Woman Storms Off After Being Told By Her Stepdaughter That She Can't See Her Grandchild's Private Parts
She just needed to confirm whether it is indeed a boy.
Families are strange—let's start there. However, something is even stranger about the fact that this person's stepmother (whom she does not even identify as such in her family, despite having lived together for many years) insists on wanting to see her grandchild's genitals that have not even been born yet.
According to her, her dad started dating this "awful woman" when she was just 2 years old, and they have never gotten along, even as she grew into adulthood. She shared the context behind the story in a Reddit post on the subreddit r/JUSTNOFAMILY.
She continues to recount how the stepmother had no boundaries while she was growing up with her sisters, such as insisting they leave the doors open in their rooms even when changing clothes. One time, the stepmother, whom she refers to as "Groodie" in the post, approached her and asked if she had a photo of their ultrasound scan because she wanted to "make sure he's a boy."
But it doesn't stop there. She wanted to see the genitals in the ultrasound picture itself.
Weirded out, OP told her that it was extremely strange for her to beg to see it, and the stepmother stormed off because she wasn't shown a picture and was refused one. She even tried to reason with her.
Check out the highlights of the post below!

Just blink.

Can we all normalize not sharing pictures of ultrasound genital shots? Thanks.
Reddit
At least there's more proof that it's a boy with this one.
Reddit
Are they just interested in seeing the baby's genitals to estimate how big their dad's is...? Creep.

It's definitely way different!
Reddit
Indeed, it's so sickening!
Reddit
She definitely has some issues that need to be addressed.

Anyone who raises a fuss over not being able to see a kid's private parts should never be left alone with a child at all!
Reddit
Right? Why can't they just accept the parents' word for it?
Also, ensuring that someone is circumcised is borderline creepy.
Reddit
Do they have a fetish, or do they just have problems?
Reddit
We all thought of the "p" word.
Reddit
Why do they need to make *sure* anyway? It's not like something's going to change if they did know.
Reddit
Don't get complacent with the scans.
Reddit
It depends on the parents, but really, stop showing photos of your uterus around.

Why are there so many people obsessed with looking at a kid's private parts? It also does NOT help that these people are mostly relatives. You wouldn't want to see their genitals when they grow up, would you?
Reddit
Creep!

Boundaries will help a lot.

It's definitely strange to hear stories like this, and it's even weirder to learn that they aren't the only ones experiencing this. Why, of all things, are some people so obsessed with staring at a baby's genitals in the first place?
