A stepmom and stepdaughter relationship can be complicated.

This woman has been trying hard to be a good mother to her stepdaughter, but the nine-year-old has always been disrespectful.

When she reached her limit, she started yelling at the kid.

Now she’s wondering if she messed up.

Read the full story below.

AITAH for screaming at my stepdaughter?

I (27F) have a husband (29M).

He has a nine-year-old daughter from his previous relationship.

We both look after her, and I do everything a mother should do for her child.

Meet Ivy…

My stepdaughter is Ivy.

Her mother abandoned my husband and her when she was 3.

I try my best to be a good mom for her, but my stepdaughter doesn’t listen to me at all.

My husband says she’s just a child and it’s fine.

But I feel really disrespected.

Ivy’s behavior towards her had been problematic.

Last time, when I picked Ivy up from school, she loudly called me a witch.

That was in front of her friends to show them that I won’t do anything about it.

The last straw was today, she refused to go to school, and she threw a slipper at me.

She finally yelled at Ivy for being disrespectful.

I got really mad and started yelling at her.

I pointed  out her outrageous behaviour.

Ivy started crying.

Later, my husband came up to me and started an argument about how she’s just a child. He said she didn’t want to make me mad.

She doesn’t know if she did the right thing.

I left the apartment to take some time for myself.

And now, I’m sitting in a cafe and writing this post.

So, I don’t know. Am I really overreacting?

Or are they the ones in the wrong?

Ivy is clearly pushing boundaries.

Let’s find out what others have to say about this on Reddit.

People are calling out the dad.

Let him handle the brat, says this person.

While this person suggests family therapy.

And marriage counseling, too!

Looks like the dad is raising a spoiled, disrespectful brat.
