His Mom Is Pressuring Him To Edit His Stepson Out Of Their Big Family Photo Because She Wanted A Pure Picture And Thinks He’s Not Really Family
This man is currently married, and he and his wife have their own children together. But his wife also has a son from her previous marriage.
So, when they all took a big family photo recently, his mother sparked some drama over their blended family.
According to him, everyone looked great in the family pictures, and he thought it went well. He also believed it was only right to include his stepson in the photos.
Yet, after they actually got the pictures back, his own mother began demanding that he edit his stepson out of the images. Why? Well, she claimed that his stepson was “not really family.”
As you can probably imagine, this made him seriously angry. He also told his mother no and refused to do such a thing.
Well, his mother wouldn’t back down and claimed that since he and his wife have their own biological kids together, she wanted to have a “pure” family photo.
“Like, what the [heck] does that even mean?” he asked.
“My stepson is a part of our family, and it feels so wrong to exclude him.”
His wife heard about what happened, too, and obviously, the whole situation made her really upset.

Nonetheless, his mom won’t stop pressuring him to edit his stepson out of the family pictures.
“She says she wants to frame it for her wall but doesn’t want my stepson in it,” he revealed.
Anyway, this whole situation is causing a ton of tension in their family, and he’s worried things will only get worse.
That’s why he’s begun questioning whether or not he’s just overreacting. He’s not sure if he has a right to stand his ground or if he should just give in to his mom’s demands to “keep the peace.”
“And how do I make my mom understand that my stepson is just as much a part of our family as everyone else?” he wondered.
Why do you think his mom thought it was okay to even ask him that? Does he need to set some serious boundaries with her? What advice would you give him?
