blended family issues
Forums:
I am a step mom n it's hard because I have two step children. One wants a lot of attention from dad when he gives us, baby n I attention and the other one doesn't care.

She is 4 and son is 3. The jealousy is with her and the baby sucks all the attention but it's sad because these kids were abused by the bio mom and now it's worse because it's all elevated. She has lashed out at the baby when I don't let her help or touch her.. idk it's all sorts of stuff..
