How can I explain to my husband the damaged he is creating on my child?

I got remarried I have a child he is 13 my husband has another child he is also 13. The issue I am having is that my stepson gets anything he wants, let me explain. Right now we have a plasma tv in our bedroom 36 inches and my husband wants to give it to his son who spends 50% of the time with us. My son has a 19 inches lcd tv and I dont think is fair that his son gets the big tv. His son is in Private School and mine is not. My son thinks is not fair that he has a little tv and my stepson is getting the big one. Sometimes my husband does not treat my son good, the way he talks to him is not the same way he talks to his son. Please help me SOS, I want to try to save my marriage. But I am a mother first, and my son feels less...I am worry

avatarAnonymous Great question... its hard to told to change, or correct your behavior, it feels like a personal attack so it will have to be done with care.

Not sure if its time for a serious sit down talk, you may want to try the slow not so confrontational approach. Mention that you each have your own parenting styles, and have each raised your children a certain way. Your child is not used to being talked to like 'x' and that he should try to talk to him this way. Than your son will respond better and learn better from the experiences that way.

As for the TV, his son probably has a bad TV right now, so he is just thinking give him that one since you no longer are going to use it. However, to me it makes more sense to keep the more expensive and nicer TV in the house rather than shipping it off to military school. 19' is much more portable and easier to move as well. Seems logical to me.
