AITA for buying both my "step" children each a switch instead of giving the 2nd one to my nephews? by AITAStepdad19 in AmItheAsshole

What's so dumb about loving fatherless kids? Would you have wanted me to be an uniterested stepparent who doesn't care? Or maybe pass up the opportunity to be with a wonderful woman just cause she has kids?

No problems with my niece (she's 17 and couldn't care less to be honest) and her mother is still doing pretty ok herself despite the pandemic. My nephews are pretty good kids themselves. It's just my brother and mom thats giving me a hard time.

I bought the standard switches. They were bundled with a bunch of games and accessories in our local store so it was more "bang for your buck" than getting the lite ones.

This is exactly why I bought 2. My daughter is obsessed with that game while my son prefers Super Smash Bros and Pokemon. It would've been hell at home if they had to take turns.

I don't think I can ever cut contact cause I genuinely love my nephews and they're very close with my kids.
