In this story, we witness a tense domestic interaction revolving around a pregnant stepdaughter’s fear of climbing ladders. The stepfather, who is enthusiastic about gardening and fruit picking, asks for her assistance in picking tomatoes and plums. However, her reluctance to climb a ladder due to a history of anxiety and her current pregnancy complicates the situation. Despite her efforts to communicate her discomfort calmly, the stepfather’s reaction is to yell at her, accusing her of being dramatic. This escalates into a heated exchange where he insists she leave and does nothing while he handles the task himself.
The mother’s response to the situation reflects a certain level of understanding and acceptance of her daughter’s fear and limitations. She acknowledges that her stepdaughter doesn’t climb ladders, suggesting that this is a well-known fact within the family. This acknowledgment implies that her mother recognizes and respects her stepdaughter’s boundaries and doesn’t pressure her to confront her fears unnecessarily.
