Hi im just wanting a bit of advice I am a step mum to a 12 year old girl who stops with us twice a week and I have a 2.6mth old boy its took a bit of time for her to use to sharing her dads and mine love with her brother as she had our full attention before. I have always wanted to have a 2nd child so my little boy has a brother or sister who lives with him and will always be with him a play mate. My partner was unsure about having another child as he's 12 years older than me but he's come around to the idea and agreed to have another baby, which makes me really happy but i'm not sure how my step daughter will react. I look after my little boy full time he's not in any childcare so were with each other 24/7 when he sees babies he's very interested in them and wants to help with my friends babies. But when i've put so much love into him how can I share my love with a new baby? My relationship changed with my step daughter when he was born but im not sure if this was because she was not my blood daughter? I'm just unsure if bringing another baby into our family is a good idea?
