He Thinks His Stepdaughter Is Acting Like A Brat By Not Sharing Her Lactose-Free Milk
This forty-year-old man is married, and he and his wife both have children from previous relationships. He has an eighteen-year-old son named Connor, and his wife has a sixteen-year-old daughter, Sasha.
Sasha currently spends about half the month at his house and the other half at her biological father’s. Meanwhile, Connor also has a girlfriend– Hannah– who stays at his home three to four days a week.
And having Sasha and Hannah living under the same roof has been causing some problems– specifically, because they are both lactose intolerant.
He and his wife started buying both regular and lactose-free milk once Sasha started frequently staying there.
“And I’ll admit, Sasha’s milk is quite expensive because she only likes a certain kind that she can also drink alone– not just with coffees or smoothies,” he explained.
But, the real issue is Hannah using Sasha’s milk. Apparently, Hannah would constantly drink the lactose-free milk whenever she was staying with Connor– which caused Sasha to complain several times.
So, Sasha asked him and his wife to set some clearer boundaries. For example, Sasha wanted him to either buy her and Hannah their own specific gallons or tell Hannah to buy her own lactose-free milk.
In an effort to avoid conflict, though, his wife decided to just buy Sasha a mini fridge to keep in her own room. That way, Sasha could store her own milk and other personal food items in private. However, he found this to be super disrespectful.
“I mean, it’s just milk. We can always buy more,” he said.

On top of that, the lactose-free milk being stored separately pushed Hannah to constantly ask Sasha to borrow milk every day. And Sasha does say yes most of the time, but when she has decided Hannah has had “enough” milk, she lies and says she is about to run out.
Anyway, this issue became even more complicated a few days ago when Sasha visited her father. While she was gone, he went grocery shopping and got more milk for the communal fridge.
Once Sasha got back, though, she apparently tried to take the lactose-free milk to her room and put it in her mini fridge. But, he stopped Sasha and said that it was not allowed since the lactose-free milk was meant for the whole house.
Sasha apparently did not even respond and just went back to her room. And about six hours later, Sasha’s dad got involved.
“Sasha’s dad pulled over and bought her a gallon. He told us that we didn’t have to buy any more lactose-free milk for Sasha since he would be taking care of it from now on, but that my son’s girlfriend was not allowed to have any,” he recalled.
So, now that Sasha’s father has tried to step in, his wife is really angry. His wife thinks that they should have just let Sasha hold onto her own milk and bought extra when Hannah stayed over.
Nonetheless, he just thinks that Sasha is being a brat by not wanting to share. Still, though, his wife’s pushback has forced him to wonder if Sasha was not overreacting and if he acted like a jerk.
Do you think the girls should just get their own milk or figure out a system to share? Was Sasha really overreacting or not? How would you have handled this situation?
