Mother refuses to force her son to pick up and drop off his stepsister at camp after her ex-husband insists he do so: 'He told me as a mom I should want our son to be kind'

Parenting 101: Have your child's back when others try to force them into doing things they don't want to do. Of course, there are exceptions to this "rule," but it's important to show your child that you're hearing them and respecting their boundaries. If you don't, you might risk losing contact with them some time down the line, then read a Reddit post that sounds eerily similar to your now-estranged son… This scenario has to have happened at least once. Reddit: Connecting estranged family members since 2005!

The situation in this next story is pretty simple, but a certain ex-husband refuses to take no for an answer, which results in a family feud between step-siblings and ex-lovers.

If your child doesn't want to do their step-sibling any favors, do you have the right to tell them otherwise? Speaking plainly, yes—but why would you want to force them into anything if there's an alternative solution? I mean, it's better to figure out some other way to remedy a situation than to risk crossing your child's boundaries, repeatedly, until they no longer see you as an ally. Scroll below to see how a mother has her child's back, no matter how big or small the situation may be.
