Hey, this is Angie.

And this is Dakota, your favorite OK story time hosts.

And we've got some great stories coming up.

But before that, we have a quick two-minute break from the sponsors that keep this show running.

This is an I-Heart podcast.

Guaranteed human.

I chose to ignore my stepdaughter instead of pushing a reconciliation.

Well, I mean, why would you push your

stepdaughter? Okay, let me give a little backstory since the title automatically makes me sound

like the A-Hole year. My oldest stepdaughter is now 26 years old, but the issue started two years ago

my husband and our two youngest kids took a trip to Lake Tahoe for a week.

By the way, this comes from Kimuno, and if you want to submit your own stories, go to the R-slash-OK Storytime Sub-Breddit. I'm Sophia. I'm Angie. And we're here to give good advice, goofily, but we don't have all the answers. We only know what we'd do. So let us know what you would do in the comments. and OP says. We spent a lot of time on the beach, took tons of pictures of the kids, and posted every single one of them on Facebook so that family could see. Our 28 male and

26 female children live in Montana, and our 22 female had to work and could not go with us. I don't

know if any of you have been to the beaches at Lake Tahoe in the summer, but the trip was mid-July,

and they were so crowded. We have a plan to maybe do that. Anyway, we got back from our trip,

and my hubby tried to video call our 26 female daughter, only to find out she had blocked him on

Facebook. He then tried calling and texting her, but got no response. We did not want to drag our 18 male child into the situation, especially since we're not even sure what the situation was to begin with. When we called to check in with him, my hubby simply asked, do you know if we did something to upset your sister? Our 28 male said he didn't know, but that he would ask her. We never really got an answer, but by the time 26 females' birthday rolled around that November, she was suddenly talking to us both again. We sent her money for her birthday because she needed help getting her car fixed, and then sent more money for Christmas for the same reason. The following spring, we made a trip up to see the kids and everything seemed fine.

Then June of 2024 came around and she blocked us again out of nowhere. What the freak?

Stop it. What's going on? We messaged her on her birthday saying, happy birthday. We love you.

And sent her money for her birthday instead of presents since she was not answering her phone and had us

blocked. I don't know if I would still keep sending money if she'd blocked you. Yeah, that's a,

yeah. I don't think I would either. Now it's 2025 and in mid-June, their stepfather's mom passed away.
