Advice From Other Moms
The Dilemma
"I have a daughter from a previous marriage and had a baby boy with my current husband about six months ago. Before we had our baby together my husband treated my daughter just like his own - loved her to death and gave her tons of attention. But since our son was born he has no more love or time for my daughter; it's ALL about our son now. I appreciate that he's taking such an interest in our baby but my daughter is really hurt by his behavior and so am I. What can I do to make him see how much he's hurting her and how much she needs him?"

"Well I do not have this problem because this is my husband's and I first marriage and baby. However, my advice would be to simply tell him how you and your daughter feel. Holding those emotions back may cause greater damage in the long run then just simply saying a few words."
