I have asked questions about my stepson, who came to live with us in late May, before. My son who is 10 is not adjusting well. He really resents having to share with my stepson. I mean sharing me, his sister, his grandma, his cousins, not just material things. My son was not jelous like this when I had my daughter, so i feel it is just the idea of having an older brother come in. My stepson is still lying and stealing, and my son doesn't feel my husband gets onto my stepson hard enough. He thinks that my husband favors his own son. The lastest jelousy is because my stepson is staying with people during the day at a horse ranch, getting to ride horses and such, and my son goes to the babysitter with my daughter. The babysitter did not have room for my stepson, and the arrangement we made was the only option we had . Still it seems unfair to my son because he sees it as my stepson has been misbehaving and is getting rewarded. How do we help with the jelousy?
