This man and his Wife, Tanya, got married, and she became a great stepmother to his children. The family has all gotten along well in the past, and the kids love their new stepmom a lot.

But, one of the man’s daughters is also going into high school this year, which has been a point of contention for the family. Specifically, what the Daughter wears to high school.

The man does believe that clothing, hair, and makeup are all great ways to express your interests and overall personality.

So, he only has two rules for his daughter.

“She can do whatever she wants with her hair as long as she knows that not everything can be fixed, and she can go out in whatever she wants as long as it fits,” the man explained.

And these two wardrobe rules had been working seamlessly until Tanya recently got involved.

One day last week, the man came home from work to find his daughter sobbing in her bedroom. Upon investigation, he also discovered a ton of bags filled with clothes that were not her style at all. In fact, they were pretty racy.

The bags included loosely clad crop tops, skinny jeans, push-up bras, and skirts short enough to see your undergarments.

“It was borderline atrocious,” the man recalled.

And not only was he upset as his daughter’s father, but his daughter also felt completely insulted.

Apparently, Tanya had told her that the clothes would be her “new style” and that she needed to dress more “appropriately” in order for people to recognize her as a girl.

And after hearing about the comments, the man was infuriated and decided to confront Tanya about it.

Unfortunately, it just so happened to be the same day that Tanya’s aunt died.

Nonetheless, the man went through with it anyway and asked what had gotten into her.

But, Tanya simply said she wanted her stepdaughter to have a “glow up” and that she “needed to start looking better anyway.”

The wife also cited her aunt’s style and beauty as inspiration.

The man heard Tanya out but ended up saying that she could not take her own grief about her aunt out on his daughter.

His wife did not get it, though, and continued calling her stepdaughter a tomboy and degrading her appearance.

At that point, he had enough and told Tanya he would pay for a hotel but that she had to leave their home.

And since kicking his wife out, the man has been receiving a lot of pushback from his family, who believe he overreacted– especially after Tanya’s aunt just passed away.

Still, though, he thinks that his daughter’s own stepmother should not be trying to degrade and dictate her clothing choices.

Do you think the man had a right to be angry at Tanya? Might she have just been trying to help?
