'I'm not cutting grandma off for a stepsister I didn't ask for': Dad chooses 16-year-old step-daughter over his 17-year-old son, asks him to cut off his grandmother because she didn't get stepdaughter as many Christmas presents last year

You can't force sibling relationships between two stepchildren, and you can't force a stepmom or a stepdad to be accepted into a parental role by the child they're step-parenting. While it can be difficult for a parent when their child seemingly stubbornly refuses to accept their new partner and their children, it is so much harder for the kid to be gaslit into treating people who are functionally strangers as close and beloved family members. Emotional closeness between blended family members has to be formed over time, and there's a good chance it won't happen at all.

It's common for children in blended families to feel like their parents chose their partner over them, but in this case, the child felt like his dad chose his stepsister over him. After his dad married his stepmom, he started to feel like a stranger in his own family, so he turned to his paternal grandmother for support.

The dad in this story truly can't stand that there's a member of the family who does not treat his son like a second-class citizen in favor of his stepdaughter. Luckily, his son has a strong head on his shoulders and isn't going to succumb to paternal pressures.
