I have noticed every since our child has came into this world that the sd and ex have been A LOT more needier and seem to talk and ask more out of my husband.

Wondering if you noticed any changed in your husband kids and ex wife when the baby came?

My 15 yr old sd will not leave her fathers side except to go to bathroom and bed when he is at our house. It is so annoying. Its like she is afraid he is going to pick the baby up or something.

The ex sends text messages and is a lot more talkative these days to my husband. But, its not about the sd. It is really getting old. Its things like " I wish you lived closer" or can you come get sd to gymnastics. (and we live freaking an hour away) there is other stuff too, but she is a lot more needier than before.

My DS is 10 months and my SD is 12. She will not leave my DH's side. I think it's more about her feeling threatened by me (I think?). She always has to be closer to him than I am. And that goes for my DS too, although my DS won't let me out of his sight, so that doesn't always work for her.

sd was 15 when bs4 was born. i know she loves him, but yeah, i think she was jealous, too. she's always been jealous of my place in fdh's life. apparently she thinks he can't have a gf and still be her dad. :? when bs was born, i got to hear all these fictional stories of when "dad used to do X with me when i was little". stuff that i know never happened. whatever. i guess she needed to tell herself that to feel better. fdh is way closer to bs than he ever has been with sd, and i'm sure she knows it.

too f'g bad. it's not my fault her parents split up when she was 3 months old. fdh and bs have been together since day 1, of course he's closer to him! i think she's also jealous of the relationship bd and bs have together. again, they live together, so obviously he's going to know bd better and be closer to her than he is with sd.

i suspect all of this is a big part of why she was in such a yank to get knocked up at 19. she wants what we have. haha, the joke's on her. i have no doubt that her relationship will deteriorate with the stress of a baby and she thinks she's broke now, she's never gonna have any money, and things are just going to go south in a hurry. oh well, just like all of her issues, she brought them on herself!
