My husband and I just recently had a baby boy, and He has a 7 year old daughter from a previous marriage. I feel like my son is constantly being compared to her, and that my husband spends so much time being sad that she’s not there all of the time that he’s missing out on our son. He’s always saying well she did this when she was a baby, and she liked that... he won’t give up her baby clothes. I suggested that he keep a few things but that we donate the rest... he cried. We have boxes of her baby clothes and things. Just taking up space.
