[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]If my step daughter felt that she owned her father and had the right to dictate to him how he lives, I would tell him not to have her in my house. And we live in my house.

Thing is, I think a lot of kids feel they own their parents. I didn't. I knew my mom and dad would choose each other over me or my siblings. Somehow, that is not acceptable to kids when it involves a new love interest for the parent. If the bio mom and dad said they didn't want holidays with the kids or wanted to do their own thing, somehow that is less terrible?

If you want a relationship that both of you enjoy, you need to meet the parent on those terms. They give you life and raise you, though in some cases they choose to just send a check and leave because there is no life for them there except for the kid, and if they don't see that kid very often, it is hardly a life.

Maybe you are the selfish one for wanting to own you parent and for resenting them finding happiness.

Kids are born, its biology. It does not mean the world revolves around them. Sorry. Ask any crack whore's kid.[/quote]
