[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Dad raised two daughters and always pushed us to be high achieving academically and pushed us to go into high earning careers. Sister and I both graduated top of our high school class, went to highly ranked colleges and have successful careers.  While I have mommy-tracked I make $150,000 a year/part time and sister makes $1 million a year.  We both are married and have kids, etc.

My parents got divorced 20 years ago and my dad has since remarried a woman who is basically a doormat.  She does not work, does not contribute to running the house and pretty much is only there to look pretty.  She will cook for him and do his laundry. But he has a very busy life with lots of businesses and needs help running his household (like paying bills, organizing and scheduling house maintenance, gardening and keeping the house up, etc) and I feel like she does not contribute at all.

I am just so surprised that my dad decided to marry someone so passive when he has raised two women to be the exact opposite. Even my mom (his ex-wife) is very independent, worked my whole life, etc. [/quote]

You sound obnoxious.  She is older and if he's earning that much money, they can hire a housekeeper and gardener.  Its probably his house.  Why shoudl she work if she's older.  She contributes in her own way.  You don't like her and just say that.  Why will your husband not financially support you so you can stay at home?[/quote]

Op - actually she is 4 years older than me. So that doesn’t work in your narrative. [/quote]

Gross. 
It's not that deep. It's an age gap relationship, and stepmother wants a soft life.[/quote]
