Raising a family can be tough, especially when new partners enter the picture. One mom of twin daughters (19f) found herself in a tough spot when her new husband, Kevin, began criticizing her girls for not following his strict rules. Despite talking to him about it, Kevin continued to judge their behavior and even called them “weirdos.”

But things came to a head when he refused to take them to dinner because he didn’t approve of their outfits. The girls were left waiting outside the restaurant in tears, and their mom had finally had enough. She stood up to Kevin and defended her daughters against his harsh judgment.

But will he come around and learn to accept them for who they are? Read on to find out, and to see what others have to say about this all-too-common family struggle.
