When a parent gets into a relationship with somebody other than the person they had children with, their biggest concerns often revolve around kids, stepparents, and stepsiblings all getting along. There are plenty of blended families out there where the blending hasn’t worked so well, causing a lot of drama, hurt feelings, and extensive therapy …

Dad punishes 13-year-old daughter for calling her classmate «poor» by making her go to school with extremely bad hygiene for 3 days: ‘No shower, no deodorant, no brushing of teeth, and reused clothes’
There is a fine line between a harsh punishment and an unacceptable one. I understand that teens can misbehave in a way that requires harsh punishment, but that doesn’t mean that their parents should hire strangers to kidnap them from their rooms in the middle of the night and live off the land with a …

Mom refuses custody of her 8 and 9-year-old sons because they eat foods that her stepdaughter is allergic to: ‘She can’t eat peanut butter, eggs, cheese, strawberries, and chocolate’
Allergies are no fun. One of my best friends can’t eat mangos without her face totally swelling up, and I’d venture to say that’s one of the worst fruits you can be allergic to. Not because it’s in everything, but because it’s so darn delicious! My best friend from high school couldn’t eat strawberries, and …

‘At least my kids still talk to me’: Stepmom gifts family heirloom necklace to her 18-year-old stepdaughter she’s raised since she was 4, aunt claims she shouldn’t have gotten it because she’s not biologically related
We all know that not all stepmothers are wicked. We can be guilty of sharing stories that paint some stepparents in a negative light, but that’s only because those usually make for more compelling stories. Nobody likes to read fairy tales about Cinderella and her nice stepmother who took her under her wing, treated her …

Stepdad forces 10 and 12-year-old stepkids to never mention their late father in front of him, mom can’t understand why they don’t want a relationship with him 17 years later: ‘Frank yelled at my sister because she mentioned dad in her graduation speech.’
When you’re a kid, you’re at the mercy of the adults around you. While many kids have two healthy, rational parents at the helm of their families, a lot of kids have to operate under a series of absurd rules that do nothing to prepare them for the future. A parent could hypothetically feed their …

Stepmom refuses to fully pay her 20-year-old stepdaughter’s $3400 medical bill for swallowing an AirPod: ‘She claims that she swallowed her AirPod in her sleep and has no memory of it’
When do you stop being responsible for your adult children’s medical problems? The US government says that once you turn 26, you can no longer use your parent’s health insurance, but not everyone stays on it for that long. I’ve had my own insurance since I was 22, and some people get forced off of …

36-year-old stepmom forces 18-year-old stepdaughter to babysit her 3-month-old baby onto her without asking, won’t take no for an answer: ‘I have woken up to her crib in my room’
If I were the mother of a 3-month-old, I would not be handing her off to anyone and everyone in my vicinity to babysit. That’s one of the most vulnerable and difficult times of motherhood because the baby is wholly dependent on you for survival, and your hormones are still totally out of whack from …

Some of us struggle to scrape together rent money, debate whether store-brand cereal is worth the $2 savings, and weigh the level of chicken freedom we can afford when buying eggs. And then there are people like this guy, whose life dilemmas include contemplating why his stepdaughter isn’t content with leasing half a horse. Half …

18-year-old daughter stands up to stepmom after she claims to be a better mother than her bio mom, dad takes stepmom’s side: ‘The whole table went silent’
Given how the media perceives step-parents, it is not surprising that many people struggle with the idea of becoming step-parents to a small child. It can’t be easy to fill someone else’s shoes, especially if the child is less than willing to ‘replace’ their actual parent. It’s a lot of responsibilities, accompanied by stress and …
