Today, my father told me that because of my 4.0 with all AP classes, I could choose where to eat tonight. My stepmother told him I wanted to eat at IKEA, of all places, because that's what she wanted. Guess who he believed, and guess where I am right now. FML

So I guess when you order food, they give you a box full of ingredients and a tiny butter knife?

Maybe your stepmom just thought a 4.0 was worth a $4 meal

I've never been in an IKEA. I never knew. That's pretty neat.

Let me guess: stepmom says you want IKEA, You say you definitely do not, stepmom accuses you of lying about it just to pick a fight with her, aaaaan off to IKEA you go.

kind of your fault because you could have spoken up and told him the truth

Pretty sure OP did try to fight it, as they said “guess who he believed.”

If you have a 4.0 GPA I bet you could have thrown a life preserver into all the bullshit your stepmom is saying and save you and your dad from drowning.

Clarifying time: Yes, this happened. My father told me I could choose, so I said I'd think about it. I left the room, and came back a little while later. My dad said he liked my choice, and that IKEA sounded great. I told him I never made my decision, and my step mother said she had just loved the idea when she heard it from me. They then spent the entire car ride telling me I was "a detriment to this family" and I "don't deserve such amazing parents." They don't understand why I wanted my mother to have full custody.

I told my daughter if she gets a 4.0 I would buy her a car. I should have started lower

Aren’t AP classes weighted though? You should have higher than a 4.0 if you’re getting straight A’s ;)

I’m just teasing you OP, grats on your 4.0 regardless! :)

Picking where to eat is all you would have gotten? What kind of family is that?

If this is the usual dynamic between the three of you, you’ve got more pressing issues than IKEA for dinner. For your sake, I hope you’re only around those two on the weekends or something, or you are almost out of the house. Sounds like a toxic environment. Good luck getting away from it.

So you found out you have a totally white trash stepmom who likes low class food too, no problem dude, take her there for Mother’s Day and it will only cost you .99 cents before 0900!
