AITAH if I tell my stepdaughter she’s not welcome
My SD is 22. We have custody of her 2 year old for various reasons and she recently had another baby who she’s managed to hang on to for now.
Since she’s had the new baby she’s not really been bothered with the 2yo and if she does have him she either plonks him in a high chair in front of the TV or leaves both him and her with my MIL while she goes back to bed claiming she’s too tired. She’s also got it into her head that everyone favours the 2yo over the baby because we don’t include her in things or take her out. She’s been told he’s not favoured but as he lives with us and the baby doesn’t we can’t include her in everything and some of the things we do with him aren’t appropriate for a 2 month old. There seems to be lots of resentment by her towards the 2 yo.
Last week I asked SDs mom to have the 2 yo as SD should have had him the week before and let him down. She kicked off at my husband calling him a c**t and saying Wednesdays had always been her day. Because I needed to leave the house at 7.30 to go to work and she’s so unreliable with time or says she can’t have him because of xyz we made arrangements for him to go to her mom’s. I asked her if she wanted the 2yo today for a few hours and she just replied the baby isn’t well. She doesn’t seem to realise that...
