A real-life family drama with a Cinderella twist: two evil stepsisters and an evil stepmother.
A netizen recently asked, Am I a jerk for canceling the entire vacation when I found out that my stepdaughters deliberately hid my daughter’s passport to get her to stay home? We want you to decide.
Background:
The Original Poster (OP) has been married to his wife Beth for five years. He has a biological daughter named Jessica (she’s 18). And he also has two stepdaughters named Monica and Leah. They’re 25 and 28. Both are single moms and live with them currently.
What Issues Did They Work Out?
There’ve been issues about OP’s stepdaughters asking his daughter to babysit the kids.
Jessica didn’t have a problem with it at first since this is what she does to earn money but since her stepsisters don’t pay her much, she’d just refuse to babysit. They worked this out by having OP’s wife take care of paying for the babysitting.
What Happened When OP Planned A Vacation?
OP planned a family vacation for three days, and everyone wanted to go. However, both Monica & Leah suggested that Jessica stay home and watch the kids since Beth doesn’t want her grandkids to come.
OP Demanded To Stop
They said it’s because the kids are used to Jessica, and hiring another babysitter would cause issues. And also said that Jessica isn’t too “fond” of their destination, but it was obvious that Jessica wanted to go.
They insisted, and Beth offered to pay her double, and there was just..a lot of back and forth on this till OP demanded they stop bringing it up.
What Happened Last Week?
They were supposed to go last week, but when everybody had packed their bags, and it was time to go, Jessica found out that she didn’t have her passport on her. They searched her bag, then went home and searched there.
They Asked To Leave For The Airport
Beth and OP’s stepdaughters kept insisting that they go to the airport or else they’d miss their flight. They insisted that Jessica stays at home with the kids. They even told the new babysitter to go home because she was no longer needed.
The Climax
OP refused to go and kept searching for the passport until Monica admitted that she helped Leah hide Jessica’s passport to get her to stay home with the kids.
OP says, “I was livid. I tried to get her to tell me where it was, but she said Leah had it; Leah denied so I threatened to cancel the vacation that’s when they gave it back. I decided to cancel the vacation and blew up at both of them, and berated them.
They stayed upstairs for a while, and Beth refused to speak to me and said that I punished my stepdaughters for worrying about their kids and wanting them to stay with someone they know. I got told I overreacted and ruined the trip for everybody.”
Kick Them Out!
“Not the jerk. To be honest, I would have kicked your wife and lazy, no-good stepchildren out right then and there and ended the marriage.
If they were 12 I might understand this level of entitlement and immaturity. But in their late 20s??? And what the hell is wrong with your wife??? She should have roasted them for pulling this crap.”
Your Problem Is Bigger Than It Seems
“You don’t *just* have a stepdaughters-problem, you have a wife problem. I would rethink your current family situation and how your daughter is being treated.”
“Your stepdaughters are both trash. And your wife is worse. Not the jerk, and you should be reconsidering this marriage!”
Rebook The Vacation With Your ‘Cinderella’
“You’ve heard of Cinderella. Protect your daughter, get her the hell out of there!”
“Rebook the vacation. Someplace your daughter would like. It will be a less expensive trip this time because the passport-stealing stepdaughters and their spawn can stay home and think about what they did.
You didn’t ruin anything. Your stepdaughters did.”
