He has a daughter that is 8 and we have a 2 week old daughter together. the problam is his parents do more for the girls and his sisters girls then for my son at christmas or birthdays they get the girls alot of stuff and my son only gets 2 or 3 things. his mom has a myspace puts pics of the girls but none of my son. how should i handle this?

 well...im 13 and this happened to me...
my dad got re-married and my step-mum had an 18 year old daughter ( who has now moved out but this is in past tence)
me and my brother of 11 suddenly got a new older sister and she was very demanding. we weren't used to be put 2nd even by our own dad. we got used to this but...
my step-mums parents would treat her daughter MUCH better then us. in simple ways like... she would be offered food and we would not, she would be aloud in the living room and we would not. and especially at christmas...she got an ipod from them and me and my brother just got a jumper each.
i was angry at first so i understand how you feel. but grand-parenting is very special to a person and i think she is just so proud that her son helped to create this wonderful baby that she is not realising that she is forgetting about your son.
eventually i hope it works for you. but as long as you and yooour husband love all of your kids i think everything is alright :)
take care..

 I'm sorry, but I think there is no way to change that family's feelings. They don't feel that your child is their flesh and blood and, in a strict sense, he isn't. They should be able to be bigger persons and love an innocent child, but they can't.
I'm happy to know that your husband feels that your child is his own. That is what matters.
Do try, however, to avoid situations in which your own child will have to face the fact that he's not loved by that family. It will hurt a lot.
