Internet split after mom agrees to pay for daughter’s wedding - but not stepdaughter’s

The woman explains that she’s spent years saving up for her biological daughter’s wedding. Both daughters are now engaged, the Reddit poster explained, but Alexa was the older one who “always got everything,” while Hannah “got hand-me-downs.”.

“She never had much of her ‘own’ things so I wanted to make her wedding special,” she added. She now plans to pay for Hannah’s wedding - which she’s been saving for years to do - but not Alexa’s nuptials. “Alexa asked John if he and her biological mom would be paying for her wedding and he said no. He said she should have a wedding that she and her fiancé can afford,” the woman continued.
She noted that when her children went to lunch, Alexa called her father crying because she found out her stepmother was paying for Hannah’s wedding and thought that was “unfair.”. According to the Reddit user, her husband thinks that she should use the money she saved on both Hannah and Alexa’s wedding, rather than just Hannah’s.
“I told him no because I was the one who had been saving the money. I told him if he’d like to pay for Alexa’s wedding then he should speak with her mother for them to see how much they could help,” she wrote. John also asked his wife if she’d give any leftover money, that doesn’t get spent on the wedding, to Alexa. She said no to this request, noting she was giving all the money she saved to Hannah, and she could spend it on whatever she wanted.
In an edit to the post, the mother clarified that she started working when Hannah was 10. At that time, John and his ex agreed to pay for Alexa’s costs, while she and John split Hannah’s costs. When Alexa was growing up, her mother also had full custody, with John and her stepmother caring for the child every other weekend.
