Divorced woman refuses to let her 2 ex-stepchildren stay at her house when her biological daughter does, her ex-husband insists despite the children's rejection of her as a mother figure years ago: ‘[The children] told me I was cruel’

When a family separates, how do you reconcile with a new normal? How amicable were the divorce proceedings? Do you have children together? Now ex-stepchildren? Typically, a court helps the two adults flesh out the details, and that's enough. However, many adults who ultimately become single parents of multiple children might find it unfair that their ex-partner has fewer children under their custody, and might try to pull a fast one on the ex-partner. The ex-husband in this next story tries to dump his two daughters on his ex-wife, who only has joint custody of their biological daughter. Why should the ex-wife be beholden to taking care of her ex-stepchildren, especially when they didn't want her as a mother when the two parents were together?

Commenters speculate that the ex-husband is trying to get back on the dating wagon or has done so already, because he insists that his two daughters stay the night at his ex-wife's house when she has their biological daughter at her home. When the ex-wife concedes and settles for a compromise during the day instead of an overnight stay, her ex-husband wants nothing to do with it. If his daughters truly wanted to hang out with their ex-stepmom, their father would have agreed to this compromise, no? Scroll below to continue the story.
