[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Your daughter is 16, not six.

Do not coddle her by allowing her to think being mean to the baby is okay.

It's okay for her to feel hurt that he didn't tell her about the wedding or the pregnancy.  Though that's partially on her for ignoring his phone calls.

A therapist could be a good idea.[/quote]

OP here my ex MIL said the same that she should have answered his phone calls instead of responding with texts 3 days later. She's a teenager so what do you expect. I can't force her.
Her step mom did make an effort with her including flying to D.C to visit her. Yale her shopping whenever she visited them, watch movies with her. She even took me out to dinner ( my daughter hated his previous girlfriend) but from the first meeting really liked step mom. Her dad had asked her at the time if she would be ok with them having a baby but this was 2 years ago.[/quote]

Well, he could have text her to know he was getting married. I understand the bit about the baby too, but your daughter doesn't right now because she unfortunately at 16 still thinks the entire world revolves around her.

But being mean to the baby and ignoring the baby is just flat-out stupid and immature even for a 16-year-old.  The kid isn't going anywhere. So she needs to figure out how to get over it. It's understandable for her to be upset with her dad and stepmom, but it's also not a good long-term solution.   She's 2 years away from adulthood, she can drive a care time to speak to her like the young woman she is and not a child. She wanted to be treated like a young adult like part of the family and be include in conversations now is the time to start acting like that.[/quote]
