Just came home with my daughter yesterday.

So my genetics will be plaguing humanity for a while. My girlfriend and new daughter are sleeping in bed right now and I have an observation I want to throw out for the community.My girlfriend has a 3 yo boy who I love to death and a daughter who lives with her father a few hours away from us. Her daughter was very excited to see her new half sister via Skype. My stepson, however (Who lives with us) just began coming to terms with the fact that he has to share mommy from now on. We visited my girlfriend's family yesterday and I saw that realization on his face.He and I were "playing my zobies" when he decided to go and see his mom who was on the couch, nursing my daughter. The look on his face was pretty devastating. He went from happy happy fun time to a blank stare in a microsecond. I sat next to him on the floor and tried to get his attention. He had a couple of tears coming from his face and I saw him gain some wisdom.He looked at me and asked if the baby comes home with us. I said that she is. He sat on my lap and silently cried on my chest for a little while. I brought him to a separate room and told him that mommy and I love him very much and that just because the new baby is here doesn't mean that we are going to love him any less. He just has to share me and mommy a little more because his sister was going to need a lot of attention for a while.He gave me a hug and asked for a blanket. So I gave one to him. He walked over to mommy and my daughter and put the blanket on my daughter and gave her a kiss. I asked if he wanted to keep playing zombies, but he told me no. And he went to another room and closed the door and played by himself for a good 30 minutes.Now, this boy is very protective and somewhat possessive of his mom. To see this happen put a smile on my face. He got a little wiser today and I got to witness it firsthand. I hope he comes around soon, but I'm very proud of him and will be taking him on some fun trips more often to help him feel a little bit more important.I just wanted to share that. via /r/Parenting http://ift.tt/2GgmEyC
