Can someone please explain why stepchild is always the main focus?

Why is the stepchild always the focus, the favorite, the obsession, and put on a pedestal? Even when there is an “ours” baby or child involved?

 

I don’t understand it so maybe someone can explain it to me if you’re experiencing the same thing.

 

In my situation in particular, SS4 has autism and behavior issues. Our “ours” baby boy is 13 months old. It’s ALWAYS “SS this and SS that” or DH is always saying “Me and SS are doing this” or “Me and SS are going here” or “Me and SS had this”  when SS4 is here.

My MIL is the same way.

 

I said kind of a mean thing lol

My husband has a friend who impregnated a woman who has 3 kids from a previous relationship or marriage (?), I don't know her, so I don't know the situation. The friend and this woman are not married. So today my husband says to me:

"Do you know my friend who was going to have a baby?"

Me: Yes.

Husband: Well it ended up being a stillbirth.

Me: Well tell your friend to run the other way.

Husband: *walks out of the room*
