[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP here, her issue is she’s upset that her mom is pregnant and she thinks her mom will forget all about her when the baby is born. My husband told her she’s overreacting and that they’ll continue with the current arrangement for now and will revisit the issue when the baby gets here.[/quote]

I am the PP from above, a fellow step-mom.....we went through the same ordeal and my step-DD still has these issues after two more kids. She is used to being "the one and only" and she feels slighted (for no reason/completely overreacting). We actually spend more time shuttling her around and she has more activities than the younger kids and understandable so since she is 16. This is the conversation bio-mom and dad need to have with her to make it clear it is not so and foster a loving relationship between her and the new baby. She can be the "big sis" and set the example. If the child is extremely self-centered, she will need therapy to overcome this. My step-DD still feels "slighted" even though her needs are completely different and more time and resources are spent on her than my own bio-kids. [/quote]

let me put this to you simply.

she feels slighted because her mom is unable to parent her, her step-mom is an evil b, and her dad doesn't stand up for her. [/quote]
