I'm a stepdad currently, to a girl who has no father and hasn't since she was born. We are going to have a baby soon, and I wondered what the transition will be like? How will the little one likely handle it?
How old is she? The younger they are, the better kids handle things like this but whether you are her biological or step father, there will be a little jealousy to begin with I think. She will deal with it with a little help from her parents.
We have dealt with a little jealousy from the 4 year old, but he quickly got over it. Now he really enjoys time to play with his brother as he is almost a year old.
jason, That's pretty much what it takes. Little ones need to learn to be selfless. When kids are young they are self centered which is not surprising as it takes a little practice to think of the other guy.
