When Her Twins Turned 18, Her Parents Gifted Each Of Them A Trust Fund, But They Got Her Stepdaughter A Car For Her Birthday, So Her Stepdaughter Is Accusing Them All Of Not Loving Her And Expecting Her To Gift Her A Trust Fund Too
A 39-year-old woman admits that she comes from an incredibly wealthy background. Throughout her life, she never really had to struggle for a single thing, as her mom and dad handed her everything.
She really did grow up, well, spoiled rotten. Then when she hit her teen years, she partied, did drugs, and drank, all without any consequences.
She was spoiled, after all, and her parents simply never punished her. At 16, she wound up pregnant, and at 17, she welcomed her twins into the world.
She gave birth to one girl and one boy, and her parents supported her every step of the way as she became a teen mom.
“My parents had set up a trust fund for me when I was a kid, and I wasn’t able to access it until I was 18, so when I turned 18, I moved out and got a condo,” she explained.
“I only used my trust fund whenever it was for my kids, rent, or essentials around the house. I also took some out and put it in an emergency fund. I got a job at my dad’s company, so I was able to live comfortable but not keep up with the lifestyle I grew up with.”
“When I was 31, I met my now husband and his daughter, who was four years younger than my kids. Me and my husband dated for about four years, then we got married two months before my twins’ birthday.”
Well, when her twins did turn 18, her own parents generously gifted them a trust fund each. In both accounts sat $200,000.
Her twins are currently 22, and they are doing wonderfully for themselves. She likes to believe she played an enormous part in raising them to be so successful, as her parents didn’t really teach her how to do that.

Fast forward to now; her stepdaughter just celebrated her 18th birthday. For months now, her stepdaughter has been going on and on about how excited she is to get a trust fund, as she knows that was the gift her twins got for their 18th birthdays.
The thing is, she had no clue if her parents would do the same thing for her stepdaughter, and she was shocked her parents even did that for her own kids in the first place.
She honestly told her stepdaughter that she was not entirely certain her parents would gift her the same thing, and her husband jumped in to help temper expectations.
Her husband reminded his daughter not to simply think she would be getting a trust fund too, but that didn’t curb her stepdaughter’s enthusiasm any.
“Now, when her birthday came around, she did get money, just not the trust fund from my parents; instead, they gave her a car,” she said.
“But to say she is disappointed is an understatement. She said we didn’t love her because she wasn’t blood and that we’ve always treated her differently because she wasn’t my daughter. Which wasn’t true. I loved her some the day I met her, and I’ve always treated her like she was one of mine.”
“She then asked me why didn’t I tell her she wasn’t getting a trust fund since that was all she was talking about. I told her I didn’t know if she was getting one or not. She then told me that I should’ve made one for her myself. I tried to tell her that it wasn’t possible, but she didn’t want to listen to me and just said she hated me.”
She’s left wondering if she’s a jerk for not putting money together to gift her stepdaughter a trust fund.
