You're not wrong. I think it comes from good intentions, i.e. wanting the older child to love and accept the new baby. But that can't be forced, and it's frankly weird to me how many parents just do NOT understand that at all. Insisting on it won't make it happen, it'll just increase the chances of pushback because the older kid isn't stupid. Even if they can't articulate what they dislike about it, kids don't like being pushed and prodded to feel positively about something they don't actually feel positively about.

The cynical part of me says that the reason parents do this is that they stubbornly and selfishly believe it'll be easier to magically create a good sibling relationship instead of doing it the hard way, which is to make sure your older kid(s) still feel loved, valued and have an appropriate amount of parental attention and nurturing even though there's a new baby in the house. NGL, that's hard. But you know, you chose to have more than one kid, so get on it.
