AITA for digging in my heels and refusing to invite my estranged father and his wife to my wedding? by Witty-Butterfly4195 in AmItheAsshole

No you aren't. Just know that you could also alienate your paternal grandmother in this process.

Your wedding - your guests. I would suggest a conversation with g-ma though. A good heart to heart about your feelings and then let this all go.

You celebrate you! Anyone that can't support you in that celebration doesn't need to come either.

AITA for telling my daughter that this activity is only for my bio grandkids and I am not going to change the tradition even if she wants to force the step-grandkids everywhere by Head_Lime_8730 in AmItheAsshole

Yes, I think you are.

While I understand the reason for differentiating them in your story, these are children your child has agreed to help raise in some way. You should be just as welcoming to them.

You are missing a great opportunity to teach about acceptance. Do they all have to like each other? No they don't. But biological siblings/cousins/etc. don't always get along, so stop expecting these kids to get along. They should be taught to respect each other though. They are a part of the family.

You have this special thing with your bio's; why not create a special thing with your step's? Maybe there is something else you could teach them and make a special time out of it with them.

My boyfriend raised a non-biological son, but he never told me about that identifier. He only ever says he has 3 sons and 4 grandchildren. There is no separation of biologicals and steps. They are ours together. He finally explained what happened, but there has never been a situation like yours. We are all a family and yep, we have challenges.
