twin boys. This is probably going to happen to them.
When my brother was little,that happend.I know what you feel like.
Roberta, this is called jelousy. When you get a new craft item don’t you use it more than your old ones. Welllllllll, that’s Reid right now, a brand new little baby who’s just learning to crawl. Get down on the floor and play with him, let your family see how much you love him. Remember, people used to act the same way when you were little. jennifer
My baby cousin likes me, she smiles at me when I’m there, and she laughs when I make funny noises, and when I ask her in a funny voice, what are you doing?! Now she can repeat noises that I make if she finds it funny, so if I say ba ba ba, she’ll repeat it. Have fun with your brother Roberta, and maybe things won’t be so bad, because whenever I see my cousin laugh at me and repeat stuff like “Uh-oh, ” it’s all worth it!
Don’t be jealous Roberta. Grandparents like the little ones best! They’ll look at you again soon, lol, so don’t worry! Don’t be jealous! ♥
Geez, Roberta. Don’t take it around as your grandparents don’t care about you, they just wanna spend time with Reid. I mean, he’s new to the world, new to the family. People act like that with little ones. Just play with Reid. remember, he’s new. ;) ✖Chicago Made✖
Sorry guys, I haven’t had any time to post comments like for 3 months or something like that. Wonder if anybody remebers me… I haven’t been on WW either, just like once to check my account and send stuff. I have a full account now. :lol: Long story short. Roberta, you know what? You’re kind of being selfish. Look, when you were younger, I bet everyone fussed over you like that. Seriously, Roberta, YOU HAVE TO UNDERSTAND YOU CAN’T ALWAYS BE IN THE CENTER OF ATTENTION! Sorry for the caps. All these ‘Kinz problems… I’m sure almost all of them can be solved by communicating. Communication is the key! Tell your parents, that you feel left out or something like that, but don’t go way too overboard. ~SugarComet***
Roberta is jealous ooh!!! Don’t worry Roberta, it’s your grandparents’ first time seeing Reid. And try not to be so jealous. In fact, play along with them! If you made like little hats or baby bibs for him, put them on Reid and go all “Ooh doesn’t Reid look so cute with my handmade baby clothes?” ~*Star Shine*~
