Avoiding the newborn
At home, the boy avoided engaging with the newborn, choosing instead to stay in his room or play outside. ‘Aren’t you curious about your new sister?
‘ his mother asked. His response was curt: ‘That’s not my sister.’ The boy’s words echoed in his father’s mind.
He couldn’t understand why his usually curious son was so adamant. ‘What if he’s right?’ the father thought, unease creeping back in.
