She Got Into An Argument With Her Stepsister After Explaining That Her Daughter Doesn’t Get Invited To Parties Because Of Her Behavior
If you’re a parent, you’ve probably seen your fair share of misbehaving children. A kid with a bad temper or poor behavior can bring down the vibe of any gathering at the drop of a hat.
One woman recently got into an argument with her stepsister after explaining that her daughter doesn’t get invited to parties because of her poor behavior.
She has an eight-year-old daughter named Serena, and her stepsister, Micah, has a nine-year-old daughter named Gemma.
Gemma has had major behavioral issues for as long as she can remember.
“When she was younger, she had constant tantrums, couldn’t sit still, and would vandalize anything she could get hold of,” she explained.
“As she got older, her lack of manners and destructive behavior made her nearly impossible to be around, and besides that, she was really mean.”
Gemma’s bad behavior has affected how people interact around her, especially her family members.
The other day, while the entire family was at her parent’s house, Serena’s upcoming birthday and party were brought up. Serena will be having a small sleepover party with four friends. In the past, when Serena had larger parties, Gemma was typically invited to come along because she’s family.
But now that it’s a much smaller affair with only her good friends, she doesn’t want Gemma there, especially if she will be nasty.

When Micah found out about Gemma not being invited, she was very upset and accused her of teaching Serena to exclude people. She tried explaining to Micah that she wasn’t necessarily excluding Gemma because Serena and Gemma aren’t exactly friends, but she couldn’t get through to her.
Then, Micah said that Gemma should be invited to Serena’s party since it might be the only one she gets invited to that year. She told Micah that information didn’t surprise her.
“Micah asked what I meant by that, and I said that Gemma is not kind to the people around her and lacks social skills,” she recalled.
“She’s at an age where kids will notice that and not be forgiving. Micah seemed taken aback and said she can’t believe I would be so cruel about a child.”
Micah stormed out of their parent’s house after she was hit with the hard truth about Gemma. Her parents thought what she said about Gemma was true, but now she wonders if her delivery was inappropriate.
Was she right to tell Micah the truth about Gemma’s behavior that way?
