Combining families is something that almost always comes with some kind of drama. As a parent, gaining stepchildren gives you a crucial dilemma: how do you treat them when you have your own kids to parent too? You don't just have to worry about keeping all the children happy, but also you partner as well.
This is something that many moms and dads sadly do not succeed in making the right choice with. This is something that one teenager suffered through for the past six years when his widowed father got into a relationship with a woman who had two kids of her own. Ever since, he felt like he was overlooked in favor of making his stepsiblings happy, something he discussed with his dad but saw no progress with. This led him to snub his dad's birthday, which neither he nor his stepmom was happy about. However, Reddit was on his side.
