This wife is going through a high-risk pregnancy, and her doctor suggested she try to be on bed rest as much as possible. The thing is, the couple's bedroom is upstairs, so the constant up-and-down could become a bit of a strain. But no need to worry, she came up with a perfect solution: swapping downstairs bedrooms with one of her step-daughters…Wait a second, for some reason, they did not appreciate this idea as much as she had hoped! And instead of her husband coming to her defense, he took their side instead!

Pregnant stepmom on bed rest requests teen stepdaughters temporarily swap downstairs bedrooms with her to avoid stairs, but when they refuse, claiming it's a "hassle" to move, her husband defends them: 'Made me think I'm behaving like an evil stepmother'
Having older step-children can often mean having to tread thin waters…but when you're months into your pregnancy, constantly treading water becomes almost physically impossible…It's natural to struggle with stepkids, especially when trying to make them accept you with open arms. Because oftentimes when someone new enters your life, it can feel disruptive and unfamiliar…but that does not mean they have to take on the role of the evil step-parent. In many cases, if you show a new step-parent interest and acceptance, they will do the same…However, this doesn't mean it'll always be that problem-free.
This pregnant woman would know, as a new step-mother to two teenage girls! Now, if there were to be a most complex and difficult step-parent dynamic to step into, that would undoubtedly be it! However, these daughters are sweet and tolerable when it comes to their stepmom, but remain far from willing to change every aspect of their daily lives and home to make her feel more comfortable! Alongside their father, who agrees that they shouldn't have to!
