17-year-old puts pregnant stepmother in her place when she asks for help after trying to take her mother's place despite their failing relationship: ‘She reminded me that I knew my mom for less than five years, and I had known her almost as long now’

It's alright to wish for or want to have a relationship with your stepchild, but it's not about replacing someone or proving you're "better" than either of their biological parents; it's about being a steady, sincere presence in that child's life. Relationships aren't all about how long you've known someone, and certainly claiming that you have more importance in someone's life than someone like their own mother just because you've known them for longer is somewhat unhinged.

This stepmother was certainly going about it the wrong way when she sought to insert herself into the Mother's Day celebrations at her teenage stepdaughter's school, seeking to go in the place of the girl's grandmothers, who normally stood in for her late mother. This cut deepened when the stepmother sought to claim "motherhood" simply because of her marital status to the girl's father, despite the fact that the girl did not want it to be so. Her continued insistence on doing nothing to help her case or the girl's feelings about her. When she became pregnant, she expected the teen to help her around the home, something that the teen felt quite sour about due to the state that their relationship had reached.
