She Just Inherited Her Mom’s Jewelry And Now Her Stepsister Is Giving Her A Hard Time About What She’s Planning To Do With It
A woman recently lost her mom, and she then inherited a lot of jewelry from her. Prior to her mom’s passing, her mom asked her to select a few of the pieces to keep.
She then asked her to have her stepsister pick some too, before instructing her to keep the rest for herself.
Her mom was hoping that by letting her stepsister pick what she wanted that it would be more meaningful than the two of them picking something for her.
“Now- There was a very (VERY) expensive pair of earrings and an equally expensive necklace that we had discussed and of course, I’m no fool…I would love them,” she explained.
“BUT my parents are not as financially stable as I would like to see them in their old age and so my mom and I discussed the possibility of instead selling them for my dad to utilize the funds.”
“I asked if she wanted those pieces in the mix for my step sister to choose from and she requested them to be kept separate.”
After her mom’s passing, she met up with her stepsister to let her stepsister see the pieces her mom had left behind for her to pick from.
She did tell her stepsister that her mom thought it was important to let her select a few for her to keep.
As soon as her sister laid eyes on the jewelry, she demanded to know what was going to be done with the remaining pieces.

“I didn’t have the heart to tell her that it all goes to me, I didn’t want to hurt her feelings… And there was a LOT of jewelry, so instead, I happily split the box- practically 50/50,” she said.
She and her stepsister both ended up with stunning pieces of jewelry to remember her mom by, and she thought dividing the pieces up was a great decision.
But then, her stepsister questioned her about the expensive bracelets that she had not put in the pile for her to pick from.
Somehow, her stepsister hadn’t forgotten about those pieces of jewelry. She did tell her stepsister in the nicest way possible that she was planning on either keeping them for herself or selling them in order to help their dad have money.
Since then, her stepsister has taken it upon herself to badger their dad about giving her one of those bracelets.
Her dad is understandably upset about the loss he just experienced and isn’t in a place to properly decide what to do with the pieces that her mom left to her.
“I feel like I more than let her have her fair share of my mom’s pieces,” she continued. “After all, mom only wanted her to have a few and she got halfsies!”
“Plus- she has her own mom! I’m trying to be respectful and not cause a ruckus while everyone’s emotions are high, so I made a few subtle comments about “my” pieces and ultimately keep suggesting that we put a pin in it and not make any big decisions quite yet.”
She’s wondering if it was somehow wrong of her to not just fork the pieces of jewelry her stepsister wants over.
Her stepsister and her mom did get along great, but they never lived close to one another and her mom was actually not that far off from her stepsister’s age and never raised her stepsister at all.
This all has her struggling with giving up more to her stepsister than she planned on.
Do you think it sounds like her stepsister is just being greedy?
