23-year-old competes with Mom's obnoxious boyfriend over their birthday gifts for her: 'I know her more than anyone else'

It's perfectly normal to be skeptical of a parent's new significant other, but this 23-year-old had had enough of his future stepdad.

This so-called "adult" went out of his way to make his girlfriend's son feel like a total fool for gifting his mother a sewing machine for her birthday. For some context, the son knew how much his mother loved to sew as a hobby. After her previous machine broke, he came up with the idea to get her a proper replacement. In his eyes, he was doing everything right. He saw something that gave his mom joy, and he wanted to further encourage this pastime.

However, for some reason, his mother's boyfriend thought this was an embarrassing gift. Based on what he ultimately got for his partner of several years, it's clear that this guy is not aware of who he has been dating. This is the kind of guy who thinks he knows what all women want and who fails to pick up peculiarities that make his girlfriend unique.

Here's hoping that the author takes this opportunity after the day has passed to sit down and have a serious heart-to-heart with his mom. She deserves to know how arrogant and unkind her “partner” is. Perhaps she doesn't want to admit the truth, but she needs to be confronted anyway. She probably knows deep down that this guy doesn't actually see her for her interests or her personality, and that's a problem. It's not an example of a kid being too difficult and picky when it comes to who his mom can date. In this instance, he's very much in the right.
"[Am I wrong] for laughing at my mom's bf for the birthday gift he gave her?"
