If you’re a sibling, you know how annoying it can be when you’re forced to share something with your brother or sister. 

One woman recently got into trouble with her stepson after she made him share the snacks he bought with his own money with his little sister. 

She’s 32-years-old and has a husband who’s 40. Her husband has a 17-year-old son from a previous marriage, and together, they have an eight-year-old daughter and a seven-month-old baby. 

Around Christmas this past year, her stepson got a job working at a Starbucks so he could have some spending money.

He’s been buying himself gaming equipment, clothes, and occasionally some snacks that are only meant for him.

“They’re not special snacks or anything, just Doritos or chips from the store,” she explained. “He likes to have some bags to eat while he’s playing.”

The other day he brought home a bunch of snacks he had bought himself after work. Her 8-year-old daughter went up to him and asked for some of the candy he had.

He told her no, that the sweets were his and that he bought them with his money so she couldn’t touch them. They argued back and forth for a while until her daughter started crying.

Her daughter came to her in tears and woke up the baby, so out of frustration, she told her stepson he had to share some of his candy with his little sister.

He argued that he paid for the sweets so he didn’t have to give her anything. 

“I told him that we buy most of our groceries with his dad’s and my money, so we could use the same logic,” she remembered.

“He continued arguing until I threatened to ground him, and he finally gave in.”

Her stepson was very angry with her, and when her husband came home from work, he was upset to hear about what happened. 

Her husband was angry that she treated his son “like a little kid” when all he was doing was being responsible and protecting what he had bought with his own money. Then, he told her not to take out her frustrations on his son.

Was she wrong to make her stepson share his snacks, or was her stepson being selfish?
