[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My stepson was really young - like 2 - when he started coming around more often (every other weekend).  Very sticky situation that I won't go into depth over.  I care about him enough to not let anything bad happen to him, but I don't love him like my own children.  I don't actually like his personality very much either, but he's just a kid, so it is what it is.  All kids have their quirks.  [/quote]

Wow, does he dad know you feel this way? Poor kid. I'm sure he picks up on your bad vibes. [/quote]

PP here.  My DH doesn't really understand how I love them "differently" because all of the kids are his bios.  But, even my DH has a different relationship with his son and our kids, because he doesn't come around that often.  The bonds are just different. 
 It's like another PP said, you are innately forgiving and unconditionally loving to your kids.  It's just not the same with my stepson.  It's so easy to ignore your kids' flaws and quirks because you just love them SOOOOOOOOOOO much.  I notice my stepson's flaws more than my own kids'.  Doesn't mean that I treat him poorly because of them, they just stand out and annoy me more.  [/quote]
