16-year-old stepdaughter causes a stink about going to Disney with the family, stepmother leaves her behind: 'If someone else likes something, she finds ways to criticize it'

Let's face it: a lot of us were miserable about stuff when we were kids and teenagers that we would later go on to regret. Even if you have the most positive home environment, it's a confusing and difficult time in your development. Even still, I know there were times when I caused a stink about something only to go on to have the best day, leaving me with lifelong regret for making it difficult for my parents in the first place. 

But, when you're a teen, there's a high likelihood that you're going to develop a contrarian view on anything related to family and your younger siblings: You're an adult now and need to find a way to make that apparent and differentiate yourself from the other "kids." In your confusion, you tend to hurt your own interests and take it out on those who mean well to you. That's probably what's going on in this thread, which was shared by a stepmother about her teen stepdaughter, who is refusing to find joy in things shared and enjoyed by the rest of the family. The stepmother posted to this community, wondering whether she was in the wrong for excluding her stepdaughter from the proceedings.
