A stepmom is being criticized for demanding an apology from step-daughter for not wanting to go to SeaWorld on family vacation.
Redditors were quick to defend the OP's decision to not force her daughter on the family outing.
"Your daughter is uncomfortable with a planned outing, 15 it's old enough to stay in a hotel room alone if you think she's responsible enough . It's weird to think she should apologize for that. Implying that your daughter isn't your real family is beyond appalling, though," u/rak1882 received the top comment with over 18,000 upvotes.
U/Zeshui0 commented,"Your daughter is old enough to stay in a room by herself and old enough to have her own opinions. Sounds like your wife is trying to be unnecessarily controlling on certain issues. If she's clearly going to be upset by going to this, then I don't know why your wife is insisting. Unless she's PO'd about having her authority questioned."
U/mm172 wrote,"NTA. Your daughter is politely taking a principled stand based on her own research and careful thought. That's something you should be encouraging, and your wife needs to realize that demanding people be grateful for things they have valid reasons not to want is never going to end well."
"NTA! 'Your REAL family?!' What an awful thing to think, let alone say. When people tell you who they are, believe them. Forced apologies are worthless and your daughter didn't do anything to apologize for," u/flaky_burnt exclaimed.
