[quote=Anonymous]I suspect it's a chicken-egg sort of thing. OP goes in guns a-blazing because the daughters are asking Dad for money (in the sort of normal way you might expect an under-25 kid to do). Now if the kids are expecting Daddy to pay for an apartment in the chicest part of town, and essentially subsidize a "Sex and the City/Friends" lifestyle, that's one thing. But treating the kids to dinner every few weeks, taking them to the Kennedy/Lincoln/whatever Center, well, that's part of being a parent. (Adjust the expectations per incomes.) The daughters are inclined to dislike OP because she's Not Mommy. So they magnify any slight OP gives (real or perceived) until it reaches the point where OP ends up insulting the kids at their baby showers by giving a bib set (really, OP? Now you're acting in manners any outsider would label with the Evil Stepmother.)[/quote]
