I have 3 kids and only 1 of them is my husbands and he you can tell it. He is not mean to my other 2 kids but he just plays with the one more and shows him a lot more love and attention and I think the other 2 feel left out. How can I tell him to stop showing favoritism?How can I get my husband to stop showing favoritism to the kids?
Even if you point this out to him he is still going to deny it because he probably doesn't even realize what is going on. Why don't you suggest him doing certain activities with each child alone or taking each one by themselves somewhere. And not to hurt his feelings or upset him tell him that you just thought this would be a good way for each of the kids to have alone time with their parentsHow can I get my husband to stop showing favoritism to the kids?
The favoritism he's showing seems fairly natural. I would tend to feel the same. You can make sure he's aware but it will be on him to try to conceal some of his favoritism. He will always have a special bond with his biological child which can not be replaced. Everyone has a different capacity for love. I tend to favor one of my children over the other two and they are all biologically mine. It's just how it is sometimes.
No matter what you do or what you say will change how he treats or doesn’t treat your children. “I’m the person in the same situation as your husband.” I changed however when her daughter came to me and said “I don’t have dad” The invitation as dad into her life came from her. Her real dad was a dead beat and his empty promises over the phone eventually stopped as did his calls when she called him on his bs.
Have you spoken to him about this at all? I had the same issue. Two of my children were not my husband's and then when we had one together he (in my own opinion) started showing more favoritism towards her. I finally spoke to him about this. He of course was offended when I asked him because he did not realize it at all. He said it was just easier because with the other two he somehow felt that I had more control because they were my children first. He loved them all the same. We finally decided to have nights out with each of the children, the both of us did this. It helped out tremendously with my relationship with the children as well. Even if it is just a walk around the block or a trip to the park. I wish you the best of luck.

Just come out and tell him. Sheesh, didn't he know you had 2 kids when you got married? Tell him to put himself in the other kids shoes.
What a PUTZ he is , sorry. He is their father figure and he isn't doing a very good job. A child is a child whether it is a biological child or not. They are in the family/household. Tell your husband to grow up!!!
Either start showing favoritism to your kids and see how he feels, or tell him how you and your kids feel or start doing really nice things for his kids so he will feel embarrassed and stupid and bad for not being really nice to your kids.
Hope i helped
I dont know but you have to and fast. My real father showed huge favouritism towards my handsome sportstar brother and I am one messed up 34 year old attention and approval seeking Dude and probably always will be thats how serious it is.
well u know he will always favoritism tht kid b.cs its his kid.
but u should defiantly talk to him about it and about how the other kids want his attention too. otherwise contact dr. phil.
You cant tell him he has to do it on his own....you can help them do more kid-daddy activities but you cant force him to bond with them more
Tell him what you told us. The other kids need the same love and attention and it makes them feel sad when they are ignored.
what do you mean how can you tell him? Thats your husband and you should be able to tell him anything!
tell him he's a good father but a crap step-father... then wait for the penny to drop.
idk, im only 12!!
tell him.. duh
what vickie said
You could give the other two up for adoption?
