Recently, a mom’s post shared on the Mumsnet forum caught everyone’s attention and divided opinions.
“My partner has an 8-year-old girl from a previous relationship and we’ve just had a baby (currently 3 months),” the mom explained. “Now, I really want to go on holiday just me, my partner and my baby,” she explained.
The controversy was stirred by the fact that the mom doesn’t want her stepdaughter on her holiday with her. Read on below to find out what the mom had to say about it, and make sure to share your thoughts in the comments below!

Great idea! And for her ninth birthday, you can get the bakery to ice "You're not mine and I don't love you" on her cake.

She thinks a holiday will be relaxing with a baby around? LOL she's delusional. She's better off leaving both the kids at home if she really wants a relaxing holiday all that much...

Don't get married to someone who already is a parent and then have a child with him unless you are going to be parent for the existing child. YABTA!

And yet....all of the modern guidance is that you are NOT their parent, shouldn't force the child to see you as a parent, should defer to their real parents in all things and never attempt to replace or usurp a parent.if or when this kid calls her mom? Then she gets full mom treatment. Until then, they are step child and step parent, which is a completely different relationship. They are required to be respectful and pleasant to each other, and that is it.
