Moms of 2 kid or more

Is it normal for your kids to rather want to spend time with their sibling than their mom/dad? This morning my DS got up first and we were sitting downstairs. He didn't want to sit with me, eat breakfast, watch cartoons, nothing. He just kept looking at the stairs and asking "where sissy?". Once she woke up and started coming downstairs it was seriously like an on switch went on. He jumped up, ran to her, squeezed her and wouldn't stop squealing "morning sissy, I love you.". When she is at school he asks about her every hour at least once.

Don't get me wrong it is adorable and I love that they love each other so much and are so close. But it does make me a little sad they are 95% of the time they are together in their own world and my DH and I are only a part of it when they need something. They are 5 and 2 1/2.

Id looooove it

My boys are 3 and 1 and are just now starting to play together a lot. I'm in my glory!

My kids are 3 1/2 years old and 7 1/2 months old and they adore each other. But DS2 is a mama's boy lol.

My daughter tells me to get out when she and her brother are playing together.    Sometimes it's nice, and sometimes I'm like, "Just love me!" haha.

Yep.
I haven't seen my kids yet because they're all too busy playing ponies.

my kids wake up and set in their room and wait for each other to get up. then they play til they are hungrey. they dont come in and tell they are up. when i go in to say morning they uh morning and continue waiting/playing. when DS goes to school he gets up gets dressed and kisses lil sis and lil brother before he leaves. if we take one somewhere (say while the other two are at school or we go take one to the dr) and they get something they will refuse it unless they can get the others something. we are expecting baby #4 and they already cant wait. they currently are saving their allowances to buy the baby something special from them (something they all can use to play with baby). if we are at someones house with other kids and one of those kids does want to play with one of mine they will play alone together. Im glad they have that bond though.

That is how I feel. :/ Sometimes it is so cute but there are times I just want them to spend time with me. LOL I feel like I am crazy sometimes.

My babies do this too! If one wakes up first, they immediately wake the other up. Bethany (2.5) knows exactly when it's time to go big her Heath up from school. They are adorable!

My son is 6 and my daughter is 2 and they are each other's beat friends. Thy play together all day and when ds goes to school dd asks where he is all day. She knows when she gets up from her nap that it's time to go get bubba so she always wakes up with a HUGE smile saying "gotta to get bubba. Yay!!" it's so cute. When thy watch a movie in my bed dd alwasy lays in the crook of ds's arm. Its painfuly adorable. I love how much they love each other and I hope this one fits in just as perfectly.
I do sometimes wish I got as much attention but then I would never use time to get anything else done. Lol

My kids are like that. DD is almost 2, DS is 5 1/2. They play in their room for like an hour at a time. DD wants to do everything he does. Shes into lightsabers and wearing capes and Hot Wheels because he is. It's so cute.

My older two are 4 (on the 11th) and 3 (in April) and they are like this. If one is sick and stays home instead of going to school, they ask where Bubby/Sissy is the whole day. They hold hands anytime we are out and they are walking.

I love it! I think it is absolutely adorable.

i cant wait until my 2 boys can play together like that. my toddler will be 2 on the 27th of this month and i have a 5 month old. my toddler tries to play with my lo all the time but hes just not old enough yet. I am so looking forward to the day they can keep each other entertained for a little while and not have to be with me every min of every day
