We all try to treat our kids the same, but things can get tricky for families that are just getting together. Ellie was faced with this problem when she and her teenage daughter Amy moved into the home of her new husband, only to find that Amy wouldn’t have her own room. Ellie asked the daughter of her husband to give up her room, but things went badly very quickly.
This is the letter Ellie wrote:
“My 14-year-old daughter Amy and I moved into the two-bedroom house that my new husband owns.” I thought it was normal for Amy to take the second bedroom, which is my stepdaughter Caroline’s (15 years old). Amy will be living with us every day, while Caroline only stays there on the weekends.
That being said, my stepdaughter won’t give up her “precious” room. “My kid won’t sleep in the living room every night!” I told my husband. and had Amy move her things into the bedroom while Caroline was at her mom’s house that night.
My husband had locked the bedroom and changed the lock so Amy can’t get in again the next day. I was shocked. When I told him what I thought, he said, “Your daughter didn’t even have a proper room in your small apartment.” You slept next to each other. Now, I think she would be fine with sleeping on the couch in the living room; it’s really comfortable!”
I was very angry and insisted that my child should have a proper bedroom and not be treated like a second-class citizen in her new home. It breaks my heart and makes me very sad. Is this way of feeling wrong?
Thank you, Ellie”
