My stepmom seems to think we're the babies at the baby shower 😳🎁🤦♀️
Ever felt like your life turned into a reality show you never signed up for? That’s me right now. My boyfriend and I, both in our early 20s, are expecting our first baby. We’re not living together yet—money’s tight, and I’m staying with my parents. His stepmom, J, decided to confiscate almost all our baby shower gifts, claiming she needed to “split them up” and “make returns.” She didn’t even ask us! I was left feeling powerless and humiliated, watching her stash away gifts meant for our daughter.
Now, I’m questioning everything—why does she get to decide what’s best for our child? Why am I being treated like I’ll run off with diapers and onesies? My boyfriend seems numb to it, but I’m furious and lost. Is this just about control, or is there something deeper? How do we rebuild trust when even basic kindness feels conditional?
Honestly, I just want to vent to someone who gets it. What would you do if you were in my shoes? 😤🍼😩
