When it comes to money, some blended families have trouble, and it can be hard to make sure that all the kids are treated fairly. For example, Lindsay thought about buying her daughter a pricey graduation gift because she wanted her to be treated the same as her stepdaughter. However, her husband didn’t agree, saying it was his money and suggesting a cheaper option. Lindsay was upset and asked us for help figuring out what to do next.

Here is the letter from Lindsay:

“I planned to give my daughter a $3,200 gift for her graduation.” Just last year, my husband of 12 years got a $3,200 gift for the graduation of his own daughter.

He told her, “You don’t make any money!” Spend less on the gift or ask her dad to pay!” He said, “I don’t think it’s my responsibility to buy her a gift from my own money in the first place; it should be you or her dad.”

He said that even though he knew I would never ask my ex-husband to help me buy our daughter a gift. We’re not friendly, and if I asked him, I’d be putting myself down. I had to get my daughter a smaller present because I had no other choice.

My stepdaughter came up to me on graduation day and said, “I will never let your daughter feel like she isn’t good enough.” I disagree with my dad!”

Then she gave me a small box. When I opened it, I was shocked to see a piece of jewelry that looked a lot like the one her dad had given her last year and the one I was going to buy for my own daughter.

I hugged my sweet stepdaughter with tears in my eyes. But I still can’t forgive my husband for how he treats my child and me. I felt terrible about what he did because he raised her for ten years.

What should I do?

Thank you, Lindsay”
