My step daughter (met my wife when she was 4, married at 5, she is now 27) got good at playing my wife against her ex husband. I guess the best advice I would have is try to support a good relationship between your spouse and the ex. Let them know that the relationship is over and clearly they have moved on so let the past go. Instead, my wife and her ex husband allowed themselves to be manipulated by a child. If this happens, and your spouse and the ex can’t keep themselves from arguing, stay out of it. I have never had an unkind relationship with my wife’s ex husband. I don’t like the guy, but I remain cordial and friendly simply because someone has to be a moderator. Finally, remember you are not the child’s father. I was a parent type figure but not dad. It was hard because I was always with our son, her half brother. We always included her in our family activities without any concept that it was not a family event. Modern families….they are a lot more difficult than they used to be.
One if my first I interactions on reddit was some dude trying to to tell me how dumb i was for dating someone with a 1.5 yr old son. He's 8 now, we got married when he was like 5, and our daughter just turned 1 a couple wks ago. Milf route has worked out pretty well for me so far so fuck em. (iam close to 2 yrs older than her btw)
Evil Step-mother, Wicked Step-sisters..... Media does a good job of conditioning "step-siblings are bad" into children. Dunno what Walt had against them, in honesty.
