Do preschoolers ask for a baby brother or sister?

Question

I'm curious to find out if children ages 3-10 ask for a baby brother or sister. Do your children? A relatives? I wanted one when I was 10ish. I got one!! :) Now I'm a parent myself and wonder if my children will ask the same thing. Thanks!!

Answer 1

my daughter wants me to have baby so bad, she tried to hide my birth control pills in the past (she knows mommy takes the pills to keep the babies away).  

Answer 2

Yes, they love babies at that age and they really want to bond with other kids - they know there is no bond like a sibling - I'm sure they will.

Answer 3

I didn't ask for one, but I got one any way, my mom thought I was lonely. my dad didn't want another kid(:

but oh well

I was 1 when my sister was born and then like three day's later, my birthday, she came home, weird huh?

(:

Answer 4

Most kids do. I have a cousin that is almost 7 and see really wants a little brother or sister and her mom can't have any more so she was really bummed. My other cousin had a baby at 17 and so she finally had a play mate. If you don't want any more just find a relative who has a little one and have them bring their little one around so your child can get their fill of baby time. Good luck.

Answer 5

Nope, our only-son doesn't want a sibling because he's hear the younger ones will break his toys.

Answer 6

my daughter is 3 and she has been asking for a new baby for a long time lucky for her my husband and I both want the same thing LOL she hasn't said if she want a brother or a sister I don't think she will care

Answer 7

My four year old has a little brother (he's not quite two), and has made it perfectly clear she does NOT want another sibling.  I have a niece who is two months old and she loves to hold the baby and is fascinated by her, but certainly does not want another sibling of her own.
