Many remarriages create blended families, and the children involved are thrown into a world of “steps” – stepmothers, stepfathers, step-siblings, and step-grandparents. As of 2019, more than 3.9 million kids lived in households with stepparents in the United States.
Once uncommon in American culture, 7% of kids are now part of blended families. And their parents sometimes struggle just as much as the children themselves when navigating this dynamic.
Father and Reddit user AdeptPromise9890 posted a story to the platform’s ‘Am I the [Jerk]?’ community, seeking opinions on how he rearranged his household’s living situation. However, many believed that he should have given more thought to his decisions, as his daughter from his previous marriage ended up at a disadvantage.

If you don't have space for all your kids, don't have so many kids. WTF is wrong with people? All the rooms in your house are full but you're ****ing out another one? And the one who's already having the hardest time gets screwed?

Idiotic. If I was the 14 year old I’d be pissed. Why can’t the brothers share a damn room

Pissed? I'd be gone. She's with her mom most of the year, and now that her dad has clearly demonstrated that she's a burden and has no place in his new family, I doubt she'll be using that bedroom anymore.
