This 19-year-old reminded his dad's new wife, who wore the pants in the family—or at least, whose name was on the deed to the house. And here's a little spoiler: it's not the tyrannical stepmom!

Stepparents struggle to fit in with their new family, especially if they're battling the kids. Oftentimes, older children will reject a new parental figure, and if you receive even an ounce of affection in return, that's considered a win. But the woman in this next story thought that her marriage to a man would magically make her the 'new mom' around the house. However, this young man refused to see a simple marriage license as enough, and it certainly didn't merit the new title of 'Mom.'

  • WaryScientist - NTA so your dad didn't have an issue with her threatening to have you kicked out, but he did have an issue with you threatening to kick her out? I'd be more upset with my dad for not having my back if I were you.

  • Aleris-Archer530 Legally and respectfully, the house belongs to you and you want to honor your mother wishes. Maybe the right thing to do is to establish boundaries with Ella and clearly outline your expectations. Coz no one can actually push you to like her, it's your personal Decision

  • SafeWord9999 I would tell dad you'll be issuing stepmother with a chore list that she needs to complete each week, AND she can also pay you rent because her disrespectful attitude won't work here and you might decide to make her leave - EXACTLY as she said to you.
    via SafeWord9999
  • I'm actually pissed off that dad didn't have your back here. Maybe he should look at moving out too if that's his stance.

  • Ionly25. Right on everything you said was correct. Great for standing up for yourself. Your house your rules.

  • Quiet-Hamster6509 Sounds like your father didn't tell her the truth about his accommodation. Makes me wonder what his plan was in 3 years time when he is no longer allowed to live there.

  • knight_shade_realms NTA did your father not tell her he is only a tenant and only for a few more years at that? How did this never come up before with all the demands she

  • Lucky for this 19-year-old, his late mother had left him the house. That's right. He'd inherited the entire house from his mother's estate and cordially allowed his dad and stepmother to live in it. However, when she threatened to kick him out for refusing to blend families, he put his foot down and reminded her who was the tenant and who was the homeowner.
