Hi does anyone have any experience or advise with jealous step daughters?!!
I am really close with my sd, shes 9 and shes 'all for me' wont do anything with her dad if im not there and every weekend favours doing what i am doing over her dad ( iv been with him since she was just 3 so almost 7 years of her having all my attention). Anyway, Im 21 weeks pregnant with my first baby which I am obviously very excited about but I feel that she just puts a downer on everything, we try to include her and she says 'its all we talk about', but if shes not included she says we havnt included her and shes being pushed out, I cant win! My husband and I feel so on edge when shes with us because the slightest thing can set her off and put her in a mood!
This weekend I spent the whole of saturday with her doing girly stuff, went for lunch, went to a christmas fayre and all she could tell her dad was that we didnt go to the park that she wanted to go to (when i had already said we would go on sunday!!) and then told her mum today that all i have done is go on about the baby (I dont even recall mentioning it)
I cant win! I love my sd with all my heart, her mum knows i would do anything to make her happy but even she thinks my sd is getting a bit beyond with how shes acting.
I have had a rough pregnancy so I already feel a bit vulnerable about everything and now shes making out she feels pushed out I just dont know what to do!
All advise welcome!!
