Some parents forget that “blending” a family doesn’t mean blending everyone’s routines too.

One teen was juggling her hobbies and many extracurriculars like a pro.

But when her new stepmom said she needed to quit to make things “equal,” things started feeling dysfunctional fast.

Read on for the full story.

AITA for not giving up my hobbies?

My dad recently married Kim, who has two kids.

I like to have a busy schedule, so I attend soccer classes three times a week, Korean classes twice a week, piano classes once a week, and painting classes also once a week.

Kim doesn’t approve of all of this.

Now Kim thinks this is too much. She says there is no time and money left for her kids.

She thinks I should stop playing soccer and piano because soccer is the most time-consuming, and piano is the most expensive.

This teen thinks Kim really should be minding her own business.

I told her that she is not paying for my classes or giving me rides, so it’s none of her business.

Perhaps she could ask their own dad to give them money and time—but oh wait, he is a deadbeat, so maybe she shouldn’t have slept with him.

Kim continues to believe she’s not the problem.

She thinks I’m a selfish AH for not giving up my hobbies for her kids.

My dad is on my side, so I’m not worried—but she keeps whining, which is annoying.

AITA?

Kim needs to take several steps back here.

Redditors chime in with their thoughts.

It’s time for this teen’s dad to step in and handle his new wife himself.

Kim definitely has an ulterior motive here.

This sounds like the best case scenario to many parents.

This dad should be able to speak up if he truly has this teen’s back.

Kim wasn’t about fairness — she was all about control.

This teen didn’t owe anyone an apology for enjoying her own life.
