He and his wife have a rule in the house that his stepdaughter can dye her hair however she chooses, so long as she doesn’t ruin a bunch of towels in the process, so his wife’s meltdown over hair dye wasn’t warranted.
Several weeks have gone by since the meltdown, and his stepdaughter won’t say a word to his wife. His wife has doubled down on trying to make his stepdaughter change her style.
“Every day, she brings home some type of trendy clothing in pink or pastels and tries to give it to my daughter,” he continued.
“My daughter is getting fed up and stays in her room all day and has confessed to me she can’t wait for school to start back up in a few weeks so she can get out [of] the house and be with her friends again.”
“I don’t know what to do. I feel like I’m stuck between a rock and a hard place. I don’t want to “side” with anyone in this situation. I understand my wife wants a daughter who she can relate, and my daughter wants a mom who understands her. I don’t know what I can or should do. I need help.”
What advice do you have for him?
