14-year-old tells her uncle she doesn’t want to be like his 10, 14, and 16-year-old homeschooled kids: ‘I don’t know if his kids are even gonna be able to go to college.’

Why would she want to be like his kids? You’d be surprised how many parents think childhood ends the second their kid starts school.

16-year-old hockey player refuses to return to her former robotics team after the 51-year-old coach kicked her out: ‘Dave demanded I come back to the team. I said no. You can’t kick me off a team, then beg me to come back?’

She’s not even driving him to his activities: she doesn’t get a vote. If you’re a stepparent who enters into a pre-existing family dynamic with a bunch of demands that they change things to suit your liking, you can’t act surprised when your stepchild dislikes you.
