Wooooooow. The only thing I can maybe give is that a dog can learn a new name even if it responded to another one but if the daughter herself doesn't care then ffs let it go. I don't think little girl is all about the pool and her sibs here but more get away from uptight mother. She clearly did not handle her divorce and is bitter that her ex did. She should be glad that step mother asked about the skates. So often it would be, and reasonably so, 'we're going skating and have decided to buy not rent and we all need a pair.' Like. Just wow. It sounds like your kid has an amazing step mother. Embrace that!
