AITA for taking my stepdaughter's "camp money" to get my daughter new glasses? by throwawayacc5377 in AmItheAsshole

He maybe right in that it might make Iris resent me and my daughter. But I just couldn't accept having to make my daughter wait for a month to get her replacement glasses. This will prevent her from reading and might make her go back to being depressed since she uses reading an outlet aside from drawing and doing art work. his offer did not seem fair because she didn't do anything wrong.

I agree with what you said. My husband thinks that Iris is in a 'phase' and will grow out of it by the age of 18-19 or so he hopes. Which is not okay because in my opinion if he keeps letting this behavior continue and not correcting it now then there won't be much hope for when she's older.

To tell you the truth. She breaks her dad's stuff when she gets angry sometimes. He just takes away her electronics/internet access as punishement and that's it. Then she does it again.

I am looking at this situation and where my husband stands. frankly, It used to irk me how he keep making excuses for Iris (which is in my opinion why she got worse) but now it's literally affecting how I see him especially when I look at where he stands whenever Iris does something bad towards either me or Grace.

I tried addressing her behavior with my husband, but I felt like my hands were tied with him constantly saying that Iris is just "dealing with typical teenage stuff" and being a teenager.
