Families cant live with them, cant live without them.
Theyre like sitcom writers, except instead of laugh tracks, you get group chats and awkward holiday dinners.
But what happens when someone whos not even technicallyfamilydecides to write themselves into the story?
Demanding favors like you owe them?
It all started when OPs (original poster) dad began dating Jennifer a couple of years back.
But Jennifer was no freeloader.
She always paid the OP generously and stocked the house with snacks.
Ifsnacksare involved, who wouldnt say yes?
Apparently, being told no wasnt something this dude handled well.
That Jennifers home environment was unsuitable because her boyfriends son wouldnt babysit his kids.
Yeah, let that logic marinate for a sec.
Using social media to pressure ateenagerisnt just inappropriateits downright harassment.
If youre dealing withonline harassment, keep a record of all interactionsscreenshots are your best friend here.
And dont forget to adjust your privacy controls.
Limit who can message or tag you.
If the harassment escalates, talk to an adult you trust, or even local authorities.
Because trying to manipulate a teenager on social media is just next-level.
Manipulators love to play on guilt, social pressure, or even fake compliments to get their way.
In this case, Jennifers ex tried to guilt the OP into babysitting by claiming, Youre basically family.
Classic movebecause nothing says family bond like exploiting someone you barely know.
Always ask yourself, Would this person do the same for me?
Stick to your boundaries, and dont be afraid to call out shady behavior when you see it.
