Recently, I started noticing that she was using my expensive shampoo without asking. I told her to stop. That\u2019s when my stepmom rushed to my room and blew up, \u201cYou are so petty and selfish!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>So when she left, I secretly arranged all my shampoo and conditioner into a locked box I keep in my closet now. After it, I added a cheap brand to the bathroom shelf.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>When my stepsister found out, she said, \u201cIt\u2019s just shampoo, why are you making it a big deal?\u201d I told her that if it\u2019s just shampoo, then she can buy her own. She rolled her eyes, and now they are both mad at me. My MIL complains to my dad that I\u2019ve been treating her daughter like a total stranger, while family should always come first.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>My dad told me to apologize \u201cto just keep the peace,\u201d but I don\u2019t feel like I did anything wrong. I buy my own stuff with my own money, and she doesn\u2019t even ask! I don\u2019t really think it\u2019s fair to call me selfish for that. So, I\u2019m sitting here wondering what I should do next: unlock my shampoo and let my stepsister use it just to cool things down, or stand my ground? Please help.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Long story short, my stepsister doesn\u2019t have a job.
