[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]What is OP supposed to do, abort her daughter?[/quote]

She is supposed to stop thinking she's entitled to a do-over nuclear family at the expense of three other children's well-being. Instead she should accept that she created a family her DH cannot handle, and should make some changes to simplify their home life. She should stop blaming the ex-wife, who is only trying to help a struggling child. And she should not have any more kids.[/quote]

Harsh, but true.[/quote]

Talk about bigotry!

This whole thread is a classic example of how women who are in a stepmother role are absolutely, unrelentingly vilified as the enemy and the fundamental cause of problems. Now it is the fault of the SM because she wants a child with her husband? And she should forgo that?

Maybe the ex wife cheated, filed for divorce from her husband, destroyed the family unit and is now positioning herself as the Holy Mother who has made no mistakes in her decision making.

But let's not consider that as it would be sacrilege. Only the woman who is in the SM role is to be criticized and condemned. [/quote]

I have no opinions about the XW other than that she's probably trying to help her struggling daughter as best she knows how, and the SM should stop blaming the XW and take a good look at herself and her DH's parenting of this struggling, unhappy child and how their choices placed a lot of stress on her.

The SM is at fault here for having a larger and more complicated family than she and her DH can handle. Her DH is equally at fault for that. The XW didn't make the SM and the dad have more babies. I don't think anyone should have more children than they can handle, period, no matter how in love they are. A new marriage isn't an entitlement to have more kids if you can't actually manage the household successfully. [/quote]
