Sometimes, life is like a fairytale—magical, full of wonder, possibly with animals singing and dancing as you go about your day. And sometimes… life can be like a fairytale… at least like the original tales collected by the Brothers Grimm—dark, dreary, depressing, dangerous, and full of people who want to make your life a living hell.

In those stories, stepparents often played a very important part. And more often than not it was a wicked stepmother or stepfather who would be out to make the kids miserable. We’ve collected some of the worst examples of real-life stepparenting ever, from the r/insaneparents subreddit. Scroll down to see how to never ever treat kids, whether they’re biologically yours, adopted, or from the partner’s previous relationship.

Keep in mind that this in no way whatsoever means that all stepparents are somehow ‘evil.’ There are tons of amazing stepparents out there who love their stepkids very much. However, like in all areas of life, some people are simply rotten to the core, like a poison apple beneath its shiny red skin.

    Same thing happened with my dad. My brother was in the same hospital and I visited him everyday but didnt know our father was there. My ex told me Thanksgiving Day while he was visiting our son that he heard dad was in hospital. I called, nurses wouldn't tell me anything, waited a couple of minutes and his wife got on the phone and told me he died 10 minutes ago and she would tell the nurses to leave his body there so I could come in and visit.

I went to the hospital, talked to my dad, told him I loved him, went home to change clothes only to get the call that he passed away. I still refuse to speak to her. All she could say was come get your dads things, I don't want them in my house. There's a special place in hell for people like these.

    Not that I agree with this, and I can’t speak to other countries, but in the U.S. a minor’s (under 18 years old) parents own all of their property. When my 16 year old daughter paid cash for her car, the dealership couldn’t legally title it in her name. She insisted it go in my name, because she didn’t trust her dad or stepmom with “owning” a car she’d paid for.

    Yeah, only way around that is emancipation. Actually was in a dealership when an emancipated minor was trying to buy a vehicle and it was funny to see the salesman running back and forth between the title office and the girl all while on the phone with the companies lawyer trying to figure out how to do it

I lost all my grade tesis work, including backups, al because he needed "more space for internet surfing" (only had an old copy on floppy discs... that were allmost impossible to read, because there were no more floppy disck units...) Hope he is now treated exactly the way he treated my family. SOB

    Report for theft. Especially if you still have the receipts.

    View more comments

    The reason why stepmothers feature so prominently in the fairytales collected, compiled, and edited by the Brothers Grimm is that women died during childhood much more often than now. Meanwhile, medicine was also less advanced and a serious injury or illness could lead to the loss of life.

    Bored Panda previously spoke to a number of people about stepparents treating their stepkids poorly. In short, everyone agrees that nobody should have to deal with open hostility, toxicity, and a lack of love in a family setting.

    ADVERTISEMENT

    One story that we covered involved a stepmother who wanted her stepchild photoshopped out of the pictures in a family photo shoot, so she reached out to a Facebook group asking for their help. Naturally, people were horrified by such a request.

    They are. Many step up, raise children that are not theirs, love them, support them and fill in the gaps where their bio parent may not have given a crap. And some can be like this. BOTH represent step parents and BOTH exist. She is no more an example of a typical "stepparent" any more than "Mommy Dearest" is an example of a typical "adoptive parent". It is all on a spectrum.

    “Seeing the boy she wanted photoshopped out sitting by himself next to his step-siblings on the blanket just sort of broke me. But my reaction has changed after seeing it absolutely blow up. What really gets to me now is seeing people tell stories about being step-children who felt unloved (or at least not as loved as their step-siblings) growing up. That’s been my biggest takeaway from it,” one redditor, Foilfun, told us.

    I got you. The man who was my grandfather wasn't my biological grandfather. By the time he met my grandmother, she had 11 children (some might have been close to becoming adults) after 2 marriages. My grandfather married her, they had 2 additional children, and he treated all of the kids the same. Literally no one in my family uses the prefixes "step" or "half" to describe each other. He was a hard worker who made sure they always lived in a house, and even increased the property value by making additions to the house. Lastly, when my grandma died, he died less than 2 years later, despite being healthy for his age. We honestly believe he just didn't want to live without her.

    Don't marry the person if you're not willing to accept the child they already have. That is such bullsh*t. Wonder if the kids dad knows and is ok with that. If so he needs to not have any kind of custody. Poor kid.

    My daughters mum used to do this. She used to steal her spending money too. And when I bought her presents, like makeup and clothing when she was 13-16yo her mum used to steal them. She would threaten our daughter and say that she would make sure I never bought her anything, or give her spending money again, if she told me. I stopped being friends with her that day.

    Not necessarily, we are now at a pendulum swing and some of us Dads refuse to do that. I fully understood what my fathers actions made me into and I said nope. The only time I laid hands on my son was when he was 17 and thought he could square up to me over no internet time. I simply shoved him over as a warning not to do that to people who can wreck you. I felt bad but at least he learned the easy way and not a hospital visit provided by a stranger. Remember he tried to fight me.

    According to the redditor, a person doesn’t have to be related by blood to be treated like family.

    “They certainly don’t have to be blood to be family. I think that if you’ve made the choice to be a parent—step or otherwise—the responsibility is the same. These kids are the future. They’ll take both the best and the worst of you with them. If I were a father, I can’t help but feel like this would constantly be on my mind. Want to be a better parent of any kind? Don’t treat your kids like ‘kids.’ Treat them like the future. They didn’t ask to be here, but you get the chance to help them realize they can be everything,” they said.

    I'm not even a lawyer and I see holes all over this. Witness is a minor, you say 30 day notice to move out of bedroom, but then give a 3 day limit to get it done. Does that 3 days start at the time of notice? if so you didn't give me 30 days. You are allowing me to live here but restricting bathroom access. Now restricting my in home activities effective immediately? Where was my notice on that. And do you plan on escorting me from the property if I don't comply? Are you properly trained and deputized to do so? I doubt it. Was this notice to evict filed with the appropriate courts. If not then it isn't worth the paper it's printed on. I'm sorry for the young person who didn't know any better, but hopefully someone told him to never sign something like that again

    My Dad was having an affair with his high school student who was also my babysitter. One night she was coming over to babysit and he thought my room was too messy for her to see, so he shut me out, banned me from going inside, and made me sleep outside my bedroom door in a narrow hallway between two bookshelves with blanket and pillow only so that she wouldn't see the messy room. Keep in mind I was a kid, so when we say messy, we're talking just toys strewn about all over the place - not teenage girl mess. I didn't understand it back then, but once my mom found the love letters the student had written to him, and she told me they were getting a divorce while sobbing, it all made sudden sense. She became my stepmother and was constantly jealous of me due to her young age and needing him more as a father-figure than as a significant other. They later divorced.

    the whole story is insane. summary: basically, OP’s wife previously had a baby with a deadbeat guy in high school. the guy dropped out and broke all contact. OP and wife started dating, got married, and raised the daughter. 5 years later, the bio dad contacts them on Facebook. apparently his new wife (the stepmom) thinks they deserve the daughter and want her back. OP checked both of their profiles, and the stepmom had been collecting photos of the daughter and posting them on her profile as if they were her own. then bio dad and stepmom sued them for full custody and child support. they won visitation rights…the daughter didn’t open up to them at first, and stepmom started to threaten THE DAUGHTER to arrest OP and wife if she didn’t start opening up and liking them. there is a happy(ish) ending though. bio dad suddenly signed over the rights for OP to formally adopt the daughter, and that’s the good part.

    Stepmom and bio-dad are trying to kidnap lady's daughter (most kidnapping cases are family members). Stepmom wrote to one of bio-mom's friends, asking if she would help stepmom and bio-dad kidnap the kid under the guise of the friend babysitting the child, then meeting stepmom and bio-dad at another location and handing them the kid. She was trying to convince the friend to not trust bio-mom by stating she is "abusive" and "using" the friend. The friend, however, is a true friend, told stepmom to bugger off and sent the conversation to bio-mom so she is aware her ex (bio-dad) and his new wife (who bio-mom did not even know about) were trying to pull a kidnapping scam.

    Cameras do not go in the house if their purpose is to record where people go on a regular basis and or do personal things. Which means that there should be no cameras that are in a fixed place and record 24/7, or even for short amounts of time. Using cameras in a house the record others should be banned.

    I was with my girlfriend and thus not checking my phone, the first two messages were within ten minutes of one another, the third was thirty minutes after the first. The whole problem was that I parked my car in the upper driveway as opposed to the lower driveway, and he wanted to park his truck there. The pancakes comment is in reference to a previous time he has said something like this, because I made a joke about not giving him some pancakes when I was cooking them.

    The first time I read Harry Potter, I was by myself and it was fine. Then, around book 4, I was looking after my younger cousins and read it allowed to them. Suddenly the room went dark, it was noon in the middle of summer but felt like midnight. As a stifling heat filled the room a disembodied voice called out, 'Thank you for freeing me! Please continue, so that my brethren may also be free'. I grabbed a crucifix off the wall and yelled with all my might 'IN THE NAME OF LIGHT AND RIGHTEOUSNESS, I COMMAND YOU, BE GONE EVIL ONE!'. The voice softly spoke back, 'That's a bit rude, I only wanted to hear the rest of the story and maybe have a cup of tea! Sorry for disturbing you'. I called the voice back, apologised for making assumptions and we've been friends ever since. Oh and I did free it's brethren, turns out they are all really nice (except Tork, who squeezes the toothpaste from the middle).

    Has anyone seen "Jesus Camp"? It's a documentary about an evangelical,fundamental camp that indoctrinates children in the craziest ways, CHILDREN. It's from 2006, and got so much backlash and controversy that the camp was closed. Anyway, the lady that ran it did this whole speech about how bad Harry Potter is, and how evil it is. It's Crazy scary! Watch it, but be prepared to shake your head the whole time

    That thing makes me SO uncomfortable and depressed whenever I see it. They had 4 year olds praying over a cardboard cut-out of George Bush, for Christ sakes! Shouting and crying at 7 because of the "presence of God" so cult like. It was awful and emotional abuse. Felt dirty after viewing it. Glad to hear it has closed...that creepy type of brainwashing is why we have such ignorant masses now.

    It’s not religion’s fault, most people aren’t this stupid to think a work of fiction can summon demons. Also fun fact, for a while it was heresy to believe in magic at all. So saying “this book can summon demons” would actually be against religion because magic isn’t real.

    False equivalent. Though they’re both under the umbrella of the FDA, food testing is wildly different from drug testing. They each have their own set of acceptable standards for approval. Additionally, the food side of the department is woefully underfunded and therefore understaffed. The lack of an adequate number of food inspectors is way more alarming than the well-funded drug side prioritizing the testing and approval of emergency vaccinations for a worldwide pandemic—-which happen to work, btw.

    You should always wash produce anyway, regardless. Who knows who handled it, where/how it was stored, and whether it was even washed before you bought it, so it’s probably at least just plain dirty. I beg to differ about the pesticides, however.

    You pay rent with a part time job but I bet it isn't much and doesn't cover your food, the electricity, water, internet and phone. This is asking for a lot and you couldn't even tidy your room but complain about internet timers? Why not pay for your own internet? 20 years old is too old to be living with your parents and expect a mostly free ride. It seems to me your step dad is trying to teach you a sense of responsibility and you're entitled.

    I think a parent limiting internet access is okay when an adult kid is playing around all day, mooching off them. No one wants a Forever Child running around their house at all hours of the night while they have to keep a normal schedule/life.

    It's a running training app that gets you from the couch potato to running a 5k distance. I get the feeling the parent here is trying to motivate an adult kid with no direction. Especially with the "don't stay up all night, I'm waking you at 8am" part. Parents seem frustrated the kid isn't growing up.

    I was like a less extreme version of SD here for a while. I didn't care then, and don't care now, about someone's gender Identity, but I thought it was something of a joke and had a lot of bad "information" on gender identity that validated my opinion. Then had some friends explain the difference between gender and sex, had some real research shown to me, completely changed my opinion. I'm still on the fence for gender reassignment surgery for minors, and I may be wrong for that, but at least I'm not close minded anymore

    At the same time....I get it if step mom was sexually abused because of something simular. I mean it doesn't mean this is okay. But I get it. Molesters are always a close family friend. Now I got two daughters myself and I make sure their modest. But I catch you staring at my kids ill f*****g poke your eyes out. Their children.

    You should look into the Pfizer side effects that were just released. You'll more likely die from the vaccine than Covid. Her opinion on vaccines doesn't make her a bad step mom but maybe trying to pass it off that way makes you a bad step kid. Read something other than liberal news and educate yourself. A simple search for pfizer vaccine documents will quickly pull up what you need to know along with them trying to bury the data for 75 years.

    What? Are you kidding? Your mom treated you like that when you were in COLLEGE? Aka a legal adult? Why would your mom know what work was due? It's YOUR responsibility, not hers. Yes, my parents paid for college and expected me to succeed - but they also expected me to manage my own classes and work, just like every other college student does. Is mommy also going to text you about deadlines when you have a full time job? And threaten to take your TV away if you aren't meeting them? Sorry, but that's a perfect recipe for growing a completely useless adult who expects everyone else to manage their time for them. Helicopter parenting at its worst!

    If stepmother is paying for the college and the kid's getting behind, well, yeah, a contract is not unreasonable. There's no such thing as being treated like an adult; there's being treated like someone who is responsible and capable of standing on their own feet. 'But I'm 20... *whine*' So what?

If OP is old enough to have a boyfriend there should be no way in hell that they have to go and “kiss and make up” and “cuddle” with someone who threatened to kick them out. Why do some parents think it’s ok to be such a terrible and emotionally abusive person just because they’re given this “title” that says they have a child under their watch?

    Please just move out if you're in your 20s and contributing to the household and still being treated like this. The workload is intense but the freedom means much more. There is no reason.

    Honestly, I have a kid I need to give very specific instructions to and ask questions like that a lot. Example, the kid threw up (one of those 24hr bugs) and missed the toilet. Puke all over the outside of the toilet, on the wall, toilet brush, etc. Honestly looked like he missed the bowl on purpose. Anyway didn't tell anyone and we found out the next day, after he was feeling better. Told him he had to clean up the mess. Go back into the bathroom and he cleaned the toilet but nothing else. I asked him why he didn't clean the rest and said "Well it wasn't obvious what you wanted so I just cleaned the toilet"

    Minimum wage for an 18 year old where I live is just over £1000 per month before taxes/NI deductions for an 18 year old. Rent on a starter style home is about £750pm, plus there is council tax of about £105pm, then you have gas, electricity, food, water etc. It's great that you were able to move out at 18 but not realistic for everyone, especially if they don't have anyone to share with. Also, not everyone gets to live rent free with their family so saving up for a deposit and first month's rent isn't easy.

    Unwanted senders can easily be blocked. It's not rocket surgery.

    I guess I'll be that person- You made agreements with her when you had her pay your tuition. Like she said- you don't get to redefine the terms of the agreement without consulting the other party. You're adult enough to make the agreement, you're old enough to learn to renegotiate an agreement properly.

    What?!? If you decide to help someone and be generous that means you expect nothing in return. Let alone wanting to put a tracking device on an actual human being. That is insane and the fact that you're defending this is unhealthy, toxic, and wrong. I'm convinced that a lot of human beings have forgotten how to human.

    My parents have a thing on my phone and pc where they can remotely lock it, track its every move, see everything I do on it, can set limits on it, block sites and apps, won't let me install anything or unlock the thing without a password I don't have, and can even remotely control them.

    When I was your age, there was one simple desk phone in the living room; no private conversations. PCs didn't exist; until HS, my parent would take me to the bookstore or library. My parents didn't need to monitor my behavior like parents do these days cause today there's so much access, and life wasn't as dangerous.

    Set her on fire and throw water over her. If the fire doesn't kill her, the water will.

    For everyone else, as clarification: The step-mom, not the kid.

    I think this one is just a rant. There's no mention of any aggression or anger toward the child, just frustration about the situation in general. If she doesn't have a therapist this could just be a form of talk therapy for her and I hope she reaches out to some chat groups for grieving parents and children.

    I do not understand why people have their pitchforks out for this lady. She is simply venting that she's in a difficult caregiving situation. She's allowed to feel frustrated. It's normal to need to talk about that. It doesn't mean she's not being a loving, sympathetic step mom. As someone who has been in some extremely frustrating caregiving situations, I can definitely say that I would've exploded if I couldn't have vented that frustration away from the people I was caring for. It isn't always sunshine and rainbows. It's ok to have frustrations and negative feelings. Don't make people feel guilty for being human. As long as she's doing the right thing with the kid, let her have her feelings.
