[quote=Anonymous]OP, when you say you and your DH have completely kept the kids and finances separate, are you saying that for the last 6 years for every birthday (and Christmas if you celebrate it), your DD has watched her step sisters open up $1000 iPhones while you’ve handed her a sweater and expected her to be grateful? At 13, 15, 17? She is clearly lashing out because of years of feeling like a second rate citizen in her own home. And your attitude is basically that she needs to stop being rude to her privileged step sisters. You’re not wrong about her needing to accept the financial situation as it is (although it completely sucks that you got your security at her expense because your DH blocks her ability to get aid), or about her being unfair to her step sisters, but you seem oblivious to the fact that you helped create this unequal treatment, and you also seem to be more concerned about your DH and his kids than your own daughter’s future. I feel bad for her, and suspect your relationship in the future will not be great. But I’m not sure you really care that much.[/quote]
