Jealous over pictures! Do you have an even amount of pictures up of your kids?

She is obviously very sensitive about this so really, would it be so bad to put up an extra picture of her to make her feel a bit more special? It might seem like a big deal over nothing to you and me, but to her its not. I would want her to feel loved secure and important, so yes I would remove them, in a heartbeat.

You need to get beyond the counting thing, because it will just make your and her lives miserable in the long run. My mom really does play favorites with pictures - we can always tell how she's feeling about our lives by counting the number of pictures up of each of us. Whichever one of us she is most upset with at the time will have zero or one picture up. The year my sister and I both got divorced, you couldn't tell from her house that she had daughters. It's actually a joke among my siblings and I. Our reports of visits with her always feature everyone's picture counts. So, I can tell you that you are doing just fine. However, I would guess that your stepdaughter doesn't have a baby book either. My stepdaughters lost theirs in a fire and I made them baby scrapbooks with whatever photos I could find, as much of a family tree as I could put together, memories from their dad and grandma, and a bunch of cute baby scrapbook doo-dads. They were a big hit, even with the one who hates me :-) (I made her do her homework.)

This may sound weird to you but could you possibly make a photo collage of her? All you would really need to do is use some photos that you had taken of her at home. I have three children so I have been through the " you have more photos of him then me" issue. My sons are adopted so I don't have as many photos of them. My youngest son barely has any baby photos at all. So I made each of them a large photo collage that I put on the wall. Each one helped me pick out some of their favorite moments that I caught in a photo. This might help her to feel better.

Oh this made me laugh how silly are kids, we had a simular thing happen my mother in law has a hallway of photos and my daughter notice there wasnt many of me up there and was a little upset but then when you consider Ive only been in the family a short while I was suprised at all and it didnt upset me. the things kid notice. I think youve explained yourself well and it would be silly to remove the pictures. Though I wonder if you ask her to get some pictures from the time she wasnt there and hung them would this not solve the delema for awhile make her feel more equal and later when shes older she will laugh at herself you would think.

This is a very awkward situation,i have heard never about such thing before.She is very sensitive and due to this she is feeling jealous.How much ever you try to make her understand she wont understand that so i think just to make her happy i feel you should take photos of her or else she wont keep.We never take pain to count any photos but she did. I feel you should do this.

We have about 2,345,090,871 of our first and it got less and less for each child after that. I think we have a pic of "the baby" around here somewhere. LOL. I always tell him that someday he'll be the only child at home and we'll make up for it all then.

wow that's a tough one. what i would do is take her to wal mart and get profesional photo's done there. not for any special occasion except for to show how you love her and care about her. do it where it won't be too close to the time where you would normally take the whole family so there is a bit of difference in the pictures. then put it up on the wall when you get it back. ask her if this would seem fair to her because taken your son's pictures down is not fair to him or to you.
