It has come to my attention that your parents are about to introduce a new addition to the family—a baby sibling. While adults might refer to this as “having a sibling,” let’s not be misled. What they’re really doing is opting for a newer model. This Baby 2.0 may seem exciting to them, but what does that mean for you? It could feel like you’re being displaced from the comfort of your crib.
Let’s take a moment to reflect on your current status: the reigning monarch of your household. However, your soon-to-arrive little sibling might not recognize your royal status. Infants tend to have little regard for hierarchy; they’re not even aware of popular shows like Game of Thrones.
Keep in mind that babies require a lot of attention, and they are quite demanding, even the latest models who you’d think would come with self-sustaining features. It would have been beneficial if Darwin had consulted with tech innovators like Steve Jobs on this matter.
In my experience, I’ve made it clear to my parents that I am not in favor of sharing my space with another baby. They respect my preferences, which is why I enjoy a delightful syrup every morning (just a Vitamin D concoction, but it feels like a royal breakfast).
Now, dear toddlers, it’s not too late to influence your parents. The baby isn’t here yet, so you still have a chance to convince them that welcoming this newcomer may not be the best idea. It’s your responsibility to remind them of the challenges that come with having a baby. Just as they strive to meet your every need—even when your mother is feeling unwell—you too can play your part.
Here are some strategies to consider:
- Become a Piece of Yarn: Pretend your legs are made of yarn that can’t support you. This will make it difficult for anyone to get you into a car seat.
- Channel Your Inner Steel Rod: If the yarn act gets old, turn into a steel rod when it’s time for travel. Remember, steel rods don’t bend, and neither should you.
- Create Colicky Behavior: Even if you’ve outgrown this phase, desperate times call for desperate measures.
- Overindulge in Carrots: Push your limits with vegetables, then expel them vigorously. This can be a weekly routine.
- Set an Alarm: Hide a clock in your crib and set it to go off frequently. This way, you can ensure your parents are awake and alert—preferably in the middle of the night.
- Avoid Cuteness: This may be tough given your natural charm, but consider smearing food on your face to diminish your appeal.
- High-Pitched Squeals: Whenever you see another baby, scream at a pitch that only dogs can hear, and hold it for a long count to emphasize your displeasure.
In conclusion, navigating the arrival of a new family member can be challenging, but with these tactics, you can make your voice heard.
