[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Leave it to DCUM to turn what is step-parenting issue into yet another diatribe on stay-at-home parents.

I doubt the husband is going to take the same hard-line when his daughters go off to college. The fact is, when he married this woman, he took on some responsibility for his stepson. And he definitely took on some responsibility for his wife.

how you are all turning a simple case of a kid wanting a little bit of spending money into wht you turned it into is really quite amazing. And super hideous

(And nope. I'm not a stay-at-home mom. And yes I worked my ass off to college. But we don't really know the entire situation with this kid we're jumping to the conclusions that best fit our biases. It ain't cool.[/quote]

Assuming this is a step-parenting issue is nearly as silly as assuming it is a SAHM issue.  There are a multitude of reasons OP's husband could be reluctant to send additional funds to the student.  OP hasn't provided any clarity on this, so everyone is speculating.  Your preferred theory is that he's refusing to support his stepson, but wouldn't treat his daughters the same way; can you point to anything from the OP that indicates this?  No, you can't.  So please get off your high horse about what "other people" are doing - you're doing the same thing.  [/quote]
