[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It doesn't sound like you have a great relationship with your dad so the minimal visiting kind of makes sense.  But given you're not super close, I wouldn't sit and stew on this.  Ask him why you guys don't vacation together or why he doesn't visit etc etc [/quote]

Our relationship is fine but when I find out stuff like this I definitely want to take a few big steps back. It hurts and this isn't the first time it's happened by any means. I just tend to find out and then forget about it.[/quote]

You sound like my judgmental step kid.  Makes no attempt to socialize or visit with us as a family, but expects the same benefits as kids who are a part of our lives regularly and care about us BOTH.  You cannot have it both ways.[/quote]

What do you think your stepchild is judging you for?[/quote]

Of course your stepkid should enjoy the same benefits as the other kids. He/she is your partner's child. Why should it be conditional? You don't get to decide what benefits they should get. 
This almost sounds like blackmail.
You sound very full of yourself.[/quote]
