Her Husband Called Her Petty For How She Treated A 10-Year-Old Who Stole Some Items From Her Stepdaughter And Wouldn’t Give Them Back
This woman’s husband has 2 daughters from his previous marriage; 12-year-old Addison and 9-year-old Madeline.
Her husband and his ex-wife split up during her pregnancy with Madeline, and she began dating her husband not long after that.
She has been a part of Addison’s life since she was 3, and Madeline’s life since she was 6-months-old.
During school months, she and her husband have primary custody of the girls, but over the summer, they spend 3 weeks at their house and 1 week at their mom’s home.
“Their bio mom has a 10-year-old stepdaughter, Lauren, that can be a bit of a bully,” she explained.
“Madeline is very shy and has some sensory issues and minor developmental and speech delays so she’s seen as an easy target for Lauren. All 3 girls share a room so Madeline doesn’t really have an escape from Lauren.”
“Last time I picked the girls up, Madeline ran to me and said that Lauren took a lot of her clothes and toys and wouldn’t give them back.”
“Their bio mom said Madeline gave them to Lauren but Addison confirmed that Lauren did take them from Madeline. I was able to get a couple of things back, like her favorite pajamas and stuffed animal but Lauren and their bio mom wouldn’t give anything else back.”
Addison and Madeline’s mom lives right near 2 very high-end malls. She and her husband are pretty well-off, but Addison and Madeline’s mom is not.

So, when Addison and Madeline’s mom refused to make Lauren give back all of Madeline’s things, she knew what to do.
She promised Addison and Madeline that they can go to both of the malls and go on a shopping spree, and she did this in front of Lauren.
“Lauren said she wants to come, but I told her that she just got a lot of new clothes and toys so she doesn’t need to go,” she said.
“She gave a lot more of Maddie’s stuff back and asked if I could take her now but the answer was still no.”
“Lauren threw a temper tantrum and the girls’ bio mom has decided I am no longer welcome at her house and that she will only release the girls to their dad (which is against the custody order). My husband is defending me to their bio mom but he is saying I was petty and I shouldn’t have done that.”
She’s left wondering if what she did was wrong. What do you think?
