Special Gift From Grandmother Stirred Up Drama In Ex-Wife’s Home
One dad shared how his ex-wife created an issue of which he had never thought of in his wildest dreams. He shared that his mother has arranged a gift for her daughter before she passed away. She knew that she would not be able to join her granddaughter’s graduation, thus made the necessary arrangements beforehand. But who knew a special gift from his mother could stir up things in his ex-wife’s home?
He explained on Reddit how her daughter graduated school at the age of 17, and how a gift from her mother created problems with his ex-wife. He explained: “My mom passed away in December from cancer. Before she died, we decided as a surprise for my daughter’s upcoming graduation, my mom would do a voice recording on one of those teddy bears.”
He saved the gift because they knew that his mother would not be able to make it to the graduation. So he wanted to save the gift for the special moment. He further explained: “Right after her graduation I had some work to do out of state and only got back a few weeks ago. I finally had the chance to give Erica the bear and she loved it. She cried and said it was the best gift ever.”
After graduation and giving his daughter the gift from her grandmother, he dropped her daughter at his ex-wife’s place. And after that, he received a dreading call and explained what happened after that and wrote: “She said Erica showed it to them (ex, her husband, and stepsister) and now her stepsister is upset and won’t come out of her room. I wondered what the hell that had to do with me and my ex told me Erica’s stepsister was hurt that my mom didn’t make her one too since they both graduated HS this year.”
He was confused and had a blank mind because of how her mother could give a personal gift to someone whom she does not know. He further wrote: “She only started seeing my mom 2 years ago. That was when my ex started making Erica bring her stepsister along when she’d stay at my mom’s for a couple of weeks during the summer and also during spring break. But that was it. My mom wanted to be nice and allowed the girl to stay with them even though that time was supposed to be for her and my daughter only, but I was never under the assumption that they were close.”
He concluded by writing “Now my ex is mad at me for not thinking about her stepdaughter, Erica is starting to feel guilty about her gift, and she tells me her stepsister is giving her the cold shoulder.” Well, the poor guy didn’t know that he could stir up things so badly.
He finally wrote: “I honestly don’t understand where the anger is coming from. Or why my ex is calling me names and trying to make me feel like the bad guy here. This was supposed to be the last gift my daughter receives from her late grandmother whom she was very close to and now it’s starting to seem like something insensitive that was done to her stepsister. It’s very confusing and I don’t know what made this all go wrong.”
Even the readers were confused and wrote: “The entitlement of some people astounds me, it truly does. It was not her biological grandmother so I also don’t understand her issues. I believe that she is the golden child in that house and expects to have everything your daughter has. I would ask your daughter if she feels like she is being treated fairly compared to her step-sister. I’m angry at your ex-wife, her new husband, and the step-sister for ruining a very special gift for your daughter.”
