[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Wow some PPs are harsh. It’s OP’s house too. She takes the kid half the week, every week, and is for all reports (including the stepdaughter) a great (or at least decent) stepmom.

There’s no abuse at the other house. How do you know she’s not in her room because she can’t behave appropriately and is in a timeout.

OP married into a particular arrangement. She pays and contributes towards her house. She’s under no obligation (moral or otherwise) to take in a teen full time due to some conflict at her other home.

And in a few years the child may be demanding to move back when she doesn’t like the rules at OPs house.[/quote]

[b]OP wants to believe that[/b] there’s no abuse at the other house [b]because that is the most convenient thing for OP to believe[/b]. How do you know she’s not in her room because she can’t behave appropriately and is in a timeout.

OP married into a particular arrangement, [b]namely, a man with a child who is responsible for that child and who is legally and ethically obligated to act in the best interests of his child, first and foremost.  OP knowingly married this man with a family who, OP knew or should have known, would play an important, central role in this man's life.[/b] She pays and contributes towards her house[b], not that this is relevant in any way, shape or form.[/b] She’s under no obligation (moral or otherwise) to take in a [b]random teen off the street at any time, of course, but on the other hand, she is definitely obligated to live with her husband's daughter [/b]full time due to some conflict at her other home, [b]because that is what responsible adults do when their children, step- or otherwise, are in distress.[/b]

^^^ fixed that for you[/quote]
