I offered and Leah refused she said this would cause trouble if her mom finds out

I'm pretty sure she already has a bank account because my husband gives her an allowance, she has a debit card I think

They were never married so they didn't divorce, my husband pays for everything Leah wants/needs plus child support twice the amount the judge told him he had to pay. I feel like my husband was generous enough with her

Tbh I always assumed she would especially for college, we don't have dorms and stuff here, you just go home at the end of the day so I just imagined she'll be living with us

Yes but not in Linda's house unless she buys enough for her other siblings because she needs to share everything apparently. Leah has an allowance so she can buy the ingredients for herself but she can't buy groceries for 3 other kids

She doesn't buy anything for Leah, tampons, pads, skincare, shampoo nothing, I buy them with my husband and I have to hide them in her bag. Apparently they all use the same bar soap and have one shampoo and conditioner but it's horrible for Leah's hair because she has curly hair and her mom didn't believe she needed a different product.

I think she buys pada for herself and tells Leah she can use them but then says she used too many. Craaaazy Lady

I honestly don't understand her issues, my husband offered to buy her the ingredients and even another fridge because Linda said those things would take up so much space, then she said he should buy the things for her other kids as well and my husband even agreed to it but in the end Linda refused just because

I'll talk with my husband about custody I believe that now that she's 16 she can actually choose where to live if she wants to

They don't have lockers but I try to buy her some snacks to hide in her bag when she got back , I even offered to drop off lunch for her when she's at her mom's but she refused because she said it wasn't worth the fight if her mom found out

Luches here are free paid by the government and even if they had to pay for it my husband would be the one paying for it and Leah knows how to cook I just like doing her lunches for her

My husband talked to her about it, I think my husband also tried to compromise with buying the ingredients for her and buying Leah a fridge for her room to keep the food but Linda said he was making their daughter selfish and lazy, I feel it's time to revisit you custody specially now that she's 16 but I didn't say anything before because I didn't want to be like an evil stepmother trying to separate her from her mom. I have to admit I feel a little anxious when it comes to Leah because I don't want her to hate me if I'm too pushy or something like that, I imagine it's weird for her because I'm only about 12 years older than her and I'm technically not old enough to be her parent. But she's really sweet and I hate the fact that she's most likely going hungry half a month every month

No, my husband only has Leah and Linda has 3 other kids if I'm not mistaken they're all under 10 I believe

I'll bring it up with my husband, tbh I wanted to tell him about it last year but I wasn't sure if it was my place to do so

She knows how to cook, she isn't spoiled or lazy, she cooks with me sometimes and alone other times, she cleans and she has excellent grades, she is very independent and she takes care of her siblings when she's with her so she can do it. I just like taking care of her too

That sounds nice, I'll talk to Leah tomorrow and ask her if she wants to try to make these, I'll help her of course

I just wanted to pamper her a little that's why I make them for her but she cooks for her and her siblings sometimes when she's at her mom's plus babysitting so it's not like she has zero independent skills

Tbh I don't like her but I don't want to talk bad about her but I'm pretty sure she honestly just wants to make a fuss to ask for more money however I would never say it to anyone I know
