I’m 17F, I’m the second youngest (if you don’t count this new baby) my siblings are 29, 25, 20 and 15.
My parents are still together but decided to see other people; my mother started dating someone but they only lasted a few months and we only met him once, my dad started dating “Kayla” (23) a year ago and she recently moved in.
My mother and dad absolutely love Kayla, so do my siblings apart from my eldest sibling who’s indifferent.
My parents have always wanted me and Kayla to bond in a way that we don’t have, she does with my youngest sibling but she doesn’t attempt with me (thankfully) like one time I overheard mum saying she wishes I’d call Kayla mum and Kayla actually said that I shouldn’t, whenever mum and dad push Kayla to bond with me she’ll actually take a step back…she’s okay, but she’s not family.
She recently told us she’s pregnant.
I was talking to my friends and they asked if I was excited to have a new baby sibling, I said this baby isn’t my sibling and as soon as I move out I won’t have a thing to do with Kayla or the baby.
Kayla overheard because she started crying about how while she doesn’t want to be my mum, her baby is my sibling and she does “so much for me” she gives me an allowance (my parents don’t, £60 a week) drives me to my after school activities and tidies my room.
I said I never asked for any of that, that at minimum she’s acting as a stepparent and she’s always the one saying I’m not obligated to see her as family.
My dad overheard and said I can’t resent an unborn child, him and mum have been acting as normal but things are weird and Kayla won’t drive me to see my friends anymore.
Am I Wrong ? What do you think about this situation?
