Unfortunately, though, Josh did not take the change of plans well and actually blew up on her. He reportedly accused her of being a jerk and claimed that since he was not her biological son, she had no right to take the basement away.
Josh also said that he was “sick and tired” of her showing favoritism toward her daughters. But honestly, she really believed she had tried her best to show Josh she cared about him.
“I brought him with us on trips. The girls enjoy his company and look up to him. I paid for his school trips. I sat with him during a lot of parent-teacher conferences. I called out from work when he was sick to take care of him,” she vented.
“I tried my best.”
In spite of her efforts, though, Josh is still obviously really angry about not getting to live in the basement. So now, she has been left wondering whether making her stepson switch bedrooms with her daughters makes her a real jerk or not.
Can you believe her husband never told her about his son before they got married? If your partner did that, how would you react? As for the bedrooms– do you think it’s fair for her daughters to get the basement? If so, how would you handle this situation?
