My stepdaughter (27f) gave birth to her first child 6 weeks ago. She went to my ILs house to celebrate the baby over the weekend. My husband and I were there and so was my daughter (24f). My husband and I have been married for 22 years and together for 23 years. My stepdaughter lived primarily with us from the ages of 6 to 17. Her mom was still in the picture but moved around a lot.

My daughter brought a card and gift for my stepdaughter’s baby. My stepdaughter opened up the card and loudly claimed my daughter needed to take it back because she wasn’t Aunt Jade to her baby and she would not be bringing that into her house when she had signed it that way. My daughter was embarrassed and upset with the very quick rejection of the card and the title but she took the card back. I told my stepdaughter she could have handled that with far more tact and being rude to my daughter was not right.

My stepdaughter told me I had no right to accuse her of being rude. She said if the card from me and her dad could be from Grandpa and Rose, then my daughter should know her place and know she won’t be an aunt or a family member to her child. She told me I had just called out a newly post partum mom and should be ashamed of myself and she said my daughter needed to realize her place.

AITA for calling her out?
