Her Stepsister Accused Her of Being A Gold Digger, So She Called Her Jealous
It’s funny how when we get older, we sometimes go on to live totally different lives from our siblings.
One woman got into a fight with her stepsister after she called her jealous because she accused her of being a gold digger.
She’s 29-years-old and married to a doctor. She’s the mom of three kids under 10, and she doesn’t have to work because of her husband’s salary.
“I was planning on working for a couple of years and had a few job offers, but my daughter happened sooner than we’d planned, so I decided to just stay home,” she said.
“While it is quite nice that I can afford to stay home, money was definitely not the main reason why I married my husband. I love him because of his personality.”
Her stepsister, whom she sees often, lives a very different life. She also has three children and lives with her boyfriend.
Neither of them have degrees and they don’t work very high-paying jobs. She tries to help out her stepsister by babysitting from time to time.
Unfortunately, she believes her stepsister is jealous of her lifestyle, and it showed at a recent family barbecue.
She was talking to her mom about the beautiful jewelry her husband had given her for their recent fifth wedding anniversary when her stepfather and stepsister walked over to them.

During the conversation, her stepfather asked her stepsister when her boyfriend would finally propose to her.
Then, her stepsister said, “Not everybody can afford to waste thousands of dollars on a shiny rock,” while giving her a dirty look.
That comment offended her, but she tried her best to brush it off. Then, she even tried to compliment her stepsister by saying that she didn’t even need a ring because it was so obvious how much her boyfriend loved her.
But that only made her stepsister angry. Suddenly, her stepsister snapped and accused her of having “fake sympathy” for her.
Then, she told her she was a useless gold digger who could never understand her problems.
“I was quite offended, but I don’t like confrontation, so I just smiled and told her to tell me if she needs help with anything,” she explained.
“She said that she doesn’t need my charity and accused me of trying to make her and her family feel bad by flaunting my expensive jewelry. I reminded her that she chose to walk over and join our conversation.”
As things heated up, her stepsister vented about how she and her boyfriend still have to rent their home and can’t give their kids as many nice things as her kids, which makes her kids jealous.
She told her stepsister she was a jealous woman and said that she would no longer babysit her kids if it was stressing her out so much.
“She called me insensitive and said that I’ve always been given everything I want and I’m spoiled,” she added.
“I didn’t want to engage with her anymore, so I left to talk to my sister-in-law. My stepsister left the barbecue immediately after that and is still mad at me. My mother thinks I should apologize to keep the peace.”
Should she apologize for calling her stepsister jealous, or was her stepsister being too intense?
