Entitled stepmom expects 18-year-old grieving daughter to babysit her stepbrother during her father's funeral, daughter refuses: ‘"You lost a husband of five years. I lost the man who raised me my entire life"’

Attending a parent's funeral before you make it into your 20s is rough as it is. You thought you'd have more time—more memories to make—with your late mother or father. Every decision in your life up until that point weighs several tons on your heart, and you're left wondering if you could ever make life feel normal again without their presence. This is the grieving process, and it's important to face it head-on.

In the middle of your grieving thoughts, you hear a buzz. This buzz then becomes a voice, and you wonder if you've, too, met your maker. But no, it's just your stepmother—whom you don't even like because of her entitled ways—asking you to watch your nine-year-old stepbrother at your own father's funeral. As if the gods gave you a reason to cut the woman who you intended to cut off anyway out of your life, you realize just how much she doesn't care about your feelings. The 18-year-old grieving daughter in this story gives her stepmom a piece of her mind when she is expected to play nanny at her late dad's funeral. Scroll to see how the situation unfolds.

Grief is a funny thing. Of course, when you first hear the news of a loved one's passing, especially someone as close to you as your parent, the initial shock prevents you from feeling everything completely. Then, the funeral feels like a sick reprise of what you've tried so hard to repress… but it's necessary. To grieve is to love. The daughter in this story explains that she was trying to put on a brave face for the public, but her stepmom turned her grief to rage.
