[quote=Anonymous]NP here. As I read this thread, all I can think about is that this sweet 7 year old is dealing with family circumstances that she did not create. Agree with other posters that it is critical for everyone involved to act like a team and put the best interests of ALL the kids first. Taking your stepdaughter to work does seem like an unusual solution, but it's a solution. I have to imagine that the mom has no other options. Yes, she should have planned ahead....but perhaps you and DH should have been aware as well? How often do you spend one-on-one time with your stepdaughter. Maybe this is entirely off the table, but can you imagine how she would feel if you took the day off and did something special with her? What would you hope for if it were your biological child in question and you just could not take off work for some reason?[/quote]
