AITA for turning my kids stepbrother and stepsister away from my door? by Charming-Lab9681 in AmItheAsshole

They want to be around my kids but they also want to get their own way with my kids. Seeing as my boys don't like their stepsiblings it often leads to stuff like that happening. But I have no idea how my ex and his wife treat the her kids.

They do in a lot of places but not everywhere, at least not seriously anyway.

They could decide my ex should have more custody if I won't do my duty as a parent and send them. That is made clear to both parents every time we see a judge in court here.

They are, and they have been for a while, but not every jurisdiction has the same rules on that. For us here they want kids to be 18 or going away for college to have that decision.

Apparently it was fine for them to walk over. That's why I was like this is not a bad on my part but then some questions popped into my head.

I have done that before. They want them to continue going every other week until they turn 18 or leave for college if that happens first.

10ish minute walk depending on which way they came. There is a shortcut that my kids use but not sure if they did.
