[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I would not expect my elderly parents to take four teenagers for the weekend, let alone overseas.  The stepkids have their own sets of grandparents, and you and your husband can do something fun with them while the other girls are in Paris.  [/quote]

+1. I am admittedly not in this situation, but I think it's a lot to ask step grandparents to treat step grandkids as their own, to the tune of taking two additional people to Paris!

In fact, I think it's weird, unless the step granparents are really into it. It's actually very natural for your parents to make this distinction - this is the reality of your family structure. [b]And I think you and your husband are kind of crappy to be making your parents feel guilty and passing that attitude on to your daughter.[/b][/quote]

This is why blended families are a sh*tshow. OP wants to pretend she doesn’t have a blended family and is willing to die on that hill. She’s even willing to torpedoes her oldest daughter’s relationship with her grandparents over it. It’s just sad.
