This woman is currently engaged, and her fiancé is a single father. So, after they tie the knot, she will become a stepmother to her future stepdaughter, Summer– who is fifteen-years-old.
Summer has an autoimmune disease, though, and the teen’s biological mom is no longer in the picture. So, according to her, her fiancé spoils Summer rotten because of these circumstances.
For instance, she claims that even if dinner is already made, but Summer wants to eat something else, her fiancé will order it anyway and claim that his daughter just “gets cravings.”
Summer reportedly also does not do any chores around the house, and she is also not allowed to ask the teen for help with anything.
“And if Summer is being a brat, he excuses it because ‘her medicines cause mood swings,’ and she can demand all of his attention whenever she wants,” she added.
Summer also goes to a different kind of school, which operates year-round. So, rather than getting a three-month-long break for the summer, the teen gets a month off.
Then, the other two months of break time are split up throughout the rest of the year.
And because of this, Summer has gotten four weeks off for winter break. And at first, her fiancé’s daughter was supposed to spend the first week of this break on vacation with one of her friends and the friend’s mother.
This plan worked for everyone initially. Summer got to go on a trip, and she was happy to spend time with her fiancé without Summer “interrupting” them every ten minutes.

“But, Summer still called when she woke up, before she went to bed, and every few hours in between,” she vented.
Her future stepdaughter also “constantly complained” about missing her fiancé, according to her. However, this was the teen’s first time ever being away from her father since her biological mom left– so it is understandable.
Regardless, after she received a call from Summer’s friend’s mother on day four of the vacation, she decided to step in, and kind of put her foot down.
Apparently, during the conversation, she learned that Summer was not feeling well and actually just wanted to go home early.
She did not really believe that, though, and proceeded to ask the friend’s mother if Summer had a fever, was throwing up or was “actually sick.”
Now, according to her, the mom claimed that Summer did not have a fever and was not vomiting. However, she learned that her future stepdaughter was tired and kept saying that she wanted to go home.
“But I told her to tell Summer to stick it out and call us if she actually gets sick,” she recalled. Yikes.
So, after learning she had said that, Summer apparently decided to go directly to her fiancé. And while talking to him, Summer detailed how she was not feeling well again and also claimed that she said Summer was not allowed to go home.
And if you could not have guessed it, her fiancé was beyond furious. In fact, he reportedly did not even give her a chance to explain herself.
Instead, he kicked her out of the house and left immediately– driving four hours to Summer’s friend’s cabin to pick up his daughter.
Then, even by the time her fiancé got home, the drama was far from over. According to her, he actually claimed that he now needs to rethink their entire relationship.
At that moment, though, she thought it was finally time to tell her fiancé how she truly felt about Summer.
“I told him Summer is manipulating him now like she always does, and I listed examples of her using her illness to get what she wants with her dad,” she revealed.
Honestly, though, her fiancé just did not care about anything she had to say. Then, he even told her not to contact him for a few weeks while he thought about whether or not he still wanted to get married to her.
So now, with her engagement in jeopardy and her fiancé no longer speaking to her, she has been left wondering whether telling her fiancé that Summer was manipulating him makes her a real jerk or not.
Do you think a child ever needs a “good reason” to come home from a sleepover or trip? Do you believe Summer is really trying to manipulate her fiancé or not? Even so, is it her place to villainize Summer when she is set to become the teen’s stepmother? Do you think she acted like the jerk in this situation?
