A woman faced a dilemma with a family heirloom, an emerald necklace traditionally passed down to the eldest child.

Her husband wanted it for his daughter from a previous marriage, leading to a Reddit plea for advice.

The woman, married to Joey for two years, had a family tradition of gifting the heirloom on the

child’s 14th birthday. Her daughter, Emily, was to receive it. Joey suggested giving it to his daughter,

Sophia, to symbolize acceptance in their new family. Emily objected, emphasizing the family tradition.

Joey accused her of favoritism and involved his family. Reddit users supported the woman,

criticizing Joey’s stance and hypocrisy. They believed Emily should receive the heirloom.

This dispute strained their marriage, highlighting the challenges of blending families

with different traditions. Reddit users felt her reasons were justified, supporting her decision to give the necklace to Emily.
