Nobody is entitled to attend a fancy private school, which will undoubtedly have a positive impact on their life prospects. Life is truly not fair, and if we actually lived in a meritocracy, the smartest kids would attend the best high schools instead of merely settling for the best colleges. Whether a kid attends a …

30-year-old stepmom refuses to adopt her 12-year-old stepdaughter because she doesn’t think they’re close enough: ‘Her mom passed when she was 2! This woman is the only mother she’s got.
Whether a stepparent will adopt their stepchild has a lot to do with their specific family situation. If the mom has been raising her daughter on her own since the day she was born, and she marries her daughter’s stepdad during her daughter’s childhood, he might be a good candidate for adopting her. He has …

17-year-old forced to move to another country when her “wicked stepmother” denies her move-in request, blaming her history of rampant theft: ‘I don’t want her unsupervised in our home’
This teenager had consistently proven that she was a thief and a liar in her stepmother’s home. Despite having a long-standing, healthy relationship with the girl’s father, this stepmom was always painted as the villain, which is fair to a point. But when her wedding ring went missing along with some prescription meds, this stepmom …

‘My brothers told my dad it was like they weren’t there’: 16-year-old girl refuses to give her stepmom the ‘girl mom’ experience after she witnesses her stepmom emotionally neglecting her half-brothers
A child who is experiencing their parents parting ways in divorce deserves some grace, especially if they’re at a young, impressionable age. Everything they thought they knew about love, family dynamics, and normalcy has been flipped on its head. They no longer see Mom and Dad as a unit, but rather two beings independent of …

13-year-old stepdaughter cries after her step-mother puts more effort into decorating her 3-year-old brothers room than her room: ‘She accused me of playing favorites because he’s “actually mine.»‘
Stepparents are often placed in a difficult position, unsure of their role in their stepchildren’s lives. They’re expected to do many of the things a mom or dad would do, without the title of’ mom’ or’ dad’. It’s entirely valid for a stepmom to fully step into the role of being a mother to her …

16-year-old tells her mom she makes her feel like an orphan because she constantly favors her 8-year-old stepdaughter: ‘I lost dad and then I lost her to her stepdaughter’
We’re all familiar with the tale of Cinderella and her stepfamily. Once her dad passed away, her life was overtaken by the tyranny of a woman who had no interest in taking on a genuine parental role in her stepdaughter’s life. Stories like this can give stepmothers a bad rep for little kids who have …

Homeschooling stepmom pressures mom into homeschooling her 8 and 9-year-old children, claims her 4 kids are jealous that they go to public school: ‘Nicole said it is unfair for her children to see mine go to school while hers do not’
Public school is not perfect. Many public school students leave school with a less-than-stellar grasp of basic concepts that should be second nature by the time they’re 18. However, I resent the idea that all public schools are cesspools of low morals and mediocre education. I’d venture to say that many parents who enroll their …

18-year-old lies about which college she’s attending to make sure her codependent step-sister doesn’t follow her to the same school: ‘Mom told me I wasn’t thinking of what was best for Charlotte’
Older sisters know the feeling of their younger sister copying them all too well. When I was getting potty trained, my younger sister wanted to take the leap too, despite being a year and a half younger than me. When I did community theater, she followed in my footsteps. I never really had a complex …

Dad forces 21, 23, and 27-year-old children to call his wife «bonus mom,» refuses to let them call her anything else even though it makes them uncomfortable: ‘Our dad says it “makes her happy” and to just do it.’
There’s always a lot of discussion about the nickname a grandchild will call their grandparent. It seems like there are very few families where «grandma» and «grandpa» will suffice. You’re either Pee Paw, Gigi, Mee Maw, Gammy, Gran Gran, or who knows what. I think many of these nicknames arise because grandparents don’t want to …

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 …
