Mother supports 15-year-old daughter's decision not to invite 16-year-old stepbrother to her weekend birthday getaway, husband tries to push back: ‘No boys. No drama’

A teen's 16th birthday is something special. Some kids opt for a quiet weekend with their closest friends, while others might want to deck a venue out with streamers and string lights and invite over 100 people. Everyone differs, which is the beauty of humanity! What I like might not be what you like, which is alright as long as no one gets hurt. Right?

Most blended families have a history of stepsiblings failing to get along. Whether it's the moody teenage son's fault or the stuck-up younger sister's, what matters is that you make both kids feel comfortable. Having an already existing family join yours is not easy to deal with, especially if you're comfortable in your previous family dynamic. So, if your daughter explains that she wants to celebrate her birthday with her closest gal pals, without inviting her "annoying" stepbrother along, you listen. What does a teen boy have any business celebrating with his stepsister's gal pals anyway? These are the questions we need to be asking. Scroll below to read the entire story, including opinions from commenters who think Mom got it right.
