He may not be as present as you need him to be

Babies are a hell of a lot of work, which means that you’ll be leaning on your partner often as you tackle parenthood as a team. However, when you have your own biological child, you will begin to notice exactly how much his other children need him as well. You may be spending much more time alone than you anticipated as there will be moments, especially when the baby is a newborn when he won’t be able to be as present or available to help you with the baby because the older children require attention. However, as the baby gets older, this issue should subside as you will be more mobile and able to tackle challenges and participate in actvities as a family.
