It can be hard for a mother and a stepmother to get along, especially when it comes to making decisions about the child. Alice was in a tough spot when the ex-wife of her husband asked her to host their daughter’s sleepover. In the end, Alice said no because she didn’t think this should be her job. She asked us for help in a letter.

This is the letter from Alice:

“During the whole weekend of her birthday, my stepdaughter, who is 8, wants to have a sleepover with four of her friends. The ex-wife of my husband won’t host because her home is “too small.”

And I said NO because that would be too much work for me. Plus, I need the weekends to relax from my very hard job. To be fair, this should be the mom’s job, not mine.

“Well, you can go sleep at your mom’s house, and my ex-wife will come over and live with me for the whole weekend and watch the kids,” he said with a smirk. He spoke those words even though he knew they would make me madder.

I didn’t give in and said that having four kids over for the whole weekend is not okay with me. But my husband told me, “Then don’t plan on having your parents over for lunch every Sunday.” If my daughter can’t have anyone over to her house, then you shouldn’t be able to either!”

I’m still sure that I shouldn’t have to pay for this sleepover. Do I have it wrong?

Thanks,
Alice”
