Mother tells 16-year-old daughter she’s not «celebrated» because she doesn’t do anything with celebrating, teen gets even more upset: ‘[She] said she feels like it’s unfair we celebrate [her brother]’

It’s not always easy to blend families. Different parties might be resistant to different kinds of change, and points of view can easily clash.

Weddings are expensive endeavors. You need a venue, a cake, drinks, and some kind of decoration. Even if you do it on the cheap, those things add up. This is why many new couples rely on family for a little monetary backing. It might be the family’s final push of support before they go off …

You can’t force sibling relationships between two stepchildren, and you can’t force a stepmom or a stepdad to be accepted into a parental role by the child they’re step-parenting. While it can be difficult for a parent when their child seemingly stubbornly refuses to accept their new partner and their children, it is so much …

You can’t force siblings, blood or not, to be friends. My sister and I were at each other’s throats sometimes when we were kids, but at least our parents didn’t force us to hang out with each other all the time. That definitely would’ve made it worse and could’ve made it so we couldn’t have …
