to treat like a stepchild
by see me September 9, 2006
the act of displaying a cold shoulder, condescending, patronizing, ignoring, attitude toward someone
....after repeated unreturned calls and unanswered texts you bump into the person you are trying to contact " Hey man why are you stepchilding me, I've been trying to get in touch with you for weeks, whats up with that?"

Treated with dislike, distaste, much the same as a "second class citizen." Less important. Ostracized, at times.
(If the stepchild had red hair, and the parent didn't, people would assume that the parent was the step-parent. This is obviously an ignorant assumption, since the gene for red hair is not a "dominate" gene, but a "recessive" gene -- it would skip generations before showing up again.)

In the state of Alabama, it is well known that Auburn University will always be the Redheaded Stepchild to the University of Alabama, when pertaining to football and all other things athletic - and chess. RTR!

A child who is obviously not your own, a child who is treated worse than other children in the family

With red hair being rare, a child born to non red headed parents was often assumed to be the child of an affair. Thus was treated badly, usually in the form of beatings.
