Her Daughter Broke Her Stepson’s iPad, So She’s Grounding Her This Christmas As Punishment And Not Allowing Her To Come Out Of Her Room

A woman has been married to her current husband for a decade, and together, they have a 9-year-old daughter named Maya.

Prior to marrying her husband, she had her 14-year-old daughter Nova from a previous relationship, and her husband also has a 15-year-old son from another relationship, and his name is Oliver.

Approximately one month ago, Nova wound up breaking Oliver’s iPad. Although Nova swore that it was completely unintentional, Oliver is convinced otherwise.

Oliver thinks that Nova broke his iPad intentionally because she was envious of him having one.

Unfortunately, nothing can be done to fix Oliver’s iPad, so she and her husband have to go out and purchase a brand-new one for him.

“I told Nova she has to buy one for him, and since she doesn’t have any money, this is what we are going to do,” she explained.

“She is going to ask for half of the iPad’s money from her dad for Christmas. I’ll also give her the other half.”

“Then she can buy an iPad for Oliver. She wasn’t happy about it and threw a tantrum about not getting any Christmas gifts for herself this year.”

She then informed Nova that every single action has a consequence, and this is what she deserves for breaking Oliver’s iPad on purpose.

Well, she just found out that Nova’s father will not give Nova half of the money needed to purchase a new iPad for Oliver.

Instead, Nova’s father is planning on purchasing Nova her very own iPad for Christmas without trying to help replace Oliver’s.

She knows that Nova convinced her father to go along with this plan because Nova really wants to own her own iPad.

“I asked her what about Oliver, and she just shrugged,” she said. “I told her, in this case, you are grounded for Christmas. This year she is supposed to be with me for Christmas, and it’s court-ordered, so her dad can’t do anything about it.”

“I told her she won’t celebrate with us. She’ll get her iPad, but she’ll stay in her room. Her dad… says I’m cruel for doing this punishment. I think she needs this lesson.”

She’s left wondering if she’s right or if Nova’s dad is right in this situation. What do you think?
