My ex-stepdaughter was the one to always go on those. No iPad or phone in public, but she was used to having constant interactive entertainment soooooo… yeah

My ex-wife's daughter from a previous relationship. Used to be my stepdaughter, now she’s not. Maybe a weird way to phrase it, I guess.

Her mom never really had much time for her or later, our shared child. So the first one was super spoiled by smart devices from a very early age and the second one… idk, but I’m hoping I’ll do better than her.

I understand now. Wouldn't she still be your stepdaughter though? Unless you never shared custody over her / never bonded, and she's an adult now anyway.

Not shared custody because she has a father who now has custody of her 75% of the time. We actually cooperated to get our kids out of the witch's reach, but unfortunately it’s nearly impossible here to get her to lose custody altogether, even if there's a hundred reasons. They only remove kids from druggies and people with histories of violent crime.
