[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]So what you are saying is - We got married 6 months ago but I didn’t expect anything to change and didn’t expect my stepdaughters to actually you know be real people who live her and have emotions. And didn’t really expect my wife to actually put her kids needs above my kids 🤷

1 - sign up for family therapy - they will help you blend your families and yes they are going to blend

2 - your brother and SIL had their chance to live out whatever parenthood fantasy and believe me they were living in a fantasy of how they were so much better than you by giving your daughter this experiences and in their stability. Don’t believe just ask him he sounds blunt he will tell you.

3 - your brother is blunt and you are a bit scared of having to confront him and that’s why you are protesting

4- your brother was rude and inappropriate. And as an adult he should know how to act and if he doesn’t then, yes, he has a problem. Maybe he is autistic? Don’t excuse his behavior bc you already know it’s out of the norm so why look stupid by telling people it isn’t. [/quote]

Except that is not what happened.   OP's daughter was offered a nice vacation by her aunt and uncle. That is all.  They had every right in the world to treat their niece to a vacation if they were using their own money, which they were.  Neither the aunt and uncle nor daughter had any financial obligation to the step mom or to the step daughters.

OP has no financial obligation to his wife or step daughters to finance a similar vacation for them.  His wife knows this.  His wife also knows the OP's brother has absolutely no financial obligation to herself or her daughters.

She knew the brother would not fund her daughters before even talking to him about it.

Her sole aim was to create family strife to pressure OP into providing financial support for her daughters when she knew they had already agreed he would not do so.

The only one with any obligation to fund a trip for the step dsughters is their.mother, and possibly their natural father, but not the OP, and not the OP's brother.

Brother was not rude and inappropriate.  Je responded correctly to a greedy woman who was trying to extort money from him that she knew she had no right to.

Only a grifter or outright criminal would take her side.  Or a single mom.

Which are you, PP?

+1. This has nothing to do with blending families. Most of these kids are almost adults and out of the house anyways.  BIL and niece can have a relationship what has nothing to do with step mom and step siblings. It’s just stupid to suggest otherwise. [/quote]
