A viral story on Reddit’s AITA forum discusses the role of a stepmother in caring for her stepdaughter’s baby. The stepmother, age 38, married her husband, Sam, ten years ago when his daughter, Leah, was 15. Leah, now 25, became pregnant last year but faced challenges as a single mother due to her boyfriend leaving. She moved back in with her father and stepmother, who both work. Leah asked her stepmother to stay home with the baby after her maternity leave, but the stepmother declined, citing her job and lack of desire to raise a child. This led to tension, with Leah feeling unsupported and her father pressuring the stepmother. Reddit largely supported the stepmother’s decision, emphasizing Leah’s responsibility and suggesting she seek child support from her ex.
