UPDATE: Stepmother insists 18-year-old stepdaughter gets a job after her car breaks down, dad gets involved, refusing to support daughter: ‘You will not be seeing any money from me’

Being a parent is hard; being a stepparent is even harder; being a stepparent who has to put their foot down to ensure their stepkid does not make crucial mistakes in life is practically impossible.

Most parents find themselves handling situations with the Good Cop/ Bad Cop approach, even if it's not intended. There will always be one parent who is considered more strict than the other, no matter how much they may try to avoid it.

A stepparent who finds themselves in the Bad Cop's shoes might face even more backlash from their kid, so it's even more important to have the support of their spouse in these matters, which almost did not happen in the story below.

If you haven't read the original tale (you can still do so here and come back to this update), let us give you a quick rundown: This stepmother has noticed that her husband and his ex-wife have been doing a poor job of educating their 19-year-old daughter. She decided to step in when the daughter broke down her car and demanded to use one of the stepmother's two cars. 

Last we heard, Dad was not aware of this argument, but that changed in the update below.
