My fiance had 2 kids before we got together and I love his kids with all my heart but we have a one year old daughter together and she is very jealous of her brother and sister. I know its because she doesn't see them alot because their mother moves around alot, we try to get them every other week and theres been times where we've kept them for a month straight but when thier staying at our house Dlorah cries and becomes fussy and always wants me to hold her do you think this is natural and she'll grow out of it or is there something I should do to help her understand better?

Very natural. I have an 18month old and she cries everytime I hug my 6 year old daughter. I don't know why. It's kind of funny sometimes. We don't do it on purpose. But, she gets really funny sometimes.

She'll grow out of it. She's one year old and she's used to being the only one who gets your attention on a full time basis. Encourage her to play independantly even when the kids are not there. Then do mommy and me time one on one. Encourage the children to play in groups and independantly when the other children are in the home. Everything will be just fine. She's just not old enough to understand yet.
