Neglectful parents try to take sentimental baby blanket from their 17-year-old son knitted by his beloved great grandmother for their highly anticipated baby girl: 'They told me it's like I don't even want her to exist'

Everyone has one of those sentimental items from childhood they couldn't stand to see go. Even if you're a grown man or woman, your favorite stuffed animal or blanket from your earliest years will always be near and dear to your heart. We're often put in situations where we are pressured into giving childhood items to other family members who are having young children. While I agree that some unsentimental toys or clothing items can and should be passed down to loved ones, nobody should force their family to give away the objects they love the most.

One 17-year-old kid took to Reddit to share his tragic family situation. Ever since he was a kid, his parents wanted a baby. They didn't want "another baby," they wanted a baby. This obsession with having a kid, despite having a perfectly good one right in front of them led to some strain within the nuclear family. Now that they're finally pregnant with a baby girl, they want their son to give her the baby blanket his beloved great grandmother knitted for him.
