She Freaked Out On Her Stepmom After She Acted Petty Around Her During Her College Graduation Weekend
Whether you like them or not, graduation ceremonies are a big deal and deserve to be celebrated. Family should be there, and they should be very supportive. Unfortunately, not every graduate gets the praise they deserve.
One young woman had an outburst after her stepmom acted petty around her during her graduation weekend.
She’s 24 and recently received her master’s degree from Florida State University. She worked very hard and invited a lot of family over for her graduation ceremony earlier this summer.
Inviting her dad also meant inviting her stepmom, whom she’s not the biggest fan of. During all the years they’ve known each other, her stepmom has always tried to undermine her achievements and constantly compares her to her cousins on her dad’s side. Ever since she was a kid, her stepmom has picked on her.
Before heading to Florida for her graduation ceremony, which was on a Saturday, her stepmom texted her that she had made dinner reservations for just them and her dad at a fancy restaurant for that Friday.
“I told her that was nice of them, but I would not be getting dinner with anybody as that Friday I had to work in the morning, get my hair done in the afternoon, and then get ready before the ceremony that night,” she recalled.
“And the next night, I would be hosting a soiree in my apartment and inviting everybody from work as well as my friends in the area.”
Then, her stepmother responded by trying to create a lot of drama, guilt-tripping her and accusing her of making her dad upset. But he wasn’t. When she stopped by their hotel after they got into town, her dad told her not to worry about missing dinner.
“[My] stepmom, however, was fussy the whole time she didn’t get her way,” she said.

“We went up to their hotel room to catch up and enjoy some wine, and my dad starts talking about how proud he is of me that I’m graduating with this degree and with a high G.P.A.”
She started thanking her dad for being supportive when her stepmom chimed in to start talking all about her cousins. Before long, her stepmom was taking all of the attention by talking about the achievements of her cousins, almost implying that they were doing better than her.
When her stepmom was finally finished, she dryly said that was great. Then, her stepmom told her she should be as happy for her cousin’s success as she is for herself. This made her snap.
She reminded her stepmom that her cousins weren’t the ones graduating with a master’s degree that weekend. Then, she said, “You need to stop hijacking my graduation weekend from me and stop making it about them and you.”
Her stepmom and dad were very angered by her reaction and accused her of trying to create drama. In the end, all she wanted was one weekend to celebrate her accomplishments.
Should she feel bad for what she said, or did her stepmom deserve to get shut down?
