She Called Her Dad And Her Future Stepmom Greedy For Expecting Her To Help Make Her Grandparents Buy Her Future Stepsister A Fancy Gift

When a family becomes blended, a lot of pressure is put on people to get along and quickly form a familial bond. However, the pressure often doesn’t help anybody.
One teenager has gotten caught up in a bunch of drama between her dad’s new family and her maternal grandparents, who are refusing to buy her future stepsister a fancy gift.
She’s 19-years-old, and her mom sadly passed away four years ago. Her dad is getting ready to marry a new woman with a six-year-old daughter named Luna, and they’ll all be living together.
She has a very close relationship with her mom’s parents, whom she kept in close contact with after her mom’s passing. Her dad isn’t as close with them, and since she moved out of her dad’s house last year, he’s hardly in contact with her grandparents.
However, now that he’s engaged, he wants that to change.
“My grandparents bought me this really sweet locket for my birthday,” she said.
“My dad and his fiancée were living together at the time, and they brought me out to dinner to celebrate. Luna was also there and heard her mom ask about my locket and who bought it for me. Luna was suddenly all excited and talking about how they’re about to be her grandparents too and [asked if they would] buy her one.”
She immediately felt uncomfortable with the idea of her dad trying to convince her grandparents to buy Luna a gift. He eventually did it himself, and her grandparents said no since they have no relationship with Luna and will only see her on rare occasions.
Her dad was very angry with her grandparents, although she totally understood where they were coming from. Unfortunately, her dad and future stepmom’s resentment toward her grandparents only grew from there.

“My grandparents helped me and my friends move into an apartment together over the summer,” she explained.
“They also helped us get set up with some stuff. This bothered my dad’s fiancée a lot because they are yet to meet her or Luna and made no effort to do anything for Luna’s birthday.”
“So, she and my dad told them they would be invited to the wedding, which they must accept, and they must give Luna something sweet before the wedding as a symbol of her being adopted as a grandchild by them.”
Once again, her grandparents told them that would not be happening. Since then, her dad and his fiancée have become more furious and now want her to get involved. Her dad tried ordering her to speak with her grandparents and tell them to start treating Luna better than they are, which she thinks is absurd.
She eventually had to snap back at them, telling them they were greedy and that she would not speak to her grandparents about this issue.
“I told them Luna isn’t my sister, and even if she was, it would not obligate my grandparents to do anything for her unless they were my dad’s parents,” she added.
What she said spiraled into a nasty argument between her, her dad, and his fiancée. Now, she’s wondering if she went too far with what she said.
Did she go too far, or was she right to defend her grandparents?
