[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It’s one thing when your mom and stepdad are equal earners, but especially when you acknowledge that it’s his money.... I’m not sure what you were expecting. You’re not his kid, you never saw him as a father, and you’re an adult who is apparently capable of looking after yourself and your family.

You can ask to not hear about their gifts though. And you can stop spending time thinking about what to gift them.[/quote]
[b]They’re definitely not equal earners, but I can tell you this much, it wouldn’t hurt him financially to treat me the same. I just wish my own mom wasn’t so excited to brag about how wonderfully she/they treat her stepkids[/b].[/quote]

Found it! Grown person with children upset that her stepfather's children get pricier gifts than they do.[/quote]

That doesn’t mean she thinks she deserves the same.  But if there is no financial reason for the discrepancy it is obviously about the relationship.  Stepsisters have a dad who loves and spoils them financially and a step-mom who devotes lots of time and energy to planning these excursions and gifts.

OP gets an after-thought gift card and nothing else.  She has no parents anymore.  And the difference is not cause by money but by people with everything who just don’t care enough to even think of including her.[/quote]

Do you think Queen E treats Camilla's kids the same way she treats Will and Harry? I highly doubt Camilla's kids get the same kind of stuff from the royal family. [/quote] Wrong analogy. It would as if [/i]Camilla[i] dissed her own children and paid more attention to Charles' children.  [/quote]
