13-year-old rejects gift from Dad's new girlfriend, then gets rejected herself when she asks to have it back: 'I decided to keep it for myself'
Any potential step-parent knows that it can be difficult to gain the approval of your partner's kids. This is especially true if those kids are in the midst of their teenage years. This Redditor may need to learn the important lesson of not taking this treatment too personally, as her boyfriend's daughter probably would not be satisfied with anyone for her dad.
The original poster (OP), of course, was trying to get her approval when she got the 13-year-old a necklace, a gift the teenager almost immediately rejected simply because of who the gift-giver was. OP took this to heart and decided to keep the gift for herself. Months down the road, the teenager decided she actually liked the necklace and wanted it back, and that's when OP decided to give the kid a taste of her own medicine. Was it wrong? Perhaps, though I would say it was a bit more immature than wrong. Many folks in the comments section seemed to be pretty split on the correct way to resolve the conflict.
