The Step-Mother Visits Her Step-DaughterThe stepmother, who we’ll call Anne, is 29 years old, and was visiting her husband’s daughter, 12 years old, in her hometown.
Anne said, “My husband and I are currently visiting his daughter in her hometown. One of the things we did is go shopping at Target.” Anne noted that before going shopping, she asked her step-daughter’s mother if she’s allergic or sensitive to anything
The Shopping TripAnne said, “while at Target my step daughter really like some shorts but she refused to get them because she does not wear shorts outside (even in summer) because her legs are really hairy
The Mother’s PerspectiveThe stepdaughter’s mother eventually saw her daughter’s hairless legs and became very angry. She sent Anne and her husband an email calling them ‘irresponsible’ for going against her wishes.
The DebateAnne believed that she was helping her stepdaughter and did not see anything wrong with it. Before the shopping trip to Target, she had no idea that the stepdaughter’s mother did not allow her to shave.
