Stepmom Showdown: Teen Snaps Under Pressure!
Our teen protagonist has had enough of his stepmom’s nagging to call her “mom.” After three years of marriage, she’s still pushing for the title, despite her daughters not calling the teen’s dad “dad.” The situation reached a boiling point when the stepmom claimed the teen “owed it to her” to call her “mom.” In a moment of frustration, the teen snapped, delivering a scathing speech about how she’ll never be his mom and suggesting she needs therapy. The stepmom stormed off in tears, and now both she and the teen’s dad are giving him the silent treatment. Let’s see what the internet has to say about this explosive family drama!
