Why Is My Husband So Hard on Our Middle Child? 😢

Ever since our daughter was born, life in our New York apartment has changed in ways I never expected. My husband, who used to be so patient, now seems to lose his temper with our 4-year-old son over the smallest things. I watch our little boy try so hard to get his dad’s attention—sometimes by acting out, sometimes by going quiet—and it just breaks my heart. Meanwhile, our oldest barely gets a warning, and I can see the confusion and sadness in our middle child’s eyes. Bedtime has turned into a nightly struggle, and I feel powerless as I watch his bright spirit fade a little more each day. I worry he’ll always feel less loved, stuck in the shadow of his siblings. Have you ever seen one of your kids treated differently? How did you handle it? I’d really love to hear your stories and advice, because right now, I just feel so lost. 💬 #FamilyStruggles #ParentingChallenges #MiddleChild #FamilyRelationships
