So, we have a 16-year-old girl who’s about to move into her grandparents’ house with her blended family. She’s had a room there for years, complete with a full bath and walk-in closet. But when her stepmom sees the room, she insists that the girl’s step-sisters should have it instead, claiming it’s ‘the most practical thing.’ The girl refuses, and her dad supports her decision.
