[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]That crazy, they've known one of these girls since she was 2! She doesn't remember her life before them! How heartless. Regardless, you should let the girls take the trip and take them somewhere else, like the beach. Maybe something older girls will enjoy more, like New York. I'm sorry. [/quote]

And you got knocked up by a guy who had a one and 3 year old. Gross [/quote]

They were probably an affair.   [/quote]

^ Yup. Explains OPs attempts to have a fairy tale family. Trying to minimize the guilt. [/quote]

I was a little puzzled by the grandparents but this is a good explanation for the timeline and the grandparents' behavior. OP is trying to make a "perfect family" to assuage some of the guilt of being the AP, while the grandparents are trying to be sure their bio grandkids feel "special" and get treated well given that they lost their intact family early. [/quote]
Lol you people really don’t have enough going on that you have to spin fantastical stories about this family to fit your preferred position that the grandparents are in the right? OP has a good relationship with her stepkids’ mom (unlikely if she was an AP), which I know is not as fun as imagining OP was an AP and her parents are just trying to right that wrong, but come on. [/quote]

What other scenario gets you a kid 2 years younger than their half-sibling. I mean, it's possible that OP's older child is the result of a ONS with a newly-divorced guy but Occam's Razor and all....[/quote]Read the thread. There was no affair. OP has already answered this scenario you concocted.[/quote]

DP. I 100% do not believe OP’s little fairytale about being old friends who were set up on a blind date “after” his divorce. Suuuuuuuuuure.[/quote]

+1. And then to bring another baby into the picture almost immediately? Yeah…Given the shady timeline, I wonder if OP is overdoing it with the steps because they are getting closer to the age when they will do math and ask questions. She’s trying to assure their buy-in to her and her DH’s choices through material means. “It started off shady, but didn’t we give you THE.BEST.LIFE.EVER??!!??” She accuses her parents of trying to set her daughters up with a lavish lifestyle, but in the next breath she’s telling us how she and DH are saving to provide everything to the stepdaughters. Nice diversion, OP. But we see you.

PP,

Stop reading too many fan fictions. So dramatic and ugly. I am sure that’s how it played in your family but OP life sounds typical family drama. The grandparents are wealthy and they are setting their Bio grandchildren for a lavish lifestyle because they can. OP is trying to save close enough for step kids because their mom and her family has limited income. It’s nice for change to read about the nice stepmom!

It’s okay, OP. We get it. You are nothing short of heroic in all of this. You would never think to misrepresent your situation because whoever would do that on DCUM. [/quote]
