[QUOTE="susiestar, post: 261327, member: 1233"] I have been thinking about this for several hours. I truly think your daughter was WAAAYYY out of line. You and your husband have NOTHING to apologize for or be upset or embarrassed about. SHE owes YOU a BIG APOLOGY. The appropriate response was "Ooops, sorry. I will leave." and then she should have gone into her room or another room. I think telling you it upset her because it was her step dad and not her father was just a way to make you feel bad. To me her whole response smacks of manipulation. The need to create drama and chaos sometimes is strong in our kids. When they create a big scene over this normal behavior they should apologize or not be very welcomed. A cooler response to her until she apologizes would be in order. It is not as though her father just died and you dragged a stranger home from a bar. I am sorry she reacted so inappropriately and tried to make you feel bad. [/QUOTE]
