One woman found herself dealing with this after putting her foot down against paying for her partner's son to come on vacation with them. Ever since they had started dating, the 19-year-old had been disrespectful towards her, culminating in him walking out of their home a year ago after he and his partner moved in with her and her teenage daughter.
However, once she started planning to pay for a vacation for her, her daughter, and her partner, her partner's son wanted to be included and paid for. She refused and began to face accusations of being immature and unreasonable. She wanted to know if this was true.

19-year-old stepson refuses to speak to father's partner for a year, protests when she won't pay for him to join them on vacation: 'He's had no relationship with me or my daughter'
Adjusting to a parent dating somebody new is something that a lot of kids find difficult. This counts for both younger and older, but in many ways, it can be more difficult with those who have reached the adolescent stage. They are already dealing with the difficulties of that awkward transition to adulthood, and adding any major changes to home life on top of that can be enough to tip them over the edge.
That being said, unless this is a situation in which they are being mistreated, there comes a time when the rebellion has to end and a sense of normalcy established. For some, this takes longer than others, and for others still, it never happens at all. If it is bad enough, it can leave the partner in question with a dilemma: is this person that they are in a relationship with worth the baggage of a stepchild who hates them?
