I have a daughter who’ll be 18 on the 26th. She wants to spend the summer here before college. She’s responsible, respectful, and has never had any issues. My wife doesn’t want her staying but won’t give a reason. My daughter had huge birthday plans, isn’t unhappy now, very hurt, and has been crying a lot.
What’s the best way to handle this? |

| Is she your wife’s biological daughter? |

| Where do you live and where is college? What's the current custody arrangement? |

Your wife’s reason is obvious. Most mothers don’t want to be apart during the last summer before they go off to college.
Where are you talking about? What 2 locations? |

| Is this your wife’s stepdaughter? Or a shared child? |

Need more information. I don’t think one parent gets to make a unilateral decision. Also can’t fathom why a mother would not want her child home for summer. Where else would she live?
If this is a step- mom saying this ( and gives no reason) CHOOSE YOUR CHILD! |

Where else would she go??? You’re all in one home, right? Or are you separated from your wife? Clear as mud, your scenario. |

| Rent a house for the summer to live with her there. |

I don’t get why this would be fake. I care for both my wife and daughter, and I’m not sure how to handle this with my wife. She needs to give a reason, but won’t. |

A stepmother who objects to her stepdaughter living with her the summer before college and didn't offer a reason is not who you want living with you. |

How is this even a question? Kids come first. If my new spouse acted like this with my kids, I’d tell them to pack their bags and GTFO. |
