It's my mom trying to get me to upset my stepmom?

I'm 15. I have been living with my dad and stepmom since I was 5. My mom has been in and out of my life. My mom bought me a new iPhone and she put it on her plan. My Mom told me I can have it but my stepmom is not allowed to touch it and she is not allowed to through my call logs or text messages. My mom said I'm you mother not her, your my my daughter not hers and she doesn't have a right to tell you what you can and can't do. This is annoying me because my mom has always these kind of conditions. I don't want the stupid iPhone because it's going cause problems. It's like she always trying to get me to upset my stepmom.

If you don't want it, then you don't have to have it. Kindly tell her you don't want the phone because you feel it puts you in between them. That's not a comfortable spot for you to be in and she shouldn't have put you in the middle.

I understand what your mom is trying to do. You're her baby and nobody else's. Someone else is going to be raising her child and it probably makes her feel conflicted? She more than likely want the upper hand over your stepmom.

Your stepmother does have the right to tell you what to do since you live with her. Your mother has no right to set such conditions. Either refuse the phone or ignore her conditions. There's no way your mom would know if she "touched" the phone.

I would hope not

  • Why exactly would my dad be upset at me that I broke his laptop after he smashed my iPhone and stepped on it? My dad took my iPhone and smashed it. So I pushed his laptop off the table and it broke. Now he is mad at me. How can he be when he destroyed my iPhone? Irony. Oh I do chores around the house and cook. He broke my phone because I had the speaker too loud when I was studying and watching a video for class
  • Why am I so upset over this? URGENT? Ok so I went to a music festival the other day and lost my iPhone. I don't know if it was dropped or stolen, but it has been all I've been thinking/ worrying about since then. I have been bawling hysterically and keep over thinking/ regretting how I could have lost it or where it could be. I can't stop having these obsessive thoughts and its making me so depressed. Why am I getting so worked up over this?
  • Why am I so upset about this situation? I bought my boyfriend a brand new iPhone 6 for christmas but when he opened it he didn't seem too keen about it because he wanted the iPhone 6s. So he's been asking me almost everyday to sell it so I can buy the 6s and he will pay the difference. We get into arguments about it all the time. If he doesn't like it why doesn't he just sell it and take care of it? I just feel really beyond disrespected
  • Upset and worried and don't know what to do I got told by my mum when she called me from work saying police are going to track down my iPhone. I don't want that to happen and I'm becoming increasingly worried and upset. What should I do to make sure I'm safe? )
