[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP, you have been in your step-daughters life since she was like 14. Did you contribute to household expenses for the years before you had your own child? Or did DH cover everything entirely? Do you feel no affinity towards her as a step child? You also don't say what his agreed upon expenses are, are these much higher than yours? Are they 50/50? Proportional to salary? Or is he expected to cover most everything and you just buy fun baby clothes and whatever you want on amazon?[/quote] Stepparents are in no way responsible for their stepkids so anything they do is to be decent. Kid has two parents. Kid is living above their means. They don't need a car and car insurance (especially a car with a payment). And, if OP wants to spend money on their kids and themselves they have every right to. This stepkid and spouse sound irresponsible.[/quote]
