Today, my husband and I broke the news that I'm pregnant. Our 8-year-old son's reactions so far have been crying inconsolably, trying to punch me in the stomach, and swearing that he won't let me give him a brother or sister. FML

My sister was very upset when we found out we were getting a younger sister too. It'll get better when he realizes you won't abandon him for the new kid.

Wow. I really hope you're not letting him off lightly for trying to punch you in the stomach, that's scary.

Someone wants to be an only child. It'll get better, I hope. My niece was extremely upset to find out she was going to have a brother and not a sister. Told my sister she would not touch the baby or play with him. She eventually got over it, and was obsessed by the time he was born.

Don't worry, when I was two, I walked over my baby brother. Literally walked over him. Your son can't be worse. :)

My parents once told me that when they broke the news, I just went "Oh. Okay." And kept talking about my day at school.

My older sister was pretty upset, too. Unless your son is developing psychopathic tendencies, I wouldn't worry. He'll get over it. Watch out for the punching thing until then, though.

This is why I don't like kids

Can we say "pick yourself up off the floor" slap. Seriously?! What kid reacts that way? All the kids I've known have never acted in such a destructive manner.

my 3 yr old loves the idea of having a sister but doesn't want a brother cause she thinks he'll mess with her stuff. she's been super clingy as well and when she hugs me she headbutts me. i don't think it's intentional headbutting but i figure when the baby's big enough for the kicks to be felt on the outside she's gonna get quite a few kicks in the head cause of that.

What a little shit, trying to punch you.

It’s okay when my brother came out I told my parents to put him back inside my mom lol I was like four but I’m 20 now and I love him more than anything he will grow and change
