'Told me to grow up': 17-year-old girl refuses to share late mother's cherished recipe notebook with her dad’s new wife, who demands using it to cook for their blended family, sparking family feud when dad pressures her to share it for 'bonding purposes'

It makes complete sense to desire keeping something sacred between yourself and a late parent. Something to remember them by, like a little secret between only the two of them. This is how we imagine this 17-year-old daughter feels about her late mother's cherished recipe book and all the moments they spent laughing in the kitchen together, covered in flour and wrapped in love. 

After her father remarries, this teen is caught in an exceptionally vulnerable position when her new and entitled stepmother demands access to her late mother's recipe book so that she can replicate the recipes for their new 'blended' family. She already despises her new stepmother, but the fact that she is demanding access to the one special thing between her and her mother is the poisonous cherry on top! The worst part is, instead of having her father defend her, he is instead pushing her to share the book, claiming that it will be a way for their 'new' family to bond. However, she refuses to bond by having this woman not only try to replicate the recipes, but by also trying to replicate her mother! So she stands firm on her decision! She will not allow this one sacred thing to be taken away from her by some less taste-ful version.
