[quote=Anonymous]My dad married his AP and had four more kids. I would *never* have behaved the way you describe OP. The stepdaughters in this situation are being ridiculous. They are not children, but they are behaving like it. Stepdaughter needs to get over it. Dad needs to go out to lunch or breakfast with her and lovingly explain his expectations for future get togethers. He didn't abandon his wife or his kids. He has every right to be remarried and happy. The adult children need to get on board with this. Otherwise your DH needs to protect YOU and your little one from their negativity and any bullying. That is his obligation now. I'd suggest a cruise or resort for the whole gang if you can afford it, gives people more space. You may have been overly ambitious to think 17 people could get along with those age mixes and the emotional baggage, and territorialism. [/quote]
