Her Dad And Stepmom Think She’s Cruel For Skipping Out On A Milestone Vacation With Her Stepsiblings
This 16-year-old girl’s parents are divorced, and because of this, she spends every other week with each of her parents.
Last year, she began spending more time at her mom’s house than her dad’s. Her dad has gotten remarried since the divorce, but her mom has not.
Her dad and her stepmom have three children together, ages eight, six, and four.
“My dad’s house has more money, and they go on more vacations than my mom can afford,” she explained.
“This year, my mom was able to get money for us to go on vacation, but it overlapped with my dad’s Disney booking.”
She let her dad know that she really wanted to go on vacation alone with her mom instead of going on a trip with him, her stepmom, and her stepsiblings.
Her dad pointed out that this was a milestone vacation for her stepsiblings, and he didn’t think she would want to skip it.
Picking a vacation with her mom was a lot more important to her, though, as she has not been able to go on vacation with her mom for the last seven years.
The vacations happened more than a month ago, yet her stepmom and dad initially understood her preferring to be with her mom.

Recently, their attitudes changed, and they are angry that her mom didn’t give up the vacation so she could witness her stepsiblings going to Disney for the first time in their lives.
“They said they were sorry my mom denied me the opportunity to enjoy the amazing moment,” she said.
“I told them they were getting a bit carried away over it all and it wasn’t a big deal. They said that given how important my siblings are to me, it was a huge deal to make me miss out on those memories and experiences with them.”
“I told them I did not care about being there for their first time at Disney. I said I never cared about seeing their first vacation, etc. That they care as their parents, but they are not such a huge deal in my life that I am feeling denied milestones for them.”
She really shocked her dad and stepmom after she admitted her real feelings, but the reality is she would rather be making memories with her mom than with her stepsiblings.
Her dad and stepmom did not want to hear this and didn’t take her honesty well at all. They have since accused her of being cruel, uncaring, and leading the family on.
She’s left wondering if it was rude of her to say she didn’t care to be there for a milestone vacation with her stepsiblings.
