One mom relates to J.Lo and Marc Anthony's new family situation.

We posted Just Add Twins and Blend?, offering advice to blended families, and Mom Kristin adds her suggestions: "When my new husband and I brought our daughter home, I was very conscious of including my son from a previous marriage (he was 7). We lavished him with as much attention as we could when we were with him. I think the challenge for Marc and J.Lo is that SO MUCH attention will be put on these babies, it will be hard NOT to feel like they're less important. I mean, supposedly their first baby photo is worth something like 6 million. Marc should schedule one on one time with his 3 other kids, and also mention them in interviews, so they do not feel forgotten. And J.Lo should try to be understanding of that alone time he needs to have with his other children. It will only make their family stronger."
