Stepfamily life can be challenging, and it just gets tougher when the teen in the family starts pulling pranks on his stepparent. The two parties will probably have to talk things out, but if the teen keeps pushing the boundaries of what’s considered appropriate, it might get to a point when the stepparent will have to set some boundaries of his own. A stepparent redditor recently turned to the AITA community for advice on how he should’ve handled a prank his teen stepson pulled on him. He wrote that he loves to grow indoor plants, and he keeps them around the house, regardless of whether they’re in the kitchen or on the front porch. However, one day, his stepson, 16-year-old Sean, decided to have some fun and pulled a prank on his stepparent that crossed the line. You’ll find the full story, as well as how the internet reacted to it, below. Let us know in the comments what you think and what you would’ve done differently.
