Just Ask Georgia: 6/28/2023

Georgia, I have a question,

I (46m) am getting married to my fiancee (39F). We have been together for three years; I have two daughters (18F, 6F) from my previous marriage - my ex left when my youngest was three.

My fiancee is a very sophisticated woman and has exquisite taste. She also does not really care for young children and this has created tension between her and my youngest daughter. Our wedding is going to be very lavish and expensive. My fiancee also wants the wedding to be child-free. We will, however, be inviting my oldest daughter as she is no longer a child and because, unlike my youngest, she and my fiancee get along well.

However, I didn’t realize that my youngest expected to come to the wedding. She tried to tag along with my fiancee and oldest when they were going dress shopping for my daughter, expecting that she was going to need a dress too. I explained to her that the wedding was going to be for adults only and that she wasn’t invited. She started crying and getting mad, which really stressed out my fiancee. Am I in the wrong here? She will be fine at the babysitter, why is she making such a big deal out of this?

Confused Groom

Groom,

Wow. Where to start?

First off, it sounds like you have prioritized your fiancee of three years over your own child. If she doesn’t “really care for” young children, who is going to be helping raise your daughter with you? Obviously not her. Red flag? YES!

Your wedding is going to be “lavish and expensive” - sounds like a real shindig. Why on earth would you think your young daughter, who probably still loves playing dress up, would prefer the babysitter over a sophisticated real-life princess party? Pull your head out of your butt and get a clue.

Finally, I pray you and your fiancee aren’t planning on any more children, as you are not fit to be raising a slug, let alone a child. Get neutered.

With love, Georgia

Georgia, I have a question,

At the age of 28, I am dating a woman who is 57. Her son is 31 and lives with us. He is not respecting me as his stepfather. I try to educate him about life but he does not listen. Please help.

Adult,

Are you really the adult in this situation? You do realize that you are not the one with the “life” experience here, right?

With love, Georgia
