[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Many of the PP on this thread are clearly projecting or have never been in the situation.  My 21 year old SD sounds very similar to the OP’s SS.  She takes full advantage of my husband (which he clearly allows) and does not reciprocate any birthday or holiday gifts.  It is very hurtful to me that she shows no appreciation or gratitude towards my husband.  I have been in her life since she was 6, my husband had primary custody of her.  To the posters stating that the stepmother did not have a right to be upset or say anything, you clearly have never been in the situation.  I would not say anything to my SD but I definitely speak to my husband about it.[/quote]

Your husband and his former wife failed her as a parent and she doesn't owe them much. A broken childhood, and you want gifts?[/quote]

I am not sure what you are saying.  Are you saying it would have been better to stay in an unhealthy relationship?  Life does not always turn out the way we dreamed, things happen.  That does not give anyone an excuse to lack gratitude.  [/quote]
