[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Your wife isn’t entitled to have her children taken on trips by your brother.

But you’re truly naive to think that one child in a household being raised as the princess is going to go without comment by the other children/adults in the home.  Your wife’s daughters are going to expect to be taken on trips— on your wife/your dime— that their stepsister is excluded from. I hope you have budgeted accordingly.  I hope you are ready to answer to your daughter as to why she’s not welcome to go on your next family vacation.

You should have waited a few years until all of these children were in college before marrying. [/quote]

WTF. Why would he have to exclude his daughter from a family vacation?

Also, the princess isn't the one having a tantrum. The tantrum throwing brats should know by late teens that they don't get to go on every trip with every acquaintance. If anything, they could hit up their won aunts and uncles for more generous gifts and trips. They don't even have a parent-daughter type relationship with OP, why would they expect a familial relationship with extended family?

OP, stand your ground, and don't expect it to get any better any time soon. Your wife interfered with your family behind your back after you asked her not to. I'm sure she's embarrassed and wants you to take up for her, but my goodness, she was way out of line. The way she latched onto this and let it simmer until it was boiling over instead of letting it go probably means she's going to hold onto this forever and try to make things even for her daughters at your daughter's expense in the future, when you don't see it coming. They're not 3 year olds getting shafted at christmas while your daughter gets a new pony. They're old enough to know they're not entitled to other people's money. [/quote]
