My stepbrat just closed on her firts house

[mowin]

Wife's daughter closed on her first house today. She did it all on her own. No help from anyone. She's 25, new car, full-time job in hospital administration, with 15 staff she superives. All while taking full time online college classes for her masters, which she'll be done with next spring. Mom and I are very proud of her.

Well, unfortunately she doesn't accept me as a father figure. Her mom and I got together in 2008 when she was 13. She would never ask me for anything. I will do whatever I can to help her out, but will never ask me for anything. So nope no bbq for her.

So proud of her. Unfortunately she'll never admit I had anything to do with her becoming who she is today. Maybe when I'm planted 6' under, and her future kids ask, she might acknowledge I had some influence in her upbringing.

Totally understand your mixed feelings. I also have a step brat. Thankfully I also have a step son and daughter who do recognize my efforts over the last 20 years lol.

It's been so difficult. She would never reach out for any kind of help from me, but if she thought it was only from mom, she would gladly except it, lol.
I truly believe when I'm planted 6' under, she'll realize my intentions and realize I only wanted the best for her.

Still a good reason to be proud of her! It's tough becoming the " new dad" at that age, at least for her. So just help mom be supportive of step brat and maybe someday she'll come around.

Good for her. Sounds more motivated than others in her generation.
My natural children are of the same age and highly motivated in their careers.

Bad age to step in as step dad. Sounds as her mother could have been more supportive to your cause.

My kids will tell you I was a Good and Bad influence on them. They are all Feminists now and Im a Patriarchal and Oppresive MAN!...JJ

Congrats to the young lady. Wish my step-brat could at least try to be more like her.
