@Autumn He is 5 in March and he knows he is loved. I never shout at him for making a mistake or doing it accidentally. He doesn't speak to me or his dad just tells us to go away or he isn't listening
I’m having the same issue. My stepson will be 5 in May and he’s hit his younger brother (my bio) who just turned 3 months multiple times since he’s been born. I’m at a loss really
Same situation. Stepdaughter is 6 and my bio daughter is 10 months. She’s accident it her a few times and will curl up into a ball and bury herself into her lap. Idk if it’s a coping mechanism or what it is
@Josie sometimes just knowing they're loved doesn't do enough I'm not trying to say your not trying but he might feel like he's not special anymore maybe take a little trip ju you and him for breakfast or lunch and a quick trip somewhere fun while your husband watches the baby so he knows even tho he's not your bio child he's still so important to you
@Autumn He does know though. I buy him all sorts, I kiss and cuddle him when he wants. I tell him I love him, he knows even though he isn't my bio baby that he was my first x
My nephew just turned 5 in November. We had them over for a sleepover last night and he hit his little brother a few times over some odd things. Like this morning for example, he hit his brother in the head with a shoe because he doesn’t like him (his words). I’m not sure if it’s the age, but it almost seems like it.
My SS just turned 6, bio son is 18 months, and exactly the same here. He'll throw something carelessly and hit his brother. We'll tell him to apologize because he hurt somebody, and he'll run to his room and fake cry for an extended period of time.
How old is your stepson sounds like jealousy he might be worried that he won't be loved anymore now that theres a new baby
