writes:hi everyone, i have question and would be grateful for any thoughts on it. my daughters dad and me split up when she was five months and she is now eleven and a half. her dad got married a couple of years ago and his wife fell pregnant. today she has had a baby boy and my daughter who sees her dad every three to four months as he lives and works abroad was visiting them when she had the baby three weeks early. the thing is my daughter has never lived with her dad and from the ages of two to six he chose to have no contact with her. he is a better dad to her now and calls her every week but the question really is do you think he will love his baby son more than his daughter as he chose to walk out of her life so young?? he did say at the time he just wasnt ready to be a dad and i do feel he has grown up a lot in recent years, thanks

 All over the world parents have more than one child and they can love them both. Now, honestly I have a better relationship with some of my kids than I have with others. Mostly that depends on the kids and how they handle the relationship. Some people are harder to love. I don't think that once you have come to love a daughter you can let that go.

I dont have kids but I have noticed that parents get along differently with girls and boys. The one thing I can assure you is that he will not stop loving his daughter.
Since he matured with time, he might even feel somewhat guilty for abandoning her some years and not spending enough time with her.

That should not change just because he has a son now. Will he love the son more? well he may have more a bond with the son as they live together but that doesn't make any difference on the love front.
