She’s Angry At Her Stepmom For Giving Her Stepbrother More Money Than She Got For A Graduation Gift
A 20-year-old girl has a dad who got married 3 times, and his current wife he tied the knot with 3 years ago.
Right after her dad got married to her stepmom, they had a son together. At that time, she was living in a different state than her family, and she chose to move back home with her dad and stepmom.
It was really important to her to get to be there to see her baby brother grow up, and that’s why she made the move.
The same year that she moved home, she began her final year of high school, and it was pretty difficult for her to settle in, though after she did she was happy.
Right around her high school graduation, her dad and stepmom promised to gift her some money so that she could buy her own car.
Her dad and stepmom were so excited about her graduation since she has 6 younger sisters and brothers and they thought she was setting a great example for them all.
She isn’t really sure how she made a good example for her 17-year-old brother, since he never has done well in school and she thought he just wasn’t a great person.
He’s been fired from a job for bad behavior and he never seemed to get decent grades in school. Her stepmom frequently has done papers, projects, and even homework for her stepbrother.
Her dad and stepmom made it very clear what amount of money they were going to give her as a gift, and she appreciates that they are always this honest when it comes down to gift-giving, regardless of the occasion.

She did get her money for graduation, which was years ago at this point. Not that long ago, her dad said that he and her stepmom would be gifting her stepbrother more money for his upcoming high school graduation.
Her dad said that her stepbrother “worked so hard” that they felt he deserved more for his graduation gift than what she had received.
“After talking to my dad more about it he made it very clear that he was only giving the amount they originally agreed on from the shared account,” she explained.
Above that, her stepmom is personally paying out of her own bank account for the rest of her stepbrother’s graduation gift.
“Am I wrong for being upset?” she wondered. “It is her money and that is her first kid.”
She would like to confront her stepmom about the difference between what she got for graduating high school and what her stepbrother is getting, but she thinks her stepmom will just make excuses about how much she dislikes her stepbrother being the reason why she’s causing problems.
Do you think she should say anything to her stepmom about the graduation money, or should she keep quiet?
