My son, who is 5, is the biological son of my husband. Although he is not my biological son, he thinks he is because I have been in his life since he was 2 and his biological mother is not a part of his life. I also have a biological daughter who is 6. For some reason, I find that I am harder on him. He will do certain things that will set me off, but when my daughter does the very same thing in a different circumstance, I don't get angry with her at all. I do try to be fair and all rules apply to both children, but it seems as though I must have some sort of biological attachment to my daughter and not with him. I do think that he may be able to sense my emotional distance. I don't readily take hugs and kisses from him than I do from my daughter. I don't want him growing up feeling like his mother never loved him. The psychological effects can really affect his life when he is older. What about other people who have adopted children??
