[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Quite dramatic to assume some kind of abuse. This is a typical teen situation between divorced parents. We had a ex many years ago who wanted full custody, never fought it Worked out quite well. Once he got to the teen age she wanted him to live with us, lol. He wasn't as easy, plus he didn't want to live with us. We had 2 small kids, a home business, and no room at the time. As a married couple living together it's a decision that requires both to be on board. No one gets to move anyone in the home be it a uncle, friend, or relative without the other spouses approval. OP she needs to try and get along with the new step dad. Not manipulate the grownups. [/quote] You are a peach. OP is the stepmother and both the SD and DH want this. Regardless of abuse, the best interests of the child can, and often do, change over time. Marrying a man with children is acknowledgment and approval of this, IMHO. OP doesn't have a veto unless SD is a danger to her or to other children in the house.[/quote] Like wise. As adults who are in charge of children they decide what's best, not the child. This is something OP and DH will decide. [/quote]
