She’s punishing an innocent child for something she has no control over. It’s far too common for adults to put children in the middle of conflicts they’re having with other adults. Anyone who has watched the hit reality show Dance Moms knows this. Dance teacher Abby Lee Miller will be in the middle of a …

Stepmother pesters 15-year-old stepson to ‘go out more,’ father wants her to mind her business regarding his son’s life: ‘But she won’t drop the topic, because she thinks it’s not «healthy» for him’
It’s always nice to have multiple sources of input in a child’s life. As parents, you’re surely the biggest influence, but you shouldn’t be the only. That’s how you end up with sheltered children. So you should invite all kinds of presences in the lives of your children– teachers, friends, other members of your family. …

Mom pressures 16-year-old son to see his 16-year-old stepsister as his sibling because she’s paranoid they’ll start dating if they don’t feel like siblings: ‘They treat us like siblings and want us to feel like siblings, but we don’t.’
They should feel grateful for their amicable relationship and leave it at that. You can’t force a sibling relationship 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 …

Stepmother insists on homeschooling her 12-year-old stepdaughter because of her medical issues, going against her and her mom’s wishes: ‘We already homeschool our 6-year-old.’
This should be a temporary fix when her stepdaughter is too sick to attend school. People homeschool their kids for all different reasons, and one of them is because their child is too sick to attend school on a regular basis. If a kid is out of school for «too many days» because they’re too …

17-year-old stepdaughter accuses stepmother of pretending to be poor because she refused to buy her a $1200 purse: ‘I know you and Dad make bank’
Stepmom demands 15-year-old quit one of his 4 extracurricular activities because they leave no time for her 2 kids: ‘I told her that she is not paying for my classes, so it’s none of her business.’
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. When it comes to matters of the stepchild, it’s …

You shouldn’t have a baby if you can’t take care of yourself It’s common for teen mothers to get pregnant because they think that will make people care about them more. Teen moms are often kids who do not feel happy or properly supported in the family units they were born into, so they figure …

Mom steals iPad from her 8-year-old daughter and gives it to her stepdaughter, dad calls the police and reports her for theft: ‘Her view is sisters should help sisters out’
It’s not easy to parent when you’re divorced, especially when you’re trying to discipline your child. There might be behaviors that dad thinks are unacceptable, but mom couldn’t care less about. These differences arise in marriages, too, but they’re easier to discuss and get on the same page about when you’re living in the same …

Stepmom and dad refuse to let 19-year-old college student come home for Thanksgiving, says she has to find her own place to live during summer vacation: ‘Nobody told me I was completely on my own now’
She shouldn’t have to live independently during the holiday season. I’m not on board with parents who kick their kids out of their house the moment they turn 18. I understand parents kicking out a 25-year-old who has spent their entire adult life as a NEET (Not in education, employment, or training), but 18-year-olds are …

Stepmom sells 16-year-old stepson’s music box that his late mother gave him, in order to pay for his half-siblings’ medicine: ‘Someone bought it off eBay for $2K’
She had no right to even touch that music box. It’s all too common for children and teenagers not to be treated like whole human beings. I’m not saying that 12-year-olds should be able to vote or drive a car, but they should be afforded the same empathy and dignity that you would afford literally …
