Potential co-parent drama

While this is not the case for every family, the birth of another child can often result in a temporary rift between your partner and their co-parent. This can occur for a variety of reasons but in many cases, it stems from concerns, whether real or imagined, that the older children will be neglected or receive less because of the new baby.
