[QUOTE="InsaneCdn, post: 593462, member: 11791"] Her oldest, who happens to be a difficult child to begin with, suddenly is forced to become part of a blended family - AND loses his "top pup" status in the process, because he's gone from "oldest" to "somewhere in the middle". And you think this is HIS fault? difficult child kids don't handle transitions well to begin with. Blended-family transitions involving older kids are extremely major transitions. Everybody in this equation is going through major transition - and that leaves LESS resources to properly deal with difficult child. Step back. Look at the situation from EACH of the children's eyes. What does it take to provide EACH child with what THEY need? Because in my opinion, the kids come first. ALL of them. [/QUOTE]
