[quote=Anonymous]OP first of all you need to communicate with your husband and not simmer.

Second, as a parent in a blended family I need to give you my perspective about your husband's responsibilities to his other kids.

I have an 11-year-old. Her dad is remarried and has a four-year-old and a 1-year-old. My child had a tough transition when they came along. It's not just about being a new sibling -- which is a big deal. It's that she knew those kids would be in one house 100% of the time while she goes between two homes. Those kids got their mother 100% of the time while she doesn't (we're close). She went from being her stepmother's closest thing to a child to her stepmother actually giving birth like I did.

Your husband's two kids will never have the home life your new baby has. They will never have their parents live together. It's his responsibility to do everything in his power to show them they haven't been displaced.

I recommend you do a little perspective taking here and consider who really is at risk for feeling short changed. Then be grateful your husband is doing what he can to make the situation as good as it can be.
