All I find that you can do is really just talk to your husband about it. I am in a similar situation. My husband has basically raised my daughter (his step-daughter). He has two children from a previous marriage. Well, if I am in a different room than him and the children when he has to discipline them I can tell you who he is talking to just by the tone of his voice. I have found that he is a lot easier on his children than he is on my daughter. We have a child together but the baby is to young to tell if he will be different with the baby. But I find all I can do is talk to him and slowly it has been changing. He honestly didn't realize that he was doing it.
