This man experienced the loss of his father. Along with his wife, ‘Candace,’ and his daughter, ‘Shiloh,’ they traveled to their hometown to attend the funeral. Two stepdaughters, aged 19 and 17, also accompanied them on the trip. After the funeral, the family stayed in two hotel rooms—one for him and Candace and another for the three girls.
His Daughter Calls Him
He received a call from his daughter, ‘Shiloh,’ while they were in their hotel room. Shiloh was crying and sounded like she was arguing with her stepsisters, who had insisted that she sleep on the floor despite there being enough space for all three girls on the bed.
He Speaks to her Stepsisters
He went to the girls’ room and talked to his stepdaughters about it, but they didn’t explain adequately and just said they were more comfortable that way.
Dad Books Her a Separate Room
He then decided to book a separate hotel room for Shiloh, which upset his stepdaughters, but they didn’t say anything. Later, his ex-spouse, the mother of his stepdaughters, argued with him about giving Shiloh a separate hotel room and accused him of playing favorites. Despite explaining his reasoning, the ex-spouse called him unreasonable and accused him of showing favoritism towards his daughter.
Angry Candace
After the incident with Shiloh and her stepsisters at the hotel, he and his wife Candace returned home. However, Candace is still upset about how the situation was handled and has been bringing it up.
Daughters Keep Malice
Additionally, his stepdaughters are not speaking to him, which Candace pointed out. It’s worth noting that Candace was the one who made the hotel reservation for the three girls in the first place, as the man was emotionally distressed at the time.
Stepdaughters Bring Drama
In addition, it’s important to note that Candace did not intend for Shiloh to sleep on the floor. Instead, she wanted all three girls to share the bed. The man has a close relationship with his stepdaughters, and his wife, Candace, is a stay-at-home mom with full access to his money. He also mentions that he has known his stepdaughters since they were young and considers them part of their family.
The Masses Weigh in
Did Dad Play Favorites?
One user commended him and wondered why his other daughter thinks he has played favorites by getting her sister a hotel room to stay. The user said- “You’re definitely Not The Jerk. But also what the heck is wrong with Candace if she sees this as playing favorites? Her daughters tried to make yours sleep on the floor for fun. Sounds like the apples don’t fall far from the tree. Have you pointed out your daughter is also upset because of the situation and she is playing favorites?”
Selfish?
Another user then said, “The stepsisters got what they wanted, but were upset that the person who they took advantage of was accommodated.” That is worse!
In response to the last commenter, this user said, “The stepsisters just wanted the bed to themselves its a win win. They are only upset cause stepsister was not miserable with the outcome.”
Cinderella
“Why did the step sisters think that this was acceptable? This ain’t cinderella. I’m glad you did what you did.” Said another commenter.
