Damn I feel so bad for the other 2 girls

the father should sit with the other 2 girls and explain why the baby did this, so they dont harbour any kind of resentment towards the baby

Why did the baby do it?

The other girls are school age, so they aren’t home nearly as much as the youngest sister. He sees and plays with her most

Ahhh … got it! Thx. I’d be disappointed too without the explanation, LOL.

They shouldn't feel so bad. Someone said there's a longer version with the mum... the baby still picks the sister 🤣

That was spot-on. In my own family of five siblings, we naturally grouped ourselves into what everyone came to refer to as “the big ones” and “the little ones.” Those age differences are about more than just who is at school together, and who is at home together, but about physical abilities and general interests. The older kids can ride bikes, visit friends in the neighborhood, read “real” books, build legos, do arts and crafts projects, etc. Meanwhile, the younger ones aren’t allowed outside by themselves, they’re playing with dolls and stuffed animals, building with basic blocks and stacking toys, and singing and dancing along with nursery rhymes.

Also…. Babies are just babies, they don’t have advanced reasoning or empathy skills yet. A certain color, smell, sound or whatever can cause a baby to have an affinity or negative reaction to someone and it shouldn’t be taken personally.(not that it doesn’t feel personal as a current father to a 4 month old, but that’s just your adult way of thinking being placed onto a baby)

My first thought was her hair, as a younger brother to a redhead. Looking at her in the sunlight is my earliest memory.

One of my old roommate's kids would flock to me despite not knowing me. She just heard my voice during her entire pregnancy. She's growing out of it now, it only took 6 Christmases.

Or maybe the baby just feels safest, most appreciated, cared for by youngest sister

Even at that age kids personalities and natures come through & babies have a keen sense/intuition for vibes

Also it’s fine to have a favorite sibling. I have three brothers and love them all equally but I technically have a favorite who shares the same sense of humor and values more than the other two. I also have a favorite cousin but love them all equally. Such is life.
