MY STEPMOM TOLD ME TO WASH DISHES AFTER HER BIRTHDAY PARTY BECAUSE I DIDN’T GIFT HER A DISHWASHER – KARMA HIT BACK FOR HER AUDACITY Ever since my dad remarried Trudy two years ago, my life has been a nightmare. She acts like the world revolves around her. So, last Saturday was her big birthday party, and she made it clear she expected something special from me. “I know you’re saving up for prom, but you should just use that money to buy me a dishwasher. That’s what I really need,” she said, all casual. Of course, I couldn’t afford that, so I cleaned the house and helped with the party instead. But during the cake cutting, she tapped her glass, turned to me, and snapped, “Mia! Wash the dishes! I can’t believe you didn’t even think to buy me that dishwasher! Is that how you appreciate me?” I told her, “Trudy, I didn’t have the money.” “Excuses! Just do something useful,” she barked. So, I scrubbed dishes all night, feeling like a servant. But the next morning? Karma hit hard. I woke up to Trudy fuming in the kitchen, red-faced and shaking, “Mia! Look

Trudy, Mia’s stepmother, held an extravagant party for her 45th birthday and insisted that Mia buy her a dishwasher. But since she was saving for her prom dress, Mia was unable to pay for it and instead spent the day assisting with party preparation, serving drinks, and clearing up while dodging Trudy’s incessant demands.

Mia was publically humiliated by Trudy after the celebrations when he called her out for not receiving a present and told her to wash all the dishes. While everyone else enjoyed the celebration, Mia, suppressing her annoyance, obliged and scrubbed for hours.

The following morning, karma arrived. After Trudy poured meat oils down the sink, blocking the pipes and creating a massive mess, her kitchen flooded. To Trudy’s dismay, Mia’s father, David, said that they would have to reduce spending, with the exception of Mia’s prom outfit, which he had laid aside $500 for.

Trudy, humbled by the catastrophe, even volunteered to assist Mia in shopping for her dress. Despite her acceptance, Mia felt that the mess in the kitchen was a small act of justice from the universe.
