Stepmom Wants To Homeschool Husband’s Kids To Match Her Own, Their Mom Isn’t Having It
A mother found herself in conflict with her ex-husband’s new wife, who insisted on homeschooling her stepchildren so they’d match the routine of her own biological kids. The mother, however, strongly objected. Her children enjoyed traditional school, had friendships there, and neither she nor the kids wanted the change.
Despite the stepmom’s push for a “unified” home education system, the biological mom stood her ground — igniting a tense family standoff.
Many online commenters backed the mother, warning that forcing homeschooling could damage the children’s social and emotional development. Some even suspected the stepmom’s request was a subtle attempt at parental alienation.
Others pointed out that educational decisions, especially in shared custody situations, must involve both biological parents — and not be dictated by a stepparent’s preferences.
