pregnant with teenage step kids

[faithholland1988]

Ok, so my husband has two teens from his previous marriage and Im at a loss... both of them are extremely angry about the pregnancy they don't want "a new noisy bundle of diapers" in the house; any ideas on how to involve them in it and or hopefully change their minds about having a baby sister or brother. my husband and i are ecstatic about having another baby but the teens attitudes about it has certainly dampered our spirits. any suggestions would be helpful.

I would involve them as much as possible in your pregnancy. the more connected they are to the baby now, the more their hearts will turn. after all, that new bundle of JOY will be their half sister / brother. :)

You should talk to them about respect and the fact that the new baby will be their little bro/sis... Once the baby is here I'm sure it will get better plus its a great form of birth control for them lol but those are teenagers for ya!

They'll warm up and love playing with the baby, its probably more of not wanting to share dads attention. You should take them to the ultrasounds they'll think its cool
