talk to your parents about this… are you an only child??

do you like little siblings?

maybe you could tell your parents how you feel and maybe you could all come up with a sensible solution :) i hope…..

ok… i know EXACTLY how you feel… in situations like this you think….ask yourself…do i really want this…

Most people have that kind of response when there’s any change in the family. I freaked out when my mom was pregnant with my sister, even though I got along with my younger brother just fine.

If you’re dad’s idea was out of the blue, then it’s probably a little shocking. Talk to your parents so that they know you’re confused about this. Maybe your dad will explain things better and you’ll get a better idea of how you feel about the situation.

You need to try to sort out your feelings and talk to your parents. The reason why you are probably having happy yet sad feelings is because you might like having another sister or brother, yet you are probably wondering, “aren’t we good enough? aren’t I good enough? Don’t they love us and me?” (we and us in these sentences refer to your brother, two sisters, and yourself.) I am only guessing this because that is how I would feel. I know it may be confusing and hard, but try to sit down and let thoughts randomly flow through your mind. You’d be surprised at how much you can learn from doing this. Try it and try to sort out what thoughts on this subject make you happy, and which ones make you sad. It will help you sort out your feelings so that you can better talk to your parents. I hope this helps.
