[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Is your mom still in the picture?  I am a custodial step mom to 18, 17, 15 yo and we have 8 yo twins. I’ve never thought about money when it comes to SKs, but as they get older and I see bio mom living the good life (vacation house, travel), I am starting to be a bit more questioning. I imagine my thoughts will continue to evolve when they get older.  But, I think your thoughts and feelings are totally justified, and I like the recommendations to maybe work on doing things with just your dad.  Blended families are nuanced. Merry Christmas.

They have two sets of parents so it doesn't have to be equal, but you should pay for all kids when you go out to eat, for example.  But, this happens in families without divorce, set-parents too as my parents are like this.  They buy my sibling tons of gifts and give her money (neither of us need it) and get me nothing.  Then they get angry I don't care nor do my kids (who they don't get stuff for either).  They will see my sibling regardless of covid, but say they cannot see us (even though we are being extremely careful and none of them are).  And, then they bitterly complain to everyone they don't see us when they declined.[/quote]
